Obesity Group Says Jordin “Too Fat” – Bad Example

WOW!!!! I cannot believe what I am hearing! This lady from the National Action Against Obesity says that Jordin Sparks is a bad example and should not have won American Idol because she has “extra meat” on her bones – calls her a vision of “unhealth.” You gotta see it to believe it!

    What?!? Is this a joke? That’s insane! Jordin is not obese. She’s big-boned and she’s a teenager who still has her baby fat. I cannot believe they devoted an entire “news” segment to Jordin’s weight. That is very disturbing. No wonder so many young girls develop low self-esteem and eating disorders. I hope Jordin ignores these people. She is a beautiful girl.

    JordinFan, thanks for all of the information. I can tell that you are very passionate about the issue and maybe your posting will inspire many to take action.

    Oh yeah – If I write to Bill O’Reilly to complain, can I also complain about Bill O’Reilly, lol?

    Also e-mail Bill O Reilly at Fox news at:
    Oreilly@foxnews.com
    to complain

    Oh yeah – I forgot…
    You can bet Geraldo Rivera at Fox News would love to defend Jordin on this issue:

    TO THOSE REALLY ANGRY ABOUT THIS STUPID ATTACK on lovely Jordin Sparks…
    … and want to do something TANGIBLE about it – do the following:

    Rather than vent to deaf ears on this thread – do what I did… and WRITE ( and CC ) your complaint to the following Fox News e-mail addresses.

    It was disgusting that this MeMe Roth woman AND Fox News’ Neil Cavuto had this segment on TV in the first place… and caused Jordin to UNDESERVEDLY be the “poster child” for “obesity”.

    She is a talented, beautiful girl… and it is shameful Fox News’ Neil Cavuto put this irresponsible MeMe Roth woman on the air…
    .. to probably set Jordin on the path to being on the cover of the National Enquirer one day for bingeing and purging.

    IF YOU WANT TO DO SOME REAL GOOD – Embarass Cavuto and his producers by e-mailing him… and his Fox News associates
    …. about your displeasure at his airing such a gossipy, ridiculous segment. Below are the e-mails for ALL associated with American Idol publicity and Fox News.

    Writing here on this thread does no good… e-mailing Fox will send a message loud and clear.

    Neil Cavuto – Cavuto@foxnews.com

    American Idol Publicity – idolpr@fox.com
    idol.web@fox.com

    Cavuto’s Fox News associates’ e-mails are:

    O’Reilly@foxnews.com
    YourComments@foxnews.com
    Friends@foxnews.com
    Hannity@foxnews.com
    Colmes@foxnews.com
    Studiob@foxnews.com
    Bigstory@ureport.foxnews.com

    AND FINALLY – to e-mail the MeMe Roth woman herself – her personal e-mail is:
    MemeRoth@earthlink.net

    Her organization is:
    info@actionagainstobesity.com

    If you REALLY want to make someone take responsibility for starting this stupid, cruel discourse against a 17-year old young girl…. who did NOTHING to the haters on this thread…
    WRITE an e-mail to Cavuto… and Ms. MeMe Roth… and CC it to ALL the Fox News people above.

    NOW THAT’s something worth writing about…. and I work in TV – Rest assured – Cavuto will hear about airing this stupid segment from his bosses AND American Idol too.

    God bless you jordin Sparks… stay strong. These nasty haters on this thread are – for the most part – either overtly skinny self-absorbed narcissists… or idiots with a low IQ who can’t get a girl – big or skinny… or just plain evil folks with a vocabulary that’s limited to four-letter vulgarities.

    to all who wite nasty things about Jordin Sparks weight… she’ll never know YOU… in fact, no one beyond this website will ever know of you…
    … so enjoy your little moment of fame on this obscure website… writing your hateful crap.

    That;s about as close to any fame and fortune you’ll ever get.

    Jordin Sparks meantime… can’t even see you. You’re nothing to her.. while she gets much deserved fame.

    Good for her !

    LOL…funny!
    That lady was just plain ignorant. She has got some nerve…and don’t let her get one pound over weight cause I’m gonna pound her with “fat chick” emails…you know, with subject lines like: “Oh you fat COW” and have the audio from Hell’s Kitchen when he called that girl a fat cow….omg that was soooo funny!!!!

    Seriously, Jason – it’s so easy to pick on what we can see but there’s lots of “uglies” that we can hide. I know this lady wouldn’t want us digging around in her closet!

    LOL, A’kyra – I had forgotten that but you are right. There’s just no pleasing everyone. By the way, do you read encyclopedias in your spare time because your memory scares me. I’ve got a great memory but you are a close second, lol. *wink*

  8. By Jason

    I think Jordin is a beautiful girl. Great personality, amazing smile and an uplifting spirit. I say we look up this lady and see what problems of hers we can point out to the public.

    [...] lady sings” — Neal finds a group called National Action Against Obesity to claim that Jordin Sparks is fat and that fatties shouldn’t win singing contests. Maybe they’re part of the pro-ana [...]

  11. By Lauren

    That’s just crazy! Whatever Jordin’s eating and whatever her heath is like is HER business. That woman did not need to attack her like that.

  12. By Lauren

    Ouch. Whatever Jordin’s lifestyle is and whatever she eats is her business. She didn’t sign up for Health Idol. That woman did not need to attack Jordin like that. If I were Jordin I’d be pretty upset.

  13. By A'kyra

    Jordin is not even thinking about that comment. When she was intervied on Extra, the girl asked her if she heard about it and how she felt about the comment and Jordin was like oh please I’m not even thinking about that matter fact I just ate a taco and so what? So at least it is not affecting her. People always want to find SOMETHING to mess with anybody about. It’s sad but what can we do?! Remember when Simon said something to Mandisa about her weight and that ruffled the feathers of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA)…so no matter what somebody is going to complain about something.
    TallFreak you are absolutely right and Jeanne you said the same exact thing I said when I first heard the comment. She is only 17…she has time!!! People need to stop hatin and get a life!

  14. By Lauren

    That is just plain ridiculous! Whatever Jordin’s health is like and what she eats is her business . That woman did not need to come out and attack Jordin like that. Ouch.

  15. By Jeanne

    I mean, yeah, I understand that we need to keep an eye on obesity and try our best to promote healthy living and all but my gawd!

    Jordin is 17 years old. Yes, she is a bit of a chubster but there’s two things: like Gerri said, her mom is hefty AND let me add that her father is a retired NFL footbal player!!!!! Has no one seen how tall Jordin is? She is never going to look skinny. NEVER!!!

    Plus, she’s just a baby. Some people find that the weight melts off them as they begin their adult life – I’ve seen it with friends and even my older sister. WHATEVER!!!

  16. By Shannon

    If Jordan drops 40 lb.s she’d die! What a stark raving lunatic… Go eat some beef ya crazy loon!

  17. By TallFreak

    This is ridiculous! Jordin is beautiful! When she sees Jordin, she said she sees diabetes and heart disease? So when she sees gays does she see AIDS or when she sees blacks, does she see sickle cell disease? She’s a nutcase.

  18. By Gerri G

    Jordan, looked thinner the other night. However, her mother did look a little hefty as well, so maybe its in the genes. To me she is a big beautiful doll
