I Don’t Care What Perez Hilton Says, I Think Beth Ditto Is Kind of Disgusting
August 24th, 2007 by Evil Beet
Okay, people: Fidel Castro is not dead and Beth Ditto is not sexy.
Look. I get what she’s trying to do.
She’s a lesbian (although she’s dating a transgendered “boyfriend”). She’s an outspoken feminist. She’s fighting for gay rights. And that’s all okay with me. In fact, I think it’s great.
But she’s really fat. And I guess what she’s trying to do is demonstrate that big is beautiful. Big is sexy. Big girls can wear small shorts.
But you know what?
No.
Sorry, but no.
And I’m sorry if people think I’m setting back the women’s rights movement like 100 years, but no one likes to see a fat chick in shorts like that. And it’s not healthy. And it’s not smart. And obesity is an epidemic in this country and while I’m all about sending the message that it’s okay to be gay and it’s okay to be an outspoken woman and it’s okay to deviate from the norm, I’m not about sending the message that your BMI can be equivalent to your height in inches and that’s okay.
At a UK music festival this weekend.

My two cents: I don’t think Beth Ditto has any more right to be a role model for women as stupid Paris, anorexic Nicole, cracked-out Amy or slutty Britney do. Fat people might have a genetic predisposition to being fat but you can’t tell me that Ditto actually takes proper care of herself.
My girlfriend has a thyroid problem. It’s genetic and been passed on through several generations. Without care it causes morbid obesity. But she exercises. She eats meat, dairy, bread, fruits and veggies from local organic farmers. In moderation. And she’s 115lb. Guess what? She takes care of her condition.
I suffer from depression but I’ve followed many research claims and use exercise instead of pills and somehow I don’t have huge weight gain problems (or weight loss problems in my wallet).
It’s hard for diabetics to give up sugar and for alcoholics to give up booze. Does it mean they shouldn’t? Does that means they should publicly parade their sick selves around and tell the world it’s okay not to make an extra effort when you have a problem? Ask the influx of obese children who stuff MacDonald’s burgers in their mouths by the dozen.

why talk so much about what she looks like? she is fucking wicked I love her voice and her band if she is overweight that is her business just like if Amy winehouse wants to smoke crack its her business I buy gossip c.ds because I like the music that is all that should matter.
Well said agree 100%
some of you people are so fucking boring. who gives two shits what she looks likes- she is doing her own thing, which is more than I can say for the majority of celebrities. and I agree with those who say that slurs about obesity come from bigots. you have your own fucking problems, just like every person in the world- and if someone happens to eat what they shouldn’t, why is it any different from anyone else’s vice? I’m sure there is less hype about an anorexic celebrity.
anyway, I’d like to say that Beth Ditto is fucking cool, and if you disagree, don’t pretend it’s because of concern over her potential health issues.
A debate regarding the fat bashing of a rock star (who incidentally, could give two shits what stupid people think) is an interesting outcome to Beth’s extravagance. This much needed discussion of fatism wouldn’t occur if she wasn’t so brazen. DOWN WITH FATISM!!!
Secondly, the one known as Beth Ditto did not intend on becoming the sensation she is. They were playing music and having fun. I know MANY musicians who are in that same frame of mind. However, because Gossip’s music rocks and their shows are legendary, she couldn’t help but be famous. I have to congratulate her. Not only for her success but because, she is one of a very few celebrities who, through many avenues, uses her clout to enact a positive influence on the minds of humanity. YAY! ACTIVISM!!!
Finally, Beth Ditto IS hot. I’m not pleasantly voluptuous, but I FULLY appreciate full women. Have you ever had sex with a woman who possesses appreciative amounts of hormones? It’s crazy fun. Sex with large women is honestly the hottest experience going. CHUBBY CHASERS UNITE!!!
First off, I hate those shorts, they look like some kind of 80s spandex nightmare. They are just about the most unflattering item Beth Ditto could have chosen to wear, they make her legs look huge and extremely pale, and although if anyone could pull off normally unflattering clothes it’s her, they just aren’t nice.
Looking at the photos, I think they’re way too tight. The shorts cut into her thighs, making her legs look a lot bigger than they really are. Whether people are skinny or fat, they should always wear clothes that fit! I have a friend who is probably a UK size 10, but she insists on squeezing into size 8 jeans just because she can and she gets the classic muffin top syndrome. It drives me mad because if she bought jeans that fitted, she would look a lot better!
Anyway, despite the fact that those shorts would look nasty and cheap on anyone regardless of size, there’s the fact that clothes that tiny look better on skinny people. They just do. I’m not against fat people, and I’m definitely not supportive of fat people wearing clothes that resemble shower curtains just to cover up, but wearing tiny shorts/underwear isn’t right either.
On the other hand, if she’s trying to send out a message that fat girls can’t be forced to wear sacking, fair enough. I love Beth Ditto, music and style. Usually she looks great, although I sometimes look at her and wonder if she got dressed in the dark, but it’s always fun and unique. But wearing clothing to make a statement doesn’t always mean wearing clothing that suits you/flatters you. It just depends whether you want to look good, or promote discussion. Having said that, I’m pretty sure she could have combined the two without those shorts.
okay..so I’ve read a bunch of these comments and you know what…it just makes me so sad to see how crappy and small minded people can be..I’ve been overweight for just about forever, I’ve tried so many things. I’m had tests done to check for thyroid problems and nothing seems to be wrong. I diet and excerise. A little over two years ago i quit smoking and quit drinking all sodas and cut out caffeine. I lost about ten pounds and that was it.I slowly gained it back. Then this past June my dad when into the hospital and I decided to try to cut even more unhealthly things out of my diet. I swore off all fast food and Starbucks and sweet tea. I haven’t had any of those things since then and again, I lost about ten pounds and nothing else. I’ve slowly gained that back also. I just started Aspen Clinic. I didn’t want to have to turn towards medication but I felt like I had no choice, I’ve tried other methods and nothing works. So far i’ve lost 13 pounds which is awesome, I’m really hoping this works for me. The next step if it doesn’t will have to be lapband or gastric bypass surgery. I don’t understand, I eat way way way less than most people do. I eat small amounts of food about twice a day usually in the morning then again that late afternoon. A lot of times the entire day will go by and I’ll realize that I hadn’t eaten since that morning..and I don’t feel hungry. I don’t think of food all day like most people seem to think us fat chicks do. It’s really hard..I’ve gotten to a point that I’m so sick out it I just don’t know know what to do. If one more person tells me “You got such a pretty face.” I’ll go nuts. Sometimes fat people can’t control the fact that they are overweight. I don’t feel overweight..but then I look in the mirror and feel trapped. I don’t wear the kinds of clothes this girl Ditto does because I’m embarrassed by the way I look even though I shouldn’t because it’s not like I’m sitting on the couch all day eatting extra king sized burgers and fries..I try to help myself. On my birthday I was out with some friends at a bar and this cute guy started talking to me, I told him it was my birthday and we chatted for a little then all of a sudden he says to me..”So..tell me..why don’t you do anything about yourself?” I didn’t understand..he says again “I mean, how can you go out in public looking like this? It’s just not acceptable. Being fat like this is not acceptable. You are not acceptable.” Just thinking of what he said to me is bringing tears to my eyes right now. I couldn’t believe someone could be so horrible as to say something like to another person. I didn’t tell anyone what he said, I just went home to cry to myself on my birthday. My point from all of this is..some of you need to try not to judge others so much because you never know why things are the way they are, plus it’s just really hurtful.
awwww. boohoo.
I should say the same thing to you. You obviously have a disordered relationship with your body… I mean… especially with your screen-name “I want to be thinner”… how sad.
Life is for living not trying to be something you’re not.
How about trying to do the old fashioned cooing, eh? If you stop eating the ready made shit from the supermarket and ate three ir five times a day in order not to slow down your metabolism, and rode your bike some 20km every day, I bet you’d stop complainging about being obese. Please don’t tell me you eat less than other people. Just cut out shit like pasta, pizza, bread and similar crap.
If you ever check this back out it sounds like you’ve slowed your metabolism down too much with the weight loss attempts. You’ll need to do an intense and dedicated workout to get into shape. If it makes you feel better many of the thin people posting here are probably out of shape too and in no better health than you. Your body has probably learned to overcompensate for years of crash diets. The workouts you’d need to do to get into health would be just as hard for you as for the “healthy” thin people and the muscle you would initially gain would help you stay slimmer in the long run. There may not be a “thin” person underneath the fat but I guarantee you that there is a fit person under there. You should try to find a good trainer and a good friend or two to workout with to help keep you from losing your willpower. Best of luck!
okay..so I’ve read a bunch of the comments and you know what…it just makes me so sad to see how crappy and smile minded people can be..I’ve been overweight for just about forever, I’ve tried so many things. I’m had tests done to check for thyroid problems and nothing seems to be wrong. I’ve dieted, and excercised. A little over two years ago i quit smoking and drinking all sodas and cut out caffeine.

I’m in school to be a Registered Dietitian. The reason you don’t understand why you’re not losing weight, or why it’s so difficult for you, is because you don’t understand food sciences. Go see a GOOD Registered Dietitian, follow what they say exactly, and I promise you, you’ll lose weight. There is no mythical gene that keeps anyone morbidly obese that can’t be controlled. There are medications for every hormonal problem. The human body endures massive stress as extra weight is added, you are not “loving yourself” but accepting AND continuing being fat, you are hurting yourself physically.
Beth Ditto, and every other in-your-face-fatty can go die. They send the wrong message.
Um…sorry hon, but I share the exact story with Nikki up there. Tested for everything – thyroid function tests, been to endocrinologists, food allergy tests, and yes, even several dietitians….since I was ELEVEN YEARS OLD. I’ve been put through the ringer 3 times in my life, and they never find anything. There is nothing wrong with me. I’m just fat. (I WISH I had something like a thyroid condition which could be treated, but I don’t.) The dietitian I saw when I was 11 (been to several) put me on the Americans with Diabetes Diet (which everyone should be on), and I have been exercising since I was eleven. I go to the gym and do an hour of cardio 3 times a week, and yes, I even hired a personal trainer for 6 months to make sure I was doing everything right. He was baffled by my not losing any weight. I told him “That’s okay, I’ve always been fat.” My daily caloric intake is 1,200 calories, all of which come from fruits, vegetables, and lean meat like chicken, broken up into several small meals a day. {{{As a side note to Nikki, eating that little twice a day is shutting down your metabolism into starvation mode, which just makes your body VERY good at hoarding every little calorie it can get. You have to break it up to trick your metabolism into kicking in.}}} Even after all that, I am still 5′10″ and 256 lbs. My blood sugar is perfect, my resting pulse is about 63, and my blood pressure is about 100/60. I am in perfect health. I’m just fat. And yes, I have been ruthlessly ridiculed my whole life.
So, Stephanie, wake up. Instead of telling people that their ignorance of food science is keeping them fat, and realize that some people really are just fat, there is SOMETHING that hasn’t been discovered about us fatties, and we can’t do anything to stop it, try as we may.
Oh, and uh….. in-your-face. You can go die.
You disgust me. You really do. You obviously have are weightist and are biased against fat people. I hope you are NEVER a dietitian because you don’t deserve to pretend you’re helping people.
You realize you just wished DEATH on people, don’t you. You’re sick. Drop out of school now so you don’t hurt anyone.
You disgust em too, fat people. Stop eating junk, get off your arses and start cycling to work, cook from scratch, eath five times a day and stop windgeing!
nikki, its not about she is fat. its about her message seems to say; fat is good. you agree?dont think so…
So Britney and all of the skinny girls can wear little short shorts but not Beth? I’m not exactly skinny as a twig and you know what I would never have the balls to do what she does. I think is skinny girls can show off their bodies then so can girls with meat. Get over it.
I do not like how you will sit on here and say Beth is not sexy.
She is my celebrity crush.
And I find skinny girls gross because there is nothing there.
Now if you don’t like her then just don’t look at her. Simple as that. No need to go write an article on her. Thats just stupid.
i would like to let you know, that she wasnt wearing shorts thats simply her underwear, her luggage got lost and she was already late for stage so her friend had to simply giver her something to wear which happens to be a christopher kane dress but evidently isnt quite her size, and ti kept riding up through out her performance at reading or glasontbury, whichever festival it was.
and beth ditto, being beth ditto thoguht, meeeh what the heck and just let it ride up.
Personally I think Beth is sex on legs whatever she wears
there is only 1 beth ditto she wud be nothing if she didnt do this
she is so brave an beautiful she is hottt with a capital H …
i serioulsy wnt to date her:P
loll
i love you beth!
So what if she is big? IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE OBIEST AND LACK IN HEALTH IF YOU ARE LARGE!!
It’s like saying a size 8 is perfectly healthy. You can be a size 20 and still be healthy.
People misjudge what they see.
And so what if she is wearing as little as possible. Why is that ok for slim people like myself and not bigger fuller women.
I think the bigger, more important point is that you should be allowed to love and show off your body no matter what it looks like.
The world isn’t full of attractive or unattractive people: it’s full of people that some find attractive and others don’t. That can be said of anyone.
I personally think shes cute but I am not at all attracted to thing chicks.
I think she does look disgusting, but it’s just a matter of taste.
So this is about her not being healthy but wearing short-shorts?
Well, there are tons of people who smoke, who drink, who do drugs. Why don’t you bitch about them wearing short-shorts too? or just write another blog about how gross they are.
Moderator: I was just reading your guide to commenting. The #2 reason to get tossed is if “You employ racism/homophobia/hate speech of any kind” (good rule IMO). I could be wrong, but isn’t this entire article a bit hate speechy? I mean, if you exchanged the word “fat” with “black”, (no, seriously, read it again with the words interchanged) heads would roll. I’m just sayin’.
that chick is fucking disgusting. just like a bag of bones is disgusting, a fat sack of crap is equally disgusting. people go from one extreme to the next. so let me get this straight, skinny people get put down, but obese slobs get praised. im not praising skinny people because looking like a skeleton is not healthy at all, but looking like a hippo isnt healthy either. and she doesnt have a “problem”. shes nasty and lazy. she wil “eat a whole bucket of chicken or two ice cream cartons”. those are her words. so no she doesnt have a health condition, she is just fat, nasty, and lazy.
what ever happened to normal sized people?
And for the people who say “who cares how she looks, her music rocks…blah blah blah” obviously this post was not about her music, it was about how she looks in that outfit.
Just how you speak shows that you have a bias. How do you know she’s lazy? A slob? Nasty? She’s just different just like a tall person or a person with long hair or short hair.
What if I said “Ew, people with bangs are stupid, and disgusting!” That wouldn’t make any sense and your comment makes no sense.
You don’t know what’s healthy, you’re not a doctor. Grow up a little.
ok iv never herd of ‘beth ditto’ so this probably says quite allot about what the media, in general, like to keep the spotlight on and people we are most used to looking at, i.e. thin attractive c. cole. but i think beth is looking pritty good at doing her thing, singing,attracting attention and not shying away from the spot light, that every good prefomer needs that to be a success at least in c.d. selling statistics. weight is only as much of an issue as you let it be, and i think she makes this point pritty clearly.
but this is of corse idealist, we all know (or at least i certainly do now that iv shot up from an 8 to a14) that theres nothing a man likes better than to sit (and have a hopefully interesting conversation) with a girl who has commonly excepted sexual prouess, than an overweight feminist, who stresses her right to be fat- but unlike beth who is talleneted, i am, by my right to be fat un interesting and unsuccessful.
so i conclude that i love to see some one fatter than me beat the norms of day to day society, ahh the joys of celleberty.
p.s she looks great
she is disgusting. she has no sense of hygiene. she doesnt even wear deodorant or shave her pits. i bet none of you could stand to be around her for more than 10 minutes without wanting to puke.
How do you know ANY of this? What idiotic statements.
fuckinwankers what you are!
first of all. i like seeing big sexy women in tigh short clothing, beth aint my cup but shes got the same rights as any woman and if she chooses to try and show that big woman can be sexy then more power to her!
just because you have a damn blog on the world wide fucking web makes you an expert on what men want? then im a fucking NASA scientist because i wrote a paper on space ships in the fourth grade!
think about what your saying.
all types of people are attractive to a group of people, and just because us men who find women who have a larger softer figure more attractive then say kiera knightly or lindsey lohan, that makes us wrong!!!??
FUCK YOU
She’s UNHEALTHY, and that’s the problem. Maybe it isn’t her fault, maybe its a thyroid problem, maybe its genetic. And maybe she’s galvanizing other girls her size and making them less self-conscious. But while I don’t see anything wrong with giving people confidence, its biologically and physiologically irresponsible to pretend there aren’t any consequences. Having a BMI greater than 30 puts you at a ton of health risks – diabetes, heart attack, stroke, early mortality, and on and on … Obviously nobody is going to eat themselves into oblivion just because they want to mimic Ditto, but people who are ALREADY large shouldn’t think its ok to ignore their health just because a few celebrities are glorifying their obesity. Its not fatism, people. Its science.
How do you know she’s unhealthy? She runs around on stage a lot. Being fat does not automatically make someone unhealthy and being thin doesn’t automatically make someone healthy. If you believe it does, you’re quite naive.
BMI was NOT created by a physician, therefore it shouldn’t even be used by the medical world. It doesn’t take into account muscle mass or bone structure. It measures muscle just. like. fat.
You’re wrong. The only person that can say Beth Ditto is unhealthy is her doctor.
Beth Ditto is a wonderful, beautiful, talented, fat woman that deserves to be looked upon as a role-model along with thin women as a type of beauty that girls can aspire to. There is a fat bias in the world that leads to fat people being treated differently even when it comes to health-care and schooling. It’s WRONG! Stop furthering the pain and suffering of people and learn to accept and love people. It’s not anyone’s business what Beth Ditto is health wise.
this makes me so angry.
it doesn’t matter if you think she’s gross! Beth is a BIG sexy girl who can wear whatever the hell she wants.
She’s a great person, it doesn’t matter about her weight.
and so what if she’s Glorifying Obesity, the jerks commenting this are Glorifying Asshole-ness.
fuck it, Beth doesn’t care about you bitches.
Oh my God all these comments xD
First I would like to say: Stop talking about anorexia oder something… you don’t even have an idea what it is about. Just talking trash…
The one who has written this article, didn’t say anything against Beth Ditto as a PERSON but it is about her look. And I agree. She’s fat. And she wears the wrong clothes, definitely! It looks disgusting oh yes…
I like her voice und some of her songs, but she really looks ugly. That’s her business of course, but if you show yourself in public this way you don’t have to wonder that people talk about it.
Think about Nicole Richie, when she was that scary thin girl. Yes, that was also scary and maybe ugly. And people talked A LOT about it. She appeared in every magazine.
So stop crying here ok…!
A lot of opinions will be heard, a lot of comments will be written. Each person has their own point of view. And each of them, surprisingly has correct bits and pieces. The only case I will agree with on the ‘being fat is not right’ thingy is that since Beth Ditto rocks and is a celeb, many young teens who like her music and follow her and have a serious overweight problem might consider it ‘okay’. I don’t mind if they consider it ok beauty-wise. Beauty is relative. But health? Just think about health. Other than that, Beth should be left alone, I love what she does. But ‘promoting’ fatness is wrong. As well as promoting many other things is wrong. Fat though, it can lead to health problems. I’ve been overweight and I know that. Well I didn’t have any serious conflicts, thankfully, but my little cousin who’s only 10 years old has serious cholesterol and diabetes problems just because of the cheese and choco amounts she consumes. And, by the way, she likes Beth Ditto and when she saw her on MTV she said oh cool, I don’t need to lose weight in that case. Don’t forgert she’s 10. Doctor said she must take care of her diet. Just allow me to say what I said for good. Other than that The Gossip fucking rules. It’s only how people promote certain things that bothers me sometimes, which on the case of Beth I don’t how of how much accurate it is, if she promotes clothing or just her weight. I find her voice awesome though. Don’t know what else I’d add up. That’s pretty much it for now. x
shes grosss yuck
dude, i totally agree with you. (im not trying to put myself down here but) im fat. not as big as beth here but i know im fat. i agree that we (fat ppl) shouldn’t be wearing really tight and tiny clothes! shes Gross!!
i understand women who are trying to promote the “real” look not the sick anorexic body look, but she’s obese! idk if she is, but to me, she’s promoting the obesity. its disgusting!! its horrible. americans should be looking at a healthy way of life, not a disgusting,portly life.
she needs to go on THE BIGGEST LOSER lmao j/k
ok, why is it that large women cant be sexy? i think Beth Ditto is an amazing role model for larger girls because she shows them confidence and that they can be sexy and wear what they want and feel beautiful wearing it. plus, her band is awesome. Beth Ditto is giving a huge “fuck you” to the world by saying “look, im fat and im proud of it, i dont give a fuck what you say because i know im beautiful from the inside out!” that why i respect her to the fullest. and all of you people saying she’s disgusting and ugly just because she’s big, are assholes and shallow.
I soooo agree with you. Making the apology of obesity is like making the apology of anorexia. There’s no difference between both unhealthy eating disorder.
I like to compare this brune singer to another one, andrea corr. She is very slim, skinny, since she was very young. She’s very tin and small, and slim. But not in an unhealthy, anorexic way. And she’s beautiful. Really, between both singer, who would I prefer to look like ? Andrea corr, of corrs ! No really, this is disgusting. Beth ditto is so uncomfortable with her weight that she’s always pretending being okay with it. If it was the case, she wouldn’t felt the need to always show it to the world, it would come naturly, which obviously is not the case. And that’s a shame cos beth really is cute. Why on earth does she think she’s better than normal weight girls cos she’s fat ? Being fat does not make you nicer. It’s unhealthy and that’s all. That doen’t prove anything. I would show respect to her if instead of claiming she’s okay like that, she ‘d admitt it would never be the case and she take her life in her hand for good and decide to loose weight just for her health, it’s not a question of being beautiful or not, that she already is. It’s a question of not showing to fat teenage girls the wrong example, claiming you can feel well like that and later they’ll discover this is not true.
I prefer to take andrea as a model for what is being slim in a healthy way.
I’d prefer to look like that :

Rather than like the horrible picture above.
I rather prefer to look like that :

Definitely better to me.
I rather prefer to look like that :

Who cares if she is hella fat. It is a little gross, considering she is over-the-top-fat and a lesbian. A little creepy
I am what you’d call a ‘big’ girl but I’m also 6 foot tall. I have tried diet after diet. I run, kick box and do my yoga every day but here I am, still heavy…and that’s ok. When it’s not ok is when there are major health concerns and the EMTs have to take a wall out of your house to get you to the ER. I do find it funny tho, the stigma of being fat is worse than that of a girl who is dying because she hasn’t eaten in a month. Anyone remember Marilyn Monroe? She’d be considered plus size today.
Ditto, SHOULD she wear what she does? IMO? No. But let’s be real, main stream doesn’t see her much so no one is going to give a damn about it. Until an article like this comes along and then it inflames everyone. She is either craving attention(any attention, good or bad) or she really thinks she looks good in what she’s wearng. Skinny celebs have fashion consultants…maybe Beth needs to hire one.
damn you’re so right!
i don’t want to listen to her songs because it always reminds me of that horrible discust.
it’s unfortunately the truth: fat isn’t beautiful! get slim, sporty and healthy, couchpotatoe!
I see alot of people feel threatened by Beth Ditto’s confidence. Since Beth doesn’t apologize for who she is (fat AND lesbian? – oh my god! call the police!), people find her threatening and want her to hide in the background feeling bad about herself. As for her becoming sporty, have you ever seen Beth on stage? I guess not.
I also find it interesting how folks, including doctors, criticize Beth for promoting obesity. She is constantly criticized for her weight, which is in fact unhealthy, yet people have no problem worshiping celebrities who are publicly alcoholic, smoke cigarettes, use drugs, party and abuse their bodies, etc. But because Beth’s weight can’t be hidden like a smoking or drug habit, she’s an easy target.
I’m sure most of you preachers of health here probably drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and use drugs, oh holy & healthier-than-thou! Hypocrites.
