Or Just Stop Talking

jalbaukcosmo.jpg

In case you had any question that Jessica Alba is a miserable shrew, please note what she told the UK version of Cosmopolitan when asked about her pregnancy body:

I never felt less sexy. I mean, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world and my cravings weren’t so bad — I craved citrus fruits, like lemons, oranges and grapefruit. But I wanted to get rid of all the weight.

And remember: She wants to be taken seriously as an actress — not just known for her body.

    Wow. What a truly miserable person. I feel bad for her baby. She didn't even gain much weight… I know women who absolutely balloon and they still have that glow. I think Jessica is still under the belief she is hot stuff…

    Is it weird that I felt sexier when I was fat? I miss it. (Don't miss all of the beatings from my parents for it, though.)

    I say, good for Jessica Alba for saying what lots of mothers would never dare say for fear of unfairly being labeled a "miserable shrew." My younger child is 9 months old, and I'm still trying to take off the weight. I hate not fitting into my clothes, I hate feeling borderline "fat", though I know in my head that I'm far from it and my husband reminds me of this every day. Some women don't mind "pregnant body", but if I had money and time for a personal trainer and prepared food, I'd feel much better about my body. And if you think that this means that I love my sons any less than if I loved being fat, screw you.

    Also, please note that she said that she "wouldn't have changed it for the world." Give the girl a break. (And no, I don't know why today I'm stuck defending the Jessicas.)

    She is a "miserable shew" because it is vain that she was so bothered by the weight gain. She just created a human. It's pathetic to be so preoccupied with being skinny.

    And she equated being heavier with being less sexy. I think she's setting a bad example.

    Is the person writing this post every been pregnant? I have (twice), it is an amazing time and a miracle but you don't necessarily feel your best! 30 plus pounds and your feet not fitting into shoes can me you feel unsexy! I will most likely have another baby and happily gain the weight, but I will too be happy to shed it…Give mom's a break! Just a question…sites like this critique women's weight and then post comments like this..Isn't gossip sites and media fueling the insecurities women have in the first place???

    And I think she's setting a GOOD example. Maybe all the little teenage whores who read Seventeen will think twice about how cool it is to be pregnant. And I seriously can't believe I'm defending this twat, either.

    No. 11 Kitchy says:

    I agree that she should be praised for having the guts to say what a lot of pregnant women feel - that it's not sexy. I personally didn't feel that way, but I know plenty of women who did and felt like they were somehow inferior for it. And were afraid to say it to most people because of this exact reaction - just be happy, you created a human!! We should dismiss PPD the same way, why not?

    No. 12 Kate says:

    I think it's a TAD different when you gain 30 pounds from bad diet and lack of exercise, than gaining weight because you are growing a human being. Wouldn't the joy of being pregant kinda overshadow that? Goddamn baby made me feel unsexy! Ugh.

    No. 13 cooter says:

    I would think its more of a bad example to lie and say you feel sexy (when you dont)than just being honest. She never looked like she felt all that great when she was preggers….she looked grumpy & bitchy.

    Wow. Some of you certainly have an overly glamourised and whimsical view of pregnancy. No wonder all these teenage girls think it's the thing to do. (psssttt… Angelina is big, pregnant liar pants.)

    I read her interview in Allure (it's bathroom reading) and she said all she wants is to able to support herself and her family, she doesn't care if she never wins an Oscar, and I thought that was kind of refreshing.
    And I've never been pregnant, but I know my friends who got huge hands and feet and back pain and heartburn and hemorrhoids and morning sickness and weight gain, so I image pregmamcy wouldn't be "sexy" for everyone. I guess I'm one of the few people who doesn't have a problem with Jessica Alba.

    Well said, Kitchy!

    It's ridiculous to expect every woman to feel the same way about pregnancy. That reduces pregnant women to "vessel" status — you don't count, it's all about the baby you're gestating.

    No. 18 YerMom says:

    I have had a baby, and I gained 50 lbs throughout the pregnancy. It was all nice until the baby was born and I was still 50 lbs heavier. It would have been nice to have a personal trainer and chef, not to mention a nanny to help smooth the transition into motherhood. When asked about being pregnant, feeling fat was the last thing on my mind. I didn't feel fat even when I was heavier, because I created a new person. It is a small price to pay. I think that whining to a magazine about being "Fat" is ridiculous, especially when you could be gushing about your two month old daughter. She is a nasty bitch and having a kid has not changed her apparently.

    No. 19 Margret says:

    Honestly, saying she's setting a bad example is ridiculous. Not everyone has the same experience… and for heaven's sake! Her fame is based on her body and she's followed around by paparazzi. If millions of people analyzed you like that, your amazing pregnancy experience might have been awful too.
    PS… I don't think this child was planned either. Give her a break!

    YerMom, if she has a 2-month old, chances are that she's just getting out of the hell that can be ther first several weeks of motherhood. My first 6 weeks were hell with my first — all-night nursing, poop everywhere, jaundice, engorgement, way-too-round body, tired, tired, TIRED. I think that more moms should just be honest about this, too: the first weeks (months, for some) can be HORRIBLE. You may love your child, but it can be a rough transition. Comments like yours make new moms feel that unless their gushing happiness all the time, they're not normal and don't love their kids enough. I was so happy that my friends warned me, "The first weeks can be rough. Just try to get thru them. It's NORMAL."

    By the way, how do any of us know that she is "a miserable shrew", a "nasty bitch", etc.? Does she have a reputation? I know that she speaks her mind plainly a lot, but I don't know anything about her beyond that. Just curious.

    I don't think she's a miserable shrew for saying what she felt. I'm sure that the biological pyrotechnics going on in your body aren't always the most glamorous. She is a miserable shrew, however for so many other reasons.

    I LOVE her! I think she is so cute and sweet. As far as how she felt when she was pregnant I can empathize with her completely. At least she is honest. Jamie Lynn Spears just gave an interview where she said everything was sooo easy. Pregnancy was easy, labor was easy everything was sugar sweet. LIAR!

    Just because she does not suck up to the paparazzi and 'play the game' when they are stalking her, does not mean she's a miserable shrew. One of them 'upskirted' her when she was heavily pregnant and walking along the street! Where is the uproar about that???

    She's awful because she constantly says that it's so hard being pretty and while she says she wants people to respect her for her acting (ha ha ha) and not her body, she sure loves slathering herself in oil from some bikini pictures. Also, she only seems nice to the paps when she has a movie to plug. If your opposed to them, fine, but don't go kissing thier ass wehn you have a crappy movie that you need to sell.

    I can empathize with not exactly loving everything that's going on. You're bloated, you're tender, your big, your nose can spread, and most importantly, your hormone levels are all over the place. Maybe some women feel really sexy, and others don't. I don't think that's a big deal. What matters is how you are as a person; she seems insufferable.

    Where does she say it's "all that matters"? She answered a question on how she felt about her pregnant body, and since she didn't love everything about it, she's told to stick to adoption.

    I never felt less sexy than when I was breastfeeding. I leaked everywhere and for a couple years with each, I couldn't walk into a warm room without having a letdown. It doesn't mean I hated the process or needed to stop breastfeeding, it was simply a fact that I felt that way.
