Padma Lakshmi Shuts Down Body-shaming Trolls With Epic Clapback

While cooking up a storm in kitchen tutorial videos, Padma Lakshmi takes aim at the trolls who criticize her anatomy. I have boobs and nipples! At the TIME 100 Gala Wednesday, she spoke exclusively to Page Six. In the same way, every man and woman on earth does. We should be a little more mature about it, the culinary macher said, and also accept that women’s bodies are beautiful and … not totally perfect. A social media user criticized the “Taste the Nation” host’s kitchen attire. Lakshmi slammed a fan earlier this year who took offense to her jokes about her own breasts with her daughter, Krishna, 13.

In the words of one social media user, “There is a time and a place for everything, and when it starts making our daughters uncomfortable because we are being objectified, it’s time to pay attention. The author replied, First of all, it’s a joke. My child doesn’t mind me or my boobs or my posts, she doesn’t see the comments unless I show her since she doesn’t use social media. It’s really not that serious, she said. In addition to Lakshmi, a host of celebrities attended the star-studded gala, such as Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber, Don Lemon, Kim Kardashian, Mia Farrow, Ali Wong, and Amy Poehler.

Padma Lakshmi Has Responded To Trolls Who Have Criticized The Appearance Of Her In Cooking Videos

Indian American model, TV host, author, and activist Padma Lakshmi didn’t hold back when addressing people who criticized her body online. At the Time 100 Gala, the ‘Top Chef’ star fired back at trolls who mock her anatomy while she demonstrates kitchen techniques. Padma told Page Six on Wednesday, April 26: “I have boobs, I have nipples!” She looked stunning in a flowing dress with a high slit. The same is true for every woman and man on earth. Continuing, the 52-year-old culinary macher stressed the need to be more mature about it. Also, I think we should just accept that women’s bodies are beautiful even if they aren’t impeccable. As a result of her kitchen attire, Padma has been receiving heavy backlash on social media. When she joked around with her daughter Krishna about her own breasts earlier this year, a fan took offense. In my experience as a mother of four daughters, there’s a time and place and if it’s making our children uncomfortable because of our objectification, it’s time to pay attention, one social media user wrote. To that, Padma responded, First of all, it’s a joke. As far as my daughter is concerned, neither she nor I am uncomfortable with my boobs or my posts, nor does she understand the comments unless I show them to her.

During a cooking demonstration in 2020, the ‘Tomatoes for Neela’ author also defended going braless after being criticized for doing so. Some people commented last time that it was immoral not to wear a bra in my own kitchen during quarantine, she captioned a video of herself cooking lasagna on Instagram. The people who wear two will be pleased to know I’m wearing both today) But really, let’s not police women’s bodies in 2020, alright? “Top Chef” judge, who turns 53 this year, told Page Six that she feels great except for the occasional hate. In my 50s, I feel more comfortable with my body than I did in my 20s, despite looking better in my 20s, according to her, since I feel more confident in my 50s. My goal is to show you that you can have a beautiful relationship with your body and sensuality, be a mother, a lover, a friend, and be a multidimensional complex human being. It is possible to have that and be that. At the gala, Lakshmi was joined by a slew of celebrities, including Austin Butler, Kaia Gerber, ex-CNN host Don Lemon, Kim Kardashian, Gayle King, Mia Farrow, Ali Wong, and Amy Poehler.
