WE'RE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE PRI <3

While it looks like Priyanka Chopra Jonas just can’t stay away from hot water, we are completely with her on this one!


In a recent interview, the Dostana actress and mom of Malti-Marie spoke up about the prejudice she’s been facing in Hollywood when it comes to stylists and fashion.
 During a panel discussion at the SXSW Festival yesterday she spoke about how A-List styles such as her now retired stylist Law Roach takes jabs at her saying she’s not “sample size” and fussing about how they have to go out of their way to accommodate her and her body when it comes to styling her for events.


“Someone told me yesterday that I wasn’t sample-sized…I was hurt and I discussed it with my family, and I cried to my husband [Nick Jonas], and my team, and I felt really bad about the fact that I’m not sample size, and that’s a problem, apparently, and most of us are not, and sample size is size 2,”


Hollywood has historically been known for size exclusivity and only catering to size 2 and below and not really creating a safe space (or any space at all) for anyone else, especially plus sized people. While Priyanka isn’t close to plus size the Bollywood turn Hollywood actress reveals that she still gets fat-shamed for not being the cookie cutter.

 

In response to the allegations Law Roach who was also Zendaya’a stylist made the statement: “It was a little bit hurtful in a way that it ended up in the press, you know? Because that wasn’t the real conversation.  I’ve never had that conversation with her, ever.” He then implied that it was her “gatekeepers, how they presented what I said to her to make her feel that way. And if that made her feel bad, that wasn’t — it was taken out of context.”


He also added that he finds what Priyanka says ridiculous and delusional  “I think sometimes what it is with them is that they have an agenda and I need to be the bad guy because I’m the one who’s dealing with the clothes and the body. Like, I need to be the one who says, you know — and I’m not talking about her. I’m just talking about in general, like, I need to be the one to say, “Oh, you know, be careful because, you know, the pictures aren’t as beautiful because you coming across, you know, a little thicker than you used to be.”


He added another point to about being hurt by Priyanka’s words saying he adores her as a person
“really surprised that — I love Priyanka. When you are around her, there’s only so many women in this industry that have that thing. I’m constantly inspired by women, and she has this thing that’s very Old Hollywood, Sophia Loren — it drives me crazy. She has a twinkle, she has a wiggle, and I love her, like, even as a person.”
