The Spill There’s No Ignoring The Mindy Kaling Body Conversation
On the show today…
The trailer for this season’s three-part Vanderpump Rules reunion has just dropped, and it’s even more chaotic than fans were expecting. Here’s exactly what you need to know.
And this week, Mindy Kaling gave an interview to People magazine, with an accompanying photoshoot, to celebrate her new swimwear line. In the interview, she referenced the changes to her body and her words were immediately met with a flood of comments calling her a liar. Now we need to discuss the unspoken reason why this is making us uncomfortable, the underlying fatphobia at play, and why women like Mindy and Hilary Duff are in an impossible situation.
Plus, it’s Weekend Watch time! This week we have two new movies to recommend to you, starring two of our favourite actresses. A high-stakes action drama and a beautifully told story of resilience.
