What a jerk!

[Tawse]

It's a really big shame what the "fashion" industry and all it's bullies do to the women in society.

I'd like to say I'm shocked he said it - but honestly I was waiting for the backlash of her weight to come around - just like it did for Kelly Clarkson and hell any other celebrity female who had the audacity to not be a size 0.

[dark_crystal]

He had no business mentioning it at all unless someone had asked him whether he planned to have her model for him (not that I think she is too fat to model, but he does have a right to an opinion about that). Otherwise, too fat for what?

[girl_dee]

i am so sick of hearing the word FAT!

[Novelafemme]

Someone needs to tell Karl he's got a little schmutz on his chin.

[The_Lady_Snow]

He's a privileged mysoginistic, sexist old goat:

FUCK HIM

[Sachita]

Only men with inadequate penis size or function will ever make such statements. Real men know better.

[LeftWriteFemme]

Come on now aren't we all impressed that a giant ass can talk and fan itself......

Well now days the ideal body for a woman is a 13 year old boy because gay men run the fashion industry. Honestly I don't think any gets to decide a standard of beauty for anyone else. Especially some old dried up crusty raisin ball having asshole like Karl Lagerfeld. Fuck him. It's a shame in all of his years on earth he still hasn't learned how to be a decent human being.

[Gemme]

I really wish Ebon would learn how to speak his mind.

:blink:

Karl has his place in the world and Adele has hers. Hers is on my MP3 player, which gets listened to nearly every day. I haven't found Karl a place in my personal world and I'm not trying too hard to do so.

For me, it sucks to have someone say that, but it happens every day. I don't buy his clothes. I can't fit into them. I'm too fat for them. So, in Karl's mind, I'm like Adele, which I can totally live with.

Thanks for the compliment, Karl!

[JustJo]

I'm with Gemme.

He's entitled to his opinion about fashion, and the models who wear them. For him to be judging ALL women by his fashion model standards is, I think, more than a bit over the top.

Frankly, I have zero interest in the fashion industry, in designers, or in spending ridiculous sums of money on clothing. That's my opinion.

It's also my opinion that the fashion industry as a whole has perpetrated a pretty horrific thing on the women of the world, particularly on young girls, who think that they have to starve themselves and look anorexic in order to be beautiful.

Personally I prefer the days of the luscious pin-ups.....most of whom were size 14 or 16...and who actually had breasts, hips, and a real ass.

Adele is an immensely talented woman....and I don't actually give a hoot what she looks like. What she sounds like is absolutely good enough for me.

[foxyshaman]

I personally think Adele is quite hot. I love her luscious curves and beautiful body. She could sing me to sleep anytime. Stupid fucker obviously does not speak for all of us... :byebye:

[genghisfawn]

Every time I look at that guy, I think of Margaret Cho and "fanning the flaaaames of my faggotry!"

*cough*

Still. Karl Lagerfeld is in a position to critique and develop runway couture, not the body of talented, beautiful women like Adele.

Besides... she's one of those femmes for whom I don't think even the staunchest butch-lover can help but get weak. I know I do.

OMgoodness that made me laugh....

I agree Adele is a beautiful woman and say she has an average/normal health sized body.

[CherylNYC]

She's flat out gorgeous, and he's an ass!

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Adele hits back at Karl Lagerfeld....

Adele looks amazing just the way she is! :D

just my 2 cents :)

[Leigh]

She is an absolutely stunning woman, and its pretty obvious that he needs to grab a brain and quick!

Adele is an absolutely gorgeous in every inch and e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y talented woman... and it's obvious Karl Lagerfeld just wants to be her... heh.

Seriously, maybe he'd prefer she be like many of the rail thin women in his industry (and outside of it) where their hair thins, they stop menses and heart weakens, and many succumb to their eating disorders because they're never quite thin enough to live up to ppl like his 'standards of beauty'? I could go on and on but society is so messed up on 'standards' of beauty and placements of value when it comes to women I wouldn't even know where to begin.

And I can't help but add... yeah sure... and he's a real 'looker' himself...
Meh,

You should hide behind that fan Karl Lagerfeld, shame on you, for calling Adele "a little bit fat." Who are you? What is the point of saying that? What are you trying to prove? Why are you trying to cut a bitch down? Shame shame shame.

Don't read people as that only leads to being read to and you don't want to hear that story. You have talked about being bullied, and I am sure you were. I see it, as I was bullied too, and I am disappointed in you, for here you have proven yourself to be quite good at it, and you are the very worst kind — a condescending one.

Adele is nothing less than amazing. She is a true, courageous and rare talent and someone who has captured the attention and the admiration of the world in a seriously short time. She is ALSO a great beauty and tremendously meaningful incandescent wonder. She looks so awesome, her loveliness radiates from her strong and fast spinning interior klieg lights and brightens everything to the degree that it makes even dark, overcast me feel luminous and fierce and worthy. That's what a light like her does. She lights up our life. She is beaming through the clouds and bringing you the sun. Fuck you if you can't realize that. Fuck you and your fucking glasses. Take them off for a second and see the goddamn light. Self tanner doesn't give you no vitamin D. You need sun.

Adele sings and I wish I could sing like that, and I do, in the shower. I wonder if i could look like her. Maybe 20 years ago that could have been me. Maybe I am beautiful after all. Maybe everyone was wrong about me. Maybe I am going to be loved. Maybe I'll be happy someday. Maybe, yes. Maybe.

It sounds complex because it is terribly complex, but curiously simple and plain. When you see someone you identify with, who has a body that could be your body, and you recognize it on the screen because you remember it from the mirror and you watch them shine and conquer and overcome and overwhelm and startle and take over the world, you think you can do the same. It gives you strength. It's powerful, indescribably so. A star like her — we haven't had someone like that for a while. She's been desperately needed. Where you been all our lives Adele? I am just glad you're here.

Adele changes the game and all the rules. She makes a generation of women, young and old, want to play. She makes us feel like we could win, we could actually win this time. Finally, we have our eyes on the prize. When she's on the cover of a magazine, I buy it right then and there. She doesn't look like the girls who are always on the cover of a magazine. She looks better, and all the more so because she really fucking deserves to be there.

Why are you trying to tarnish that? why are you trying to spit on her success and fame? Its ugly. It's uncouth and unfair. And I know that you, as you have the kind of face and frame easily run to fat — its familiar as I have the same — I know you've struggled. I have felt for you. You know what it feels like to be judged. Why do it? Because you've made it to the other side? Is it better there? Aren't you hungry? I am, just looking at you. I know to be as thin as you are now, you need to control everything that goes into your mouth every second of every minute of every hour of every day. I wish you were as ardent in controlling what came out of it.

I don't know why we care what you have to say. We don't have the luxury to starve for fashion. We have to work for a living. We have double shifts. We carry groceries we can barely buy with our meager salaries up many flights of stairs and feed our children and deal with our children being molested and woefully sometimes bury our children and find a way to live through this, being merely children ourselves. We worry through vocal surgery and survive the silence and still go to gigs and keep from getting hit and if we do, successfully cover the bruises with concealer so we can go to school and to the DMV and SXSW and keep our heads up high while being unloved or loved by the wrong ones and hang in the friend zone as we hang our laundry out to dry and run for the bus and fight for the right to marriage while finalizing painful divorces and try amidst all this to keep going and get by.

When you say we are fat, you murder our grace, and we've already lost so much to begin with. We've already lost everything, except weight. That we gain steadily, along with self hatred, and all you are doing is adding to our burden, pressing down on the scale with the long toe of your fine, elegantly tassled loafer.

We don't have millions of dollars to perforate our fat with expensive, experimental injections. We don't have time to be lightheaded and sick with hunger. We can't afford fasting clinics in the Swiss Alps or a messianic nutritionist or portion controlled meals wrapped up in white linen and enshrouded in Chanel camellias. We have to pay the rent and pay for gas and if eating is some comfort to us in our difficult lives, let it be so. Just let us be. Let us listen to Adele, who is triumphantly one of us and let us enjoy her and feel like her and think we are her for a moment and be safe in her music and in our heads.

To someone like you or me or Adele or anyone really, to be called fat is the gravest insult, and the injury in yours is that you say she has a beautiful face. How many of us have heard the same thing and suffered more for it? Its not a compliment. It's like saying ‘my, what a fabulous turd.' Keep your compliments and condescension to yourself. It doesn't soften what you know in your heart to be a mighty blow.

You consider yourself to be the authority on style, as you are supposedly style personified but what good is style when you have no class? What good is style when you have no humanity? What good is style when you make us want to kill ourselves? We are dying, Karl. Lots of us are already dead.

Don't bother apologizing, as I am sure your people, your ‘Team Lagerfeld' is advising you to do. There is no ‘I' in team, but if there were, there would be a Tim and a Tam and have you had a Tim Tam? You should. They are real good. What you could do instead of offering an empty apology is design for us, all the regular folks in the world, and really go for it. Make clothes that flatter us, make us feel good about ourselves. Make beautiful things that glorify us but won't bankrupt our bank accounts or our spirit. Do your job, dummy. Be the sartorial equivalent to Adele's music. I know you have it in you. There is immeasurable genius behind all your idiocy, behind the ridiculous glasses, within the high perimeter of that starched collar.

If you say it isn't possible, then you are useless. If you say you can't do it and that it is our own fault that we can't be thin enough for your vision, then you are a dismal failure, and you've always been one and you always will be.

We are sick of only being able to wear your fragrance. It stinks of selfishness and stupidity and lack of effort and frankly, that is beneath you, because honestly, I know you try, just like we try. We are all trying Karl, but I am asking you to try harder. With your prodigious means and power, you could change things for the better, for generations to come. But if you don't want to now, then you probably won't ever, which is sad and wasteful of your lavish gifts and a precious opportunity lost. If you want to be that way then flap that fan until you take flight and fill the thin air with your antique birdsong – out of earshot, so we can listen to Adele in peace.

Adele Addresses Her Weight, Karl Lagerfeld Apologizes (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1678832/adele-weight-karl-lagerfeld.jhtml)

Speaking once again to Metro, Lagerfeld issued a statement about his previous comments. "I'd like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer. Sometimes when you take a sentence out of the article, it changes the meaning of the thought. What I said was in relation to Lana Del Rey and the sentence has since been taken out of context from how it was originally published," he said. "I actually prefer Adele, she is my favorite singer and I am a great admirer of her. I lost over 30 kilos over 10 years ago and have kept it off. I know how it feels when the press is mean to you in regards to your appearance. Adele is a beautiful girl. She is the best. And I can't wait for her next CD."

Regardless of what Lagerfeld thinks about the Grammy-nominated pop star, in a new interview with People magazine, Adele opens up about her appearance. "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that," she said, according to the U.K. edition of Marie Claire.

"I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40 pounds lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing [a contract], most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say [lose weight] to me, they wouldn't be working with me."

[Cid]

Seriously, this guy is butt ugly and he has the nerve to say something about Adele? Really???

I was just saying to a friend at work that I hope they don't ruin her by making her lose weight and strut all over the stage like a piece of trash. Just like they did with Rhianna. She used to really have it all, but she just went down the trash alley and I have no respect for her at all. It's a shame.

As far as the inappropriateness of some dude who idealizes freakishly skeletal models saying anything negative about what a singer looks like, I couldn't agree with you more. BUT, I don't care if he's ugly, handsome, thick or thin. No matter what a person looks like, they have NO BUSINESS talking trash about another person's looks. ESPECIALLY someone as gorgeous and talented as Adelle. I know he apologised, but I won't stop being annoyed by this until I see a photo of Karl Lagerfield actually kissing her beautiful, round ass.

[Toughy]

If you really want to get pissed........

check out Adele on the cover of Vogue.......they airbrushed all the pics of her to make her look smaller.......or she has lost 20-30 pounds.
