Ruth Moschner and Sally stand against body-shaming after Kate Winslet BAFTA attack

TV host Ruth Moschner has spoken out against body-shaming after a user criticised Kate Winslet’s appearance at the 2023 BAFTA TV Awards. The comment, which called the actress 'fat', prompted Moschner to address the wider issue of online hate targeting women’s bodies.

Sally, another Instagram user, also shared her own experiences of facing public criticism over her looks and clothing choices. The incident began when an Instagram user posted a comment about Kate Winslet at the BAFTAs. The remark, reading ‘OMG how fat she is’, was later highlighted by Moschner in her own Instagram story.

Moschner used the moment to condemn body-shaming, declaring her determination to challenge such hate. She argued that women should never face judgment for their appearance or clothing.

Sally, who has also been targeted for her style, echoed this sentiment. She stressed that women deserve the freedom to dress as they choose—without fear of criticism or unsolicited opinions. The exchange has drawn attention to the ongoing problem of online body-shaming. Moschner’s public stance and Sally’s shared experiences highlight how such comments affect women in the public eye. Both have called for greater respect and less scrutiny over personal appearance.
