Denise Richards: No Fat Talk In Front Of My Girls
Â
Denise Richards refuses to talk about her weight in front of her girls for fear it will set a bad example for them:
"I'll never talk about weight around them," the actress tells Shape magazine in its May issue. "And they'll never hear me say, 'Mommy's feeling fat today.' That kind of attitude just makes young girls grow up to be dissatisfied with their bodies."Instead, Richards says she tries to set an active example for her girls, Sam, 4, and Lola, 2.
"Working out is part of my life, not just an I-have-to-get-ready-for-a-photo-shoot thing," she tells the magazine. "I exercise almost every day. The girls usually play in the workout room with me, so they're learning by example."
However, she has no problems whatsoever warping their psyches by pimping them out on her new reality TV show, using them to get ratings (and ultimately money in her pocket).
While I agree that we should present healthy body images to our daughters, and not constantly talk about how dissatisfied we are with this or that about ourselves, whoring out toddlers for the sole purpose of putting money in your own pocket probably isn't the best thing for them either. After all, these little girls are not of an age where they can consent to ruin their lives on their own. Guess that's where momma has to step in.
Remember...contact E!, tell them how disappointed you are that they are choosing to air this show, and boycott!
