The fashion and lifestyle magazine Marie Claire Mexico released its February issue with a cover starring the extra-large actress, host and comedian, Michelle Rodríguez. The main photo quickly went viral on social media, with hundreds of users congratulating the magazine for representing people with bigger bodies.
However, according to Proceso, other Internet users were responsible for canceling the cover and even commenting offenses on the personal accounts of the Mexican, who without hesitation responded to all criticism through a YouTube video.

“For a long time there has been a conversation about whether fatphobia exists or not and I think that this shows that it exists and that in our country we have minimally discussed it. (…) They say that I don’t look good, that I’m fat and that this shouldn’t happen; that we are romanticizing obesity,” Michelle said in the video that has more than 30,000 views.
Fatphobia, the evil that discriminates on the new cover of Marie Claire
The Argentine government indicates that fatphobia is the “speech and actions that mock, marginalize, stereotype, prejudge, reject and imply the obstruction or violation of the rights of people under the pretext of being fat.”
In the case of Mexico, this is an issue that has been widely discussed because, like other Latin American countries, the beauty and health standard continues to be that of a thin woman, as indicated by El País.
It is for this reason that Michelle Rodríguez wanted to bring some awareness to this issue in her extensive 8:35 minute post.
“I am worthy of being seen and recognized for my talents, skills and also for my beauty. My body is beautiful, my body exists, my body feels. I love him and I don’t fight him. My body is not a battle, my body is a revolution,” said the actress.

She stressed that if her fatness is due to obesity problems, it was a situation that only concerns her and her doctor and that, even if she was sick, she is also worthy of posing for the cover of a magazine.
