Our Lady J Calls Out Media for Body-Shaming at Golden Globes

Pose writer/producer Our Lady J has called out media outlets for body shaming her and other women at the Golden Globes, writes the Hollywood Reporter.

The writer/producer took aim at the LA Times after they published a best and worst dressed of the night, labelling her as one of the worst.

“Our Lady J is wearing one of our least favourite looks — a busy mermaid gown — at the 76th Golden Globes in Beverly Hills. A simpler green gown would have worked marvellously,” they wrote.

“Thank you @latimes for body-shaming me on a night celebrating the talents of my MIND, not my BODY,” Our Lady J responded in the comments.

“It’s not my first time on a worst-dressed list, so I’m not at home crying. But I am angry that you don’t understand the fact that top designers don’t make clothes for my body.

“I am a 6’2” trans woman who weighs a healthy 225 lbs. This was one of 8 gowns in the entirety of Los Angeles that fit my body, and I chose it because it fit my body.

“I think it’s beautiful, but yes, I would love to have the option to wear the dresses that are on your ‘best’ list.

“When you judge women for what they’re wearing, you’re not only judging the fabric on their bodies — you are judging their actual bodies, the medical history of their bodies, and the emotional struggle they have with their bodies because of articles like this.”
