Daily Mail fat shames Joe McElderry, he responds with hot new selfie
When the Daily Mail tried to fat shame gay UK X Factor winner Joe McElderry, he found the perfect way to respond.
Mail Online, the most read online English-language newspaper in the world, said McElderry now ‘sported a fuller frame’.
They illustrated their story with a picture of him from an unflattering angle, contrasting it with the ‘fresh faced 18-year-old’ who won X Factor in 2009.
‘His face had also filled out more from his skinny, boyish days on X Factor,’ Mail Online added.
The Mail Online’s readers backed McElderry.
One commented under the article: ‘What a ridiculous headline… Using a photo with an unflattering angle to suggest he’s got a “fuller figure”, not to mention you are comparing him to photos of when he won the X Factor six years ago when he was 17 or 18!’
But the best reply of all came from McElderry, posting this selfie on Instagram with the comment: ‘Just took my full figured little ass to the gym and thought I take a little pic. #dailymail #fail’
And his friends and fans agree.
One commented: ‘In my opinion it is not even necessary to prove anything. But as long as you got it, flaunt it!’
