Kate Winslet regained her fame in the 1990s and 2000s.
In an interview with Vogue, the 47-year-old British comedian recalled how she was treated by the media in the 1990s. She was only 22 when the Titanic came out and the harassment began.
“I’m not going to lie, I learned the hard way to take care of myself,” the actress told the magazine. I clearly remember the time when I was making Titanic and being thrown at the public. I was shocked and appalled at the way the mainstream media slandered me. »
The Oscar winner noted that the media made fun of her body, which forced her to hide from the paparazzi for fear of humiliation. While attacks on the physical were common in the 1990s and 2000s, Kate Winslet affirms in the press that “this is not the case today”. However, body shaming has not gone away.
“Of course things like that happen on social media, in people’s homes and when the public shares their opinions – some people just have shit to say.” But I think the mainstream media has stopped being irresponsible and biased,” said the actress.
On May 26, Kate Winslet chaired the L’Oréal Paris Lights on Women awards at the Cannes Film Festival – an annual awards program honoring women short filmmakers.
