15 Thick Celeb Women Who Got Their Revenge

You know what they say, "The thicker the berry, the sweeter the juice." Or wait… is it, "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice"? Hmm, either way, it's all good! Times have changed, the tables have turned and now, thick is the new thin. Celebs such as the Kardashians, Nicki Minaj, Coco and Amber Rose have made being thick figures so appealing and appetizing that nowadays every girl with a smartphone aspires to have a substantial amount of 'junk in their trunk'. Some women are even going as far as illegally injecting stuff into their buttocks in order to enhance their derriere size; a lot have even sadly lost their life as a result of it.

You're asking, "Is it that for real?" - yeah, apparently so. Basically these days: If it ain't thick, it ain't it. However, in recent past, society didn't embrace heavier set women with open arms as it does now. Before, plus-sized women (aka BBW's - "Big Beautiful Women") were looked down upon and shamed for having a good deal of meat on their bones. People pointed fingers, teased and even bullied bigger girls. Well, some of those "bigger" girls grew up… straight BLEW up… got rich and famous and can now hook YOU up! If success is the best revenge, than the following 15 ladies surely got theirs and then some.

15 Kate Upton

Supermodel, Kate Upton, graces the walls of many men around the globe. Of course she does - she's ridiculously hot! According to Upton though, observers didn't find her so appealing at first. "I got my first cover when I was 19,” the model said. "After my first cover, [critics] were discussing whether I was fat or not. I had this huge moment in my career and they were tearing it apart!" They say, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger", and that's EXACTLY what the criticism about her body did. "If you don't have haters, then you're probably not successful. They lashed out on me because they felt insecure about themselves,” Upton expressed. "I realize that my confidence that I had in my body was actually meant to inspire women to love themselves for all their different flaws." That's right… and now, Upton is potentially Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue's most successful cover model ever!

14 Gabourey Sidibe

Actress, Gabourey Sidibe, has had a lifelong battle with weight-shaming bullies. "Junior high school is a battlefield", Sidibe said. "Junior high school sucked for me. High school sucked for me. I didn't get good with myself until I was like, 25 years old." Since her acting debut, Sidibe has dropped a substantial amount of weight (as seen in the above image); however, she says inner-confidence can only truly come from within. "The second you decide to feel great about yourself is when you feel great. It's not the fame. It's not money - it can't come from some outside source. Really sit with yourself no matter what cage you are in. You have to figure out what about yourself you love", says Sidibe. As the lead actor in an Academy Award winning movie (Precious) and now with a reoccurring role on Fox's #1 television show (Empire), Sidibe is the one having the last laugh - all the way to the bank!

13 Kelly Clarkson

Fox News host Chris Wallace and Mike Gallagher, had several objectionable things to say about Kelly Clarkson's body during a past episode of the Mike Gallagher Show. "That's the new phrase now. Fat shaming. Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson? Holy cow, did she blow up!" Gallagher said. Wallace added: "She could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while." Others, have too, poked fun at Clarkson's weight. "Kelly Clarkson is now a chunky monkey, if we're putting it kindly," British journalist Katie Hopkins told Entertainment Tonight. "She does look like she's eaten her backup singers… That's not baby weight, that's carrot cake." As a result of the flak, Clarkson got rid of some of her excess baby fat; though, she's still on the plus-size of things and all good with it. "We are who we are", the singer told Ellen DeGeneres. With a net worth of $29 million, yeah, we're darn tootin' Clarkson is all good with it!

12 Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah, is the epitome of female self-empowerment and self-assurance. Latifah was born a big girl naturally, and, predictably, was teased early by her peers. "I was bullied a bit as a kid," Latifah stated in an interview. "They used to talk about my breasts being big; and later I found having big breasts was a really good thing, and people were paying for this." Ain't that the truth! Latifah took her over-sized bosoms and went on to become one of the most successful female musicians/actresses in entertainment history. She's sold nearly 2 million records worldwide, has a classic TV sitcom (Living Single) under her belt, has starred in numerous blockbusters (e.g. Bringing Down The House, Set It Off) and is currently starring on Lee Daniel's hit TV series, Star. Oh, and she's also worth about $60 million.

11 Melissa McCarthy

Mike & Molly co-star, Melissa McCarthy, knows a thing or two about being heckled. "I think everybody has had to deal with it [being bullied] to some degree or another", McCarthy explained. "Mine wasn't physical, but I think everyone's had an experience involving a group that seems cooler and makes you feel like you're less than you are." Well - it's not hard to tell, who's the cool one nowadays! McCarthy is now one of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars. Feature films such as The Boss, Ghostbusters, Spy, Bridesmaids (in which she was nominated for an Academy Award) and Identity Thief represent just a slice of McCarthy's monolithic pie. With a net worth of $20 million, her former hecklers can huddle up and commence to giggling about that.

10 Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence had it bad growing up due to her heftiness. “I changed schools a lot when I was in elementary school because some girls were mean”, Lawrence admitted. She even recalls how in middle school, a girl gave her invitations to a birthday party to hand out to other students - yet, the girl didn't invite Lawrence! “But that was fine”, the actress retorted. “I just hocked a loogie on them and threw them in the trash can.” Even when Lawrence became an adult, she still couldn't shake off the bias that comes along with being a thick girl. "In Hollywood, I'm obese. I'm considered a fat actress,", she once said. Nonetheless - that still didn't stop Lawrence from collecting an Oscar for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, getting a glamorous ad campaign with Dior and tucking two mega-franchises under her belt (The Hunger Games and X-Men). You GO girl!

9 Oprah Winfrey

Come on, you've seen the comedy stand-ups and skits… everyone done bashed on Oprah Winfrey's weight. From Kim Wayans to Chris Rock to Kathy Griffin - just about every comedian has slid in an Oprah Winfrey weight joke at one point or another during their career. One minute Oprah's fat, the next minute she's Al Sharpton (skinny Al that is). From day one, Winfrey has always been the subject of ridicule and discrimination attributable to her plumpness. They said she wouldn't make it as a talk show host because she was thickset - they passed over or were reluctant to cast her for certain movie parts due to her sizable frame - yet, she's a 2-time Academy Award nominated actress and hands down thee most successful talk show host (male or female) ever! Oh and we forgot - Winfrey's the 2nd richest black woman in the world too, with a net worth of $3 billion.

8 Demi Lovato

American singer/songwriter/actress, Demi Lovato, has 59.1m followers on Instagram for good reasoning - she's all that and a bag of chips! Speaking of chips, in Lovato's younger years, she was heavily teased for being a bit on the chunky side. "I was bullied for being fat", the singer spoke to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts. The bullying led to Lovato suffering from bulimia throughout her teenage years. "At my worst, I was doing it [vomiting] 5 times a day. I threw up so hard and so much, it was just blood in the toilet", said Lovato. Now approaching 25 years of age, the Camp Rock star is over her malady and looking/feeling better than ever! We're sure having a net worth of $33 million doesn't hurt either.

7 Jennifer Lopez

When the President of the United States, Donald Trump, says: "Kim K. and J.Lo's Butts Are 'Absolutely' Too Big" - that's when you know you are dragging a lot of wagon! Trump made the statement back in 2014, though, he's not the only one that felt that way about Jennifer Lopez's cakes. Back in 2011, Lopez actually fired her manager after he said she was fat. "I was just so infuriated that somebody said you couldn't have a little extra meat on you -  because I was by no means fat!" Lopez stated about her former manager. "That was so mean and closed-minded. I was like: 'No, this is who I am.'" Well, we'll tell you one thing - P. Diddy, Ben Affleck, Alex Rodriguez, Marc Anthony, Bradley Cooper nor Drake have a problem with the Jenny from the Block's massive badonkadonk. Throw in a net worth of $360 million, and we'll say J.Lo's thick tuckus has won the battle AND the war.

6 Beyoncé

"I don't think you're ready for this jelly, I don't think you're ready for this jelly; I don't think you're ready for this - cause my body's too bootylicious for ya babe!" - we don't think Beyoncé could of worded it any better. Destiny's Child's 2001 hit song “Bootylicious” celebrated the voluptuous woman. The song's title eventually ended up in the Oxford English Dictionary thanks to it's immense popularity. In the beginning of Beyoncé's illustrious career, however, she received much backlash in regards to her stomach pudginess and fanny proportion. That didn't stop the singer turned actress from transforming into Queen Bey and becoming half of music's first billionaire couple.

5 Kim Kardashian

Good lawd have mercy - Kim K knows she is smoking! Okay sorry, drifted off for a second; back to it. Most of her life, to the present day even, reality TV star Kim Kardashian has taken serious blows in the media in reference to her bustiness. Naysayers have gone as far as saying Kim has a huge plastic caboose on top of chickens' legs, fat rolls and even cellulite. No one probably gets 'fat shamed' as much and as bad as Kimmy K. The tabloids and social media always have unpleasant things to say about Kim's physique. How does Kim strike back at her faters (fans + haters) though? She remains in a happy marriage with one of the world's biggest music producers, keeps building her everlasting empire and continues to stack that money up to the moon (her net worth is an estimated $150 million). Bye Felicia!

4 Rihanna

About a month ago, Chris 'Spags' Spagnuolo (a writer at Barstool Sports) wrote a piece in which he criticized Rihanna for possibly gaining weight. He estimated that she weighs a little under 200 lbs. and was concerned that other 'hot girls' would follow her lead and look like they're wearing 'sumo suits'. Whoa! After the story was shared on Twitter, it went viral and caused some serious controversy, which resulted in Spagnuolo being suspended from blogging on the website indefinitely. Nothing new to Rihanna though - for most of her life, her full figure has been under scrutiny. "I got teased my entire school life. What they were picking on I don't even understand", RiRi noted. Well, joke's on them… for Rihanna is #8 on the list of all time best-selling music artists (with 230 million records sold) and she loftily boasts a net worth of $230 million.

3 Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian revealed she was bullied her whole life; claiming she was often called the "fat" Kardashian sister. Khloe K said she was tormented for years for being 'ugly ' and 'obese'. "Having someone in your class call you fat, ugly, too tall and so on, you start to think all those things about yourself. And if you're like me, those words are played on repeat inside your head", Khloe previously stated in an interview. "I've been compared to my sisters since the day I was born. I've always struggled with my weight. No matter what, you can always work out of it, you can always move past it." She ain't lying… have you seen Khloe's figure lately? View the above image and below gif if you haven't… good God almighty! Shows if you just put your mind to it, anyone can land that revenge body.

2 Adele

Due to her natural stoutness, Adele was ruled out by most from the get-go. When record labels first heard Adele's voice, they were floored! However, once they saw how she looked, the majority of them opted to pass on her. Adele has stated that she rarely thinks about her body image and feels no pressure to be a “skinny-mini” or wear revealing, hyper-sexual clothing (which is the customary image of female major recording artists). Adele stuck to her guns, signed a deal with XL Recordings in 2006 and has since become the biggest Soul/Pop singer in the world. She is the recipient of 15 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award. To add insult to injury, Adele too has a staggering net worth of $155 million. If revenge is a dish best served cold - well, than Adele served hers frozen stiff!

1 Jessica Simpson

Weight Watchers did not pick Jessica Simpson as their spokeswoman just because; they chose her because of her glowing personality and picturesque exterior. Simpson gives profound meaning to the phrase "thick and beautiful". However, when Simpson was a kid, her thickness was not so welcomed by her pupils. "I had girls egging my home, writing curse words on the sidewalk in paint - just saying really nasty things about me", Simpson stated. Today, the singer actually credits her ill-fated youthful experiences with helping her as a high profile celebrity by learning how to deal with constant scrutiny from the media. "I grew up in that fishbowl of always being judged and watched. I really do believe that was God preparing me for the life I'm living now." Yeah, the rich super fabulous life you're living now!
