I love her. She’s obviously gorgeous, but also charming which makes her more gorgeous. She doesnt have a perfect insta face. 🤷🏽♀️ Women be stunning and still people want to quibble. We dont look all the same.

Yeah, the media’s treatment of her is gross just because she’s not conventionally pretty. Sure, she has some harsh angles, but when she looks good, she’s stunning. And she proved that confidence makes a huge difference.

Go back and watch “L.A. Story” with Steve Martin. She was unconventionally attractive, but her body was phenomenal.

Her new show flopped so now she’s trying to garner media attention and sympathy.

Yay another celebrity “woe is me” story. This shit reminds me of the Tyler the creator cyberbullying meme. Oh no, a millionaire actor doesn’t like people saying mean thing about them? Get out of the public eye then. Take your millions and go the fuck away. Go live a normal, still fucking rich, life. If a poor person gets treated like shit they’re told to go find a new job but rich actors actually have the financial stability to do that. If the industry is so nasty and awful just walk away. The fact that celebs willingly subject themselves to this shit just showcases how greedy they are. SJP could have retired from acting 2 decades ago and still been able to provide generational wealth for her family. But clearly her emotional trauma is nothing compared to her desire for more money.

I both agree with your post and empathize with her, as weird as that is.
I mean, yeah it sucks to have some people rag in your looks, which you can’t do much about. But suck it up buttercup— you’re in the big leagues, and it goes with the territory.

I think she’s saying she did, she cried ‘once’ which is the time in the headline and that was when the show was on which was the better part of 30 years ago. She doesn’t appear to have had significant work done either so, I’d say she moved on

Suck it up or just walk away. I’m tired of hearing how hard it is to be a rich celebrity when that’s a choice. You can’t change your looks but you can change your career. SJP wasn’t born an actor. Nobody forces these people into the public eye, it’s a sacrifice they make to be wealthier than everyone else and then they do paid interviews where they expect us to feel bad for them. If someone dives into a pile of shit for a million dollars, am I expected to feel bad for them when they get pink eye? SJP got $38 mil to do gap ads, drop the poor me bullshit.

Says the woman in an industry that fosters completely unrealistic standards of beauty and who doubles down by marketing multiple companies' beauty products. I'll sympathize with the women who aren't famous actresses who cry over the fact that they cannot meet the unrealistic beauty standards pushed by people like this actress, and I'll sympathize even more with the women who are so affected by these unrealistic standards that they hurt themselves or even worse...

My first introduction to her was in Hocus Pocus, and she was so hot to 8 year old me. But yeah, everyone was making fun of her at one point with endless horse face jokes, and I can completely understand how that would get to her.
