Hollywood transformations are usually put under a microscope by the media. Of course, there are two types of transformations. Some actors go above and beyond to portray a role, like Christian Bale who has put his body through hell along the way.
However, others are doing it for their well-being and still getting heat about it. Adele faced so many skeptics, so much so that fans even suggested that her voice changed...
Legend Celine Dion has gone through the same ordeal in recent years, given her thin look.
Tara Reid also falls under this category. The actress has faced so much criticism in recent years for her thin look. We'll take a look at how the body-shaming started, and how Reid herself feels about the look.
Tara Reid Is Still Extremely Busy In The World Of Hollywood
At the age of 46, Tara Reid is still showing no signs of slowing down. Sure, she's not appearing in major blockbuster films any longer, however, her resume remains completely stacked with roles.
According to IMDb, she recently complete three projects, while filming 'Doggmen' at the moment. Not only that, but she has another 13 gigs on the horizon, that are still at the pre-production phase. This includes, 'Room Ten', 'SuperSonic' and so many others.
When speaking to Interview Magazine, Reid discussed being proud of her film career. She also stated that her life off-set should not have any impact on what she could do in films.
"If you work hard, you can play hard. On your days off, you should be allowed to do whatever you want. It’s no one’s business—you shouldn’t be judged and prevented from getting roles in movies because of it."
In terms of judgment, this has unfortunately been a constant throughout Tara Reid's career.
A lot of the judging started to take place in 2018, after the star posted a swimsuit photo, showcasing her different, thinner image.
In 2018 Tara Reid Faced Several Body-Shammers After A Swimsuit Post
It started off with a simple post of Tara Reid enjoying some time outdoors with her friends, "Having the best time with my girls in Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic #happymemorialday.".
However, soon enough, the topic completely shifted. Her goal with that post was to show fans that she was finally able to enjoy time off, however, it started an entire discussion on how thin she looked in the photo.
Despite all the backlash and comments, Reid completely diffused the situation, stating, "Despite the hate received by some gossip sites, glad to see some sites focused on the intent. Relaxing with my friends during the holiday weekend."
Reid would further state alongside Page Six that all the hate was really nothing new for her. “I’ve gone through it for so many years that, you know, sometimes I feel bad for them because if they’re that miserable writing things at home, what are they doing?” she said. “That’s negative. You know, it’s hurtful.”
“Love will always beat hate,” Reid added. “It’s just so hard to find love because you’ve got to find it in yourself first.”
Reid is more than okay with the way she looks and in addition, she has a reason for her dramatic weight loss and thin look.
Tara Reid Calls Her Slim Figure Natural And Because Of A Fast Metabolism
As far as Tara is concerned, her weight is completely normal, and she isn't starving herself. Reid made it clear that she isn't trying to lose weight or be purposely thin, instead, the actress revealed that a lot of it has to do with her quick metabolism.
"To all who made their great comments exposing their hate for my artsy picture I posted yesterday, it was the angle. Here is another picture from yesterday to show you I am not too skinny, I have a high metabolism."
"Anyone with a high metabolism understands it’s impossible to gain weight. All I do is eat. To everyone who wrote something nice and stuck up for me, I love you! And keep spreading that love, it is the only thing that will save this world."
The post was made recently in late October of 2021, meaning she's still battling lots of hate online.
Even in the comments section of that very post, fans were still getting on her case, stating that poor nutrition is the reason why she aged a little bit quicker... yikes.
To be clear, if Reid is happy with that she looks, then everyone else should be as well.
