All you haters made Samantha Brick cry.

Wah, wah, wah. Put on some shapewear boo, you've got some serious muffintop in your picture and I ain't jealous.

OK. This is just ridiculous.

Why? If I were claiming to be so stunningly beautiful that everyone hates me (and being pretty vile about it) I would make damn sure that I looked as awesome as possible in any published picture of me. I don't think she's ugly but I also don't think her beauty or body is anything to be jealous of. She's an average person, with an average body, and an average face. The picture of her in the purple dress is not the most flattering.

Her immodesty is one thing. But women picking apart other women for their flaws is another thing, even if the woman "asked for it". This woman isn't fat and doesn't need body shapers. I just get angry when I hear women criticizing other women for their bodies (and don't get me started on body shapers either). I thought we were all trying to be above this and trying to be valued for more than our bodies and looks? Sure, this woman is making it about looks, but we aren't doing ourselves any favors by feeding on it and ripping her looks apart.

I just women would stop being so critical of each other. The idea that there is something wrong with this woman's body (who is obviously in very good shape for her age) speaks to a larger problem - that women have a distorted image of "normal".

But who am I to talk about the value of womenn (and women b eing a huge part of the problem)? We've been down this road and I know better

There's nothing wrong with her body and I never said there was. There is something wrong with the belt placement and the undergarments she's wearing making the dress unflattering and making her look lumpy where she probably isn't.

Pfft, WTF-ever. If I'm going to roll out on the Internet putting everybody on blast about how drop-dead gorgeous I am, and how all the men want to hit it, and how all of you ladies are just haters that hate, I'm going to make DAMN sure that my picture reflects that reality. Which means no poorly fitting dress showing a muffin top and limp hair that looks like it's had one too many visits to Barbie's Bleaching Salon. And fugly shoes. At least with that dress. Open toed stilettos. Just saying.

Thanks for putting into words what I meant to say with my "throw on some shapewear". lol

This whole thing makes me LOL, mainly because I don't find her to be exceptionally attractive. Average, I would say. Perhaps its her ego, moreso than her writings, that has people irritated with her.

I almost feel bad for her. It must be pretty sad to see all kindness as just a reaction to your "good looks" - and not to have the half inch of depth it would take to realize that the negativity that's coming your way is because you're an insufferable cow, not because the women in your life are all just jealous of you.

And she really is a bit delusional. It's like some crazy extreme case of reverse dysmorphia.

My favorite part of this story is the fact that the Today Show actually accompanied their story on Brick this morning with a clip from Zoolander. It was so funny I about spit out my coffee.
