Ben Affleck Reacts to New Yorker Fat-Shaming Controversy

Now and again the celeb is the     story, yet here and there the story is   the story...

 Ben Affleck is standing up after The   New Yorker distributed an article   entitled "The Great Sadness of Ben   Affleck" a week ago. Not long after   the piece went live, the Internet   emitted into a free for all, affirming   that the essayist was fat-disgracing   the hotshot.

 In the apparently happy piece,   Naomi Fry expounds on the now-   scandalous photographs that as of   late developed of a shirtless Affleck   on the shoreline in Hawaii,   exhibiting his phoenix ascending   back tatt while taping his   forthcoming motion picture, Triple   Frontier.

 In the article, which falls under the   site's "Chronicles of Appearances"   segment, the author penned, "His gut

 is pooching outward in a route that,   in a more edified nation like, say,   France, would maybe be viewed as   virile, much the same as the vigorous

 Gérard Depardieu in his prime,   however, in wellness rightist   America, tend to peruse as Homer   Simpsonesque."

Individuals did not warmly embrace the author's "gut is pooching outward" remark nor her correlation with the doughnut cherishing epicurean Simpson.

The piece proceeded with, "A blue-dark towel is wrapped defensively around his midsection– reviewing a modest youngster at the neighborhood pool. Gazing at the water before him, his look dark and exhaust, Affleck is a vanquished Roman congressperson."

The article has been pummeled internet, getting out the piece for body-disgracing, remorselessness and focusing on a man who has openly and secretly battled with liquor abuse.

@Lefty__Knox expressed, "This resembles the fifth time you've posted this nauseating, body disgracing, savage hack occupation of an article. The New Yorker lost a supporter today. At the point when did TNY turn out to be more terrible than tabloids?

@BatGal87, "I couldn't care less for Ben Affleck, yet there was still no requirement for this article."

@deancollins stated, "This is an extremely gutless article. Jabbing fun at somebody who is unmistakably discouraged and managing substance mishandle for your very own pick up is lamentable. Can't trust the @NewYorker distributed this trash.. 'Never look down on somebody unless you are helping them up.'

The New Yorker's story closes with a judgment and a question, "The picture recommends not only the fall of Affleck but rather the coming fall of man. There is something about this depleted father that reflexively actuates freeze. We've been living in a world keep running by Affleck for so long, will we even know ourselves when they're no more?"


Affleck reacted Thursday, tweeting, "I'm doing fine and dandy. Tough skin supported by pompous tattoos."
