Shonda Rhimes Hated The Attention She Got After Losing Weight
Anyone who’s lost a significant amount of weight knows just how many unwarranted compliments weight loss can bring from friends and strangers, alike. And Shonda Rhimes, who has lost a fair amount of weight over the last few years, knows these comments all too well.
In the latest edition of her Shondaland newsletter, the Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy showrunner talks about how she felt after a purely physical change sparked a sudden increased number of attention from everyone around her.
“Women I barely knew gushed. And I entail GUSHED. Like I was holding-a-new-baby-gushed. Merely there was no new baby. It was just me. In a dress. With makeup on and my hair all did, yes. But…still the same me, ” Rhimes shared, per EW . “And humen? They spoke to me. THEY SPOKE TO ME. Like stood still and have all along been conversations with me about things. It was disconcerting.”
But even more disconcerting, according to Rhimes, was that all these people “suddenly felt totally comfortable” talking to her about her body. They told her she seemed pretty or “so hot now.” They said they were proud of her and told her she looked amazing.
