I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY'S KIM AKA POPRAH WAS SKINNY

Per HER BLOG ON VH1



EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHY I SAID I CHOSE TO BE FAT. NOW YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH MY CHOICE, I THINK IT WAS A STUPID CHOICE NOW LOOKING BACK 7 YEARS FROM WHEN I MADE THE DECISION, BUT NOW I LOVE BEING FATABULOUS AND REPPING FOR THE BIG GIRLS. AND WE GET LOTS OF LOVE FROM MEN WHO LIKE BIG WOMEN & WE ACCOMPLISHE A LOT IN THE WORLD, I.E. QUEEN LATIFAH, MISSY, MONIQUE,& OPRAH! BUT HERES THE REAL...

What you didn't see in the last edit which was edited out as usual, is that Laverne said to the judges that I was not fit to work for Diddy and had allowed myself to get out of shape which showed I had no self control, like my attitude.My response about the true reason I chose to come off my 6 day a week work out, healthy eating lifestyle (see my pics a famousvh1.friends.com & click on my photo) which kept me at a size 5 for over 10 years, was because almost every man I dealt with in the industry whether celeb or exec propositioned me sexually and I was sick of it. I felt maybe Monique, Missy, Oprah, or Queen Latifah did not go through that so I wanted to look like them. I wanted to grow a business more than I wanted to be sexy. By the time I got to about a size 18 (180 lbs.) I was used to being big & my lifestyle and didn't care, it didn't keep men I wanted to date away, and it didn't hurt my career because I own my company and produced my own tv shows and people loved me for me.It was a stupid choice, and not a healthy choice which I do want to get healthier not thin though, but I was young and didn't see another way to remove their personal pursuit from the equation. I've talked to other people who've sabotaged some aspect of their lives to protect themselves and it's not as rare as people think.Like people who are rich and blow or give all their money away because they are tired of the pressure of having it, they figure if they don't have it, noone can ask them for it.Just know that when I make a statement there is always a reason, I keep it real and don't make comments just for drama. I was the realest on the show, tears, anger, frustration, ideas and all, it was real. Sorry to disappoint the haters who want to make it something else.Always Real, smart people can make stupid decisions too, I'm human, sorry!Poprah

Here's the thing. You say that you know the biz well, if so, then you know that sex sells. Whether you own your own business or not. You want to appear to be in control. When you are as overweight as you are, that does not appear to be the case. I am just really surprised that gaining weight for you was a decision that you made. You seem to be not only smart, but calculating. The decision to gain weight does not seem to be such a smart move. Also, Queen, Monique and the rest of them are overweight AND sexy. They are probably propositioned all the time. They are proportionate with their weight. I guess, for you to know all that you know, I feel that you should have known the impact of gaining weight. I, ultimately, feel that that was Diddy's reason for dismissing you from the show. Having said all of that, I think that you have great talent. To be a leader, you also have to listen to other's ideas. You don't know everything, if so, you would already be where Diddy is. Also, why did you just not get the list of names? I didn't understand, probably due to the editing. Always stay positive in the eyes of haters. Also be you. I hope that you is a positive person who realizes that being mean, nasty and derogative gets you no where in the end. The other assistants probably didn't want to work with you either.
Much Love

I think that's pure foolishness and I don't really believe you "chose" to get that big... if that was the case, why not stop at size 12 or something? Anyways, I don't really want to judge your size, I just hope you're healthy.... what I REALLY want to say is that you should consider getting some of your bottom teeth shaved down... your confessional scenes irked the shit out of me because of those long crooked bottom teeth. I guess it makes no difference now that you're off the show, but for me personally it made you look even more sloppy than your weight.
