"(About body shaming) I was targeted not only for my height, but also for my weight. The truth is, I never gave a damn. I often talk on the show about children who are bullied. These aren’t stories of young people being beaten up, but of people being told ‘ugly fatso’ by their classmates. I should have killed myself at the age of eight. I was fat and they told me so. In those situations, I’d either laugh it off or tell them to get lost, and life went on. I don’t recall anyone from my generation going to a psychologist for that reason. Either kids these days are more sensitive, or those who insult others have become more of a scoundrel. Interviewer: Is anything allowed when it comes to men? Magalli: It’s clear that calling a woman a fatso is rude, but we’ve reached the point where people get angry even if you tell a woman she’d look good a few sizes smaller or a few kilos heavier. They’ll sue you."
