I saw this on Virginia Sole Smith's apology after she said Patrick Mahomes was white in her initial post about this commercial. This is a much less...exhausting take. Thank you.

I was so angry seeing that commercial- especially as a mom watching WITH my kids. Thankyou for breaking down how toxic it is far more than I even realized when seeing it live- giving me even more language to go back and reflect on my own and with my kids. Subscribed instantly as a way to support body liberation.

This is so well written, Chrissy. Thank you for putting to words the anger and frustration so many of us feel. When I saw that commercial (and so many others with similar tones) I immediately thought of you and your work. Which I wish didn't have to be the case. thank you, as always, for such a beautifully articulated piece.

Thank you for this piece Chrissy. I hadn’t seen the commercial and am fuming now. I won’t go see it to give it anymore views, but I really appreciate you bringing it up and with your brilliant perspective and way of communicating your message, always.
