The Thing About Pam's fat suit proves Hollywood still has a fatphobia problem:
, starring Debby Ryan as Patty Bladell, a former plus-size highschooler who loses weight as revenge against those who made fun of her.In both cases, Monica and Patty’s weights are presented as something to overcome and shed, which, in turn, will immediately make them desirable to those around them . And it’s used as an explanation for their obsessive traits after the weight is lost.
Hupp’s size isn’t solely used to further a narrative or promote the idea the character has to change to become happier or a better person, as if often the case in movies and shows that use fat suits; the real-life Hupp was/is plus-size, so the show creators likely saw the suit as a bid toward authenticity. But because of the inherent fatphobia behind the suit overall, it’s still problematic to place an actor in it, regardless of the storyline, Tovar says.
