Aidy Bryant says she’s “fat” and that’s ok! The Saturday Night Live star opened up about her thoughts on body positivity on March 12.
Aidy, 31, exclusively revealed to Cosmopolitan, “Yeah, I’m fat. I’m not afraid of saying that.”
She continued, “And there are a lot of euphemistic ways to soften it, like, ‘She’s chunky or curvy.’ But there’s something to be said for just owning it and not letting it destroy me.”
