Howard Stern: ‘Enormous’ Sidibe will never work again


In a shocking turn of events, Howard Stern has said something sort of racist, undeniably misogynistic and totally dick.

Stern, not known for his charitable feelings toward the fairer sex, blasted the praise heaped upon breakout actress Gabourey Sidibe on his show yesterday. For lack of a better term, Stern seems to think that Sidibe is a bit of a one trick pony, and won’t work again due to being “the size of a planet” and, ostensibly, “black.” (Someone should tell this year’s fat black Oscar winner Mo’Nique that fat black women don’t have futures in entertainment because she’s probably under the opposite impression, having won an Academy Award and all.)

Stern railed:

“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” he said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

Well, Howard, considering there are women in our society who are fat, black or both, perhaps she could portray one on the stage or screen? Yes, Sidibe doesn’t have the marketability of say, Jessica Alba, but “never going to have another shot” is a bit dramatic, isn’t it? Howard wasn’t the only Sidibe detractor though- formerly fat, still black Robin Quivers seemed to agree with Stern:

“And Oprah’s lying and saying you’re going to have a brilliant career,” said Robin.

“Oprah’s another liar, a filthy liar,” said Stern. “She’s telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.”

Indeed! Where would Oprah get the preposterous notion that a black woman of size could ever become successful? That’s like saying a fat black lady could become the richest woman in our society, wield enormous influence over American women and cause books to sell out like they have crack cocaine embedded in the pages. Silly Oprah. What redonkulous claim will she make next, that a fat black woman could get a job as a sidekick to a cranky, misogynistic, plastic obsessed radio host with a giant ego? People are so delusional.

Unemployable Gabby is set to appear in “Yelling to the Sky” and a new Showtime series, “The C Word.”

    Stern’s right. She has a massive health problem and everyone wants to pretend it’s ok. It’s not. And she’ll eventually have diabetes and a whole slew of health problems to show for it.

    Also, you’re kind of a moron because you can’t see the real critique there. He’s criticizing Hollywood, who is totally image and thin obsessed, that they are celebrating this obese kid, and acting like she’ll be a major box office star for decades to come. We all know the fact is it will be very difficult for her to find work as (unfair as it may be) her weight will exclude her from consideration from many parts. That’s not Howard’s rule, that’s Hollywood’s.

    How dare you Howard Stern and Robin think you have the right to criticize another human being in such a demeaning way. Sure she has some flaws but just the fact that she was a ordinary person off the street that gao a wonderful role in a great movie deserves all her accolades and i applaud her. . Robin you being a african american ( Once a little obese yourself ) can sit in judgement of someone of your own race. You 2 are both rude and insulting and need to take a look at yourselves. I hope and pray noone in your family ever has to be judged by people like you and then you will know how it feels. Payback is a B—ch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    she is going to die of health problems very soon, it’s just reality. what’s mean is her doing that to herself.
