Kate Winslet Cries as She Recalls Confronting Press Over ‘Horrific’ Body Shaming and ‘Harassment’; She ‘Let Them Have It’ and Said: ‘I Hope This Haunts You’
Kate Winslet broke down in tears during a "60 Minutes" interview while remembering the time she stood up to body-shaming press.
Kate Winslet fought through tears during an interview with “60 Minutes” while remembering a time when she stood up to the press for bullying her over her weight following the success of “Titanic.” The Oscar winner has been vocal in the past about the body shaming she endured after James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster turned her into a global movie star. During her “60 Minutes” interview, a clip from “E!” was played in which the on-air host said Winslet looked “a little melted and poured into” a dress she wore during “Titanic’s” awards season run.
