HENDRICKS: ‘WEIGHT CRITICISM HURT MY FEELINGS’
MAD MEN star CHRISTINA HENDRICKS was hurt by the negative reaction to her= voluptuous figure in the fashion press - insisting the comments left a "= bad taste in her mouth".
The ravishing red-head showed off her curves in a lavish ball gown at l= ast month’s (Jan10) Golden Globes ceremony.
A New York Times style critic was forced to apologise after writing, "b= ig girls shouldn’t wear big dresses". The blogger later insisted the phot= ograph of Hendricks had been accidentally distorted.
The actress was stunned by the talk about her weight - and she’s urging= reporters to focus on her performances rather than her dress size.
She tells New York Magazine, "It kind of hurt my feelings at first. Any= time someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous, you get= really self-conscious. I was working my butt off on the show, and then a= ll anyone was talking about was my body! It just leaves a bad taste in my= mouth."
