That's another part of the problem - anyone who complains about stuff like being called fat is accused of demanding "the right not to be offended" and wanting special treatment even if they're doing nothing of the sort, as a way of pressuring them into shutting up.
He didn't just tell Jennifer Livingston was fat, he told her that she should be ashamed of herself for being fat and should hide herself from the public eye unless and until she got thin. That's bullshit, and bullshit deserves to be called.
