KARL LARGERFELD Talks About “Roundish” ADELE!
Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld has defended his comments about Adele‘s weight, in when he previously called her “a little too fat” but insisted she needed to lose weight because she was ”a little roundish”!
Largerfeld claims this was taken out of context, and speaking on CNN‘s ‘Fashion: Backstage Pass‘, he said:
“I never said that she was fat, I said that she was a little roundish. A little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl, after that she lost eight kilo [17.6 pounds], so I think the message was not that bad.”
Following his apparently over-critical comments last year, Adele insisted she had never aspired to be stick-thin.
She said:
“I’d lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you’re supposed to be 40 pounds lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career.
“Even when I was signing [a contract], most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say [lose weight] to me, they wouldn’t be working with me.”
Good on you, ADELE!
How stupid of him to say that. It’s people like this who make me sick. Adele is a fine figure of a woman, and she doesn’t need to be stick think to demonstrate that she’s beautiful. Poor show on Largerfeld’s side!
