Patricia Arquette

Patricia Arquette is one of the examples that body shaming should not curtail everyone’s career. Her early experience with body shaming was when she was told that she should get her teeth fixed but she declined. Another incident was on her television series known as Medium when she was told to reduce weight in order to fit her role as Allison DuBois on the said television show. Not only that, she was told that her facial appearance should look like she was just 30 years old but still, credits to her bold dedication to that role no matter what people say about her.

In 2019, seven years after her show Medium came to an end, she gained weight of 40 pounds for her role in Showtime’s television series entitled Escape at Dannemora along with Eric Lange who also happens to gain 40 pounds like her. This shows how committed she is to the role she is playing. We’re glad that she does not let body-shamers define her weight.
