Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter left in tears over BBC star’s ‘violently mean’ comments
Emily Clarkson, daughter of Jeremy Clarkson, became emotional during the most recent episode of her podcast while discussing Luisa Zissman’s recent Instagram post. Last month, The Apprentice star responded to trolls who made cruel comments about her physique after she shared two bikini photographs during a summer holiday.
In the images, The Apprentice personality oozed confidence in a white and black bikini, but was cruelly subjected to numerous body-shaming comments in the replies section.
Responding to the trolls, Luisa subsequently posted an extensive message defending her figure and fitness, whilst criticising “idle” individuals and those who “normalise being overweight”.
Part of her message stated: “Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald’s loving lazy people fatties”, and continued to say her physique is the outcome of “energetic, health and mostly clean living.
She added: “If you got off your a***s and stopped shoving s**t in your mouths you wouldn’t be as fat and fat wouldn’t be normal.
“Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it’s healthy. Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it’s not normal.”
During Emily and Alex Light’s Should I Delete That? podcast, the duo expressed their views on the use of GLP-1 injections and Serena Williams’ stance on them.
They then referenced Luisa’s Instagram message and described it as “violently mean”. Emily, a body positivity advocate, expressed: “Luisa Zissman did those stories which I just thought ‘bl***y hell’.”
“They were horrible,” Alex added, to which Jeremy’s daughter agreed.
After Alex read out the BBC star’s comments in full, Emily was moved to tears as she explained why she believes such words could be harmful.
She stated: “So what if someone is a bit fat and likes eating biscuits, so what? “Do you know how f*****g hard it is to just be alive, and like be a good mum, and a good person and a good friend, and do all of these things, and then you get talked about, and to, like that, and I just really thought we’d moved on and I thought we lived in a place that was better than this, where we wasn’t so f*****g mean.”
She went on to say: “Thinness is not better, like you’re not better than anyone else because you didn’t have a biscuit this morning, like congratulations that you look good in a bikini!
“What is it they say? If the words you spoke were written on your skin, would you still be beautiful? No! You look like a f*****g monster.”
After her co-star asked if she was alright, she responded: “I’m sad, it’s just really f*****g sad, what I want my kids to grow up being scared of being fat? No! I want them to grow up being scared of being mean. That’s a scary thing.”
In a bold statement, she concluded: “Be who the f**k you are, eat what you f****g want, live your life!
Alex continued, expressing her belief that while it was wrong for trolls to target Luisa’s physique, Luisa shouldn’t have “taken aim” at individuals “living in larger bodies”.
“It’s just really mean isn’t it,” Emily added, concurring with her co-star that the behaviour was “violently mean”.
