The 'Nigella Bites' star calls out American TV stations for airbrushing her 'sticking out stomach' to make her look thinner.

AceShowbiz - Nigella Lawson was praised for bravely speaking up against digital alterations to make her look slimmer on TV. The celebrity chef shared her own experience in dealing with airbrushing on Twitter on December 15 after Jameela Jamil posted a passionate call against the practice, and was quick to gather positive feedbacks.

One supportive user tweeted, "I've always thought you are absolutely gorgeous and loved how you celebrated your curves on your shows." Another one stated, "Woman who have 'sticking out tummys ' have brought amazing new life into the world so it's a badge of pride. Don't erase it!" A third cheered, "Thank you for making curvy ladies sexy again!"

While most praised Nigella for embracing her curves, one user took aim at U.S. networks in particular. "British televison has real people on it. US television is fake. All the power to you #MsLawson You are the real deal," the user wrote. One other user, in the meantime, noted, "They should all concentrate on the succulent and tasty dishes you cook , and leave it to that !"

Nigella drew such reactions from her followers as she joined in the growing cry to ban airbrushing practice. "I've had to tell American tv stations not to airbrush my sticking out stomach," the 58-year-old wrote. "The hatred of fat, and assumption that we'd all be grateful to be airbrushed thinner is pernicious."

As for Jameela's post that led to the "Nigella Bites" star's tweet, "The Good Place" actress wrote on her Twitter account, "For the last time, airbrushing is used as a tool for ethnicity erasure, colorism, ageism, fat-phobia, ableism, racism and sexism." She elaborated, "It's there to make you hate your real face and body. It made me hate my face, my body and my ethnicity for the longest time as a young woman."

Prior to that, the TV presenter slammed Nadine O'Regan for accusing her of "beseeching us to look uglier for the benefit of society." Firing back, she wrote, "She thinks you're 'UGLY' just as you are. She also doesn't understand that a huge part of why I hate photoshop is how it's used as a tool of erasure of ethnicities, our skin colour, our features. This is embarrassing white privilege and deep misogyny. Slow clap @NadineORegan."
