Even the pizza deserves an apology…
In a radio interview with conservative talk show host Mike Gallagher, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace was riffing on Little Caesars’ bacon-wrapped crust pizza when Gallagher brought up “fat shaming,” which slid into the issue of the current celebrity fat-shaming victim, following in the footsteps of past targets of weight-related ridicule like Kirstie Alley, Roseanne, Adele, Rosie O’Donnell and Lisa Welchel, pop singer Kelly Clarkson. “Holy cow, did she blow up!” Gallagher said. “She could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while,” replied Wallace. Ethics Foul , and a vile one. Rude, mean, and completely gratuitous, Chris Wallace has no reason to comment on Kelly Clarkson’s appearance. She’s not a supermodel; she’s a singer, and a really good one who has just has a baby. Her weight is none of his business, and for him to pile on what is already an ugly social media and internet gossip game of mocking Kelly’s dress size is using his prominence to endorse the ugly societal obsession with women’s weight that, as he should know, kills people.
He doesn’t just owe Clarkson an apology.
He owes everyone an apology.

Fat prejudice will remain long after all others have been legislated out of existence. Health issues ya know.
Holy cow, did Wallace blow up!
I think that fat shaming is a little bit different than other forms of shaming because a person could come by it genetically, or they could come by it honestly, and it’s hard to tell which sometimes. When something is completely within someone’s control (Like eating 4 Big Macs a day, or having 1,345 facial piercings which includes a coat hanger through the nose) this smacks of societal pressure trying to correct what it sees as deviant behavior. I’m not sure that it becomes ETHICAL, in fact, I don’t think it does…. But I understand why it’s there.
As an aside, is it unethical to shame someone with 1345 facial piercings?
Both Wallace and Gallagher have apologized to Clarkson by the way.
