See this is what I hate about being an actress who is considered overweight.  Basically anyone over size 6 in Hollywood.  Melissa McCarthy is stuck in this typecasting of funny side kick/foul mouthed overweight chick, because nothing else is available. Nobody gives her other roles.

I myself in acting workshops or in front of casting directors always get handed a script for the friendly sister, neighbor, a nurse because of my size.  I never get a lead acting scene because I am not considered the standard in the industry.

Melissa McCarthy has finally made it into movies as the lead, and a jerk like this, all he can see is her size, totally erasing the acting skills.  It makes me sick.

I know as a heavier actress that even if she does not respond to this (which she shouldn't), or if she puts up a brave front, it still hurts inside.  So I hope she keeps her head up and smiles and gets all those acting awards that she deserves.
this tool can spread all the venom he wants about her, but it's really just a waste of breath and won't change the fact that she is a successful actress with tons of fans who appreciate her talent.
