Gabourey Sidibe Magazine Cover Creates Controversy

Forget her skin color.

Dat bitch is too FAT for a fashion magazine.

Holy mother of God!
Stupid magazines go from one extreme to the other.

LOL looking too light ain't her problem. She looks too overweight.

The time to feature her in a fashion mag would be after she loses a deuce, deuce and a half.

Fat is never beautiful. Only fat people thinks so.

Perhaps most people are too polite to say she is to heavy and it disturbs them.

So they hone in on the magazine's supposed skin lightening.

Im just so glad I did not renew my subscription to ELLE and VOGUE.

If she ever needs surgery some poor doctor will have to cut through a ton of fat - which by the way looks like yellow chicken grease.

Oh and they will need some type of crane to lift her, so the nurses and orderlies don't throw their backs out.

GROSS

Send her to Kenya! Some bushman will pay a lot of goats to get her as his wife.

Doesn't matter what they do to her, she's still a fat pig.

Stop playing race card. It's getting old.

It's not always about race. Photographers always use strong white light for fashion shoots. It's not a secret. Everybody will look lighter in strong white light.

They just have to make everything racial so we will not dare to examine whether they have talent and ability or not. Cuz if we dare to ask, we will be called "racists".

The perfect example is Obama. Look what Obama gets us into.

Obama is doing a great job, considering he is still cleaning up Bush's mess.

At least Democrats care for poor people and the struggling middle classes.

Bush helped only the rich get richer while in office.
Plus he got us into a very expensive war under false pretenses.

How many poor people could have gotten health insurance for what the Iraq war cost America?

dam that girl belongs in gorilas in the midst!!!!married to one she be ugly ugly ugly

Who the hell cares if they lightened her skin or not? Seriously?

I think someone needs to help this poor dumb girl get off her high horse and drop the munchies. You can't even see her freaking eyes for christs sakes.

at least she doesn't look like a pink pig.

Who cares! White people tan to get darker (and no one cares then!), and I'm sure some black people lighten their skin to be lighter... The media makes huge deals out of nothing at all, and i'm so sick of everything being "race" related. "Oh they made her look lighter, they're racists!". Give me a break.

this is a "Butcher's Wife", folks!!

5:27 You are ignorant.

Love her confidence, she always have beautiful smiles.
bravo it is about time to stop discrimination,.

I can't belive grown people can have so much negative and mean comments over another human being, as you are God! for some reason America has always had a problem with stupid issues such races. Quite shocking to think that you can point fingers at arab countries and yet still can not get along in your own country! You are as divided as they arabs are terrorists, from Dublin, Ireland.

A bit harsh 4:16, anyway I don't see anything wrong with her pic, at the end of the day everything God created is good. so if they made her sjin light, did it cause world war 3?. 4:16 about your irish priests who are molesting children? what ahve you done about it. I just saw that on tv last night, i live in dublin and there are more than 7 priests who have been molesting kids, honestly that beats this by far!!

Really, really her cover pic is a problem beacuse?...did it cause us to die or lose our mind. Please this is not a problem, I'm commenting on this because it's a very stupid thing for people to go mad about. What about when they change the real appearnce of celebs to make them look skinny..so perfect and cause girls to have anorexia, now those are magazines I wouldn't buy. Grow up please!

I had no idea she was that black! Her lightened skin colour looks heaps more normal.

she's too big and not that pretty, she should not be on the cover of elle mag. forget her skin color.

@5:27, Obama is NOT helping the struggling middle class, he's wiping it out, by taxing the sh*t out of us to support the lazy, welfare getting pigs of this country. Nov 2012 is coming quick, BYE BYE OBAMA!!!

Has anyone ever saw Beyonce? She likes to look light too unless she is gracing an african american magazine cover then she looks like an ape, funny how that is

you all

have'

to

be

the dumbest people on Planet Earth

SHE IS BLACK AS FCKIN NIGHT , THAT IS NOT LIGHTING, THEY DO THIS TO BLACKS ALL THE TIME. THEY SHOULDNT , BUT THEY DO.


OPEN YOUR FCKIN EYES, YOU ALL MUST HAVE BEEN ON O.J.'S JURY, DUMB AS DIRT!!

They do it because dark is nasty. No one would buy it with some dark arse, nasty, morbidly obese monster on the cover.

All of you that have negative comments to say in regards to her weight should be ashamed of yourselves. I bet that every last one of you who had something to say have a over weight friend or relative. You know what she may not be a size 2 but her heart,love and joy out weighs all of these negative comments. It will also be through love and support that she will get healthier. Also a fashion Mag, is just that a fashion magazine which SHOULD AND DO show the beauty in the clothes in different sizes,race,ethnicity and social class why? because its about fashion.
Deuces!
