...How exactly would she possibly go about losing weight given how she currently look?

 

[krioto]

I thought Kerry Katona was Miss Iceland

well, I laughed.

 

[TAJ]

They're using her passport to coerce her?
Does Nevada not have kidnapping and human trafficking laws?

 

[Linkura]

UPDATE:

The owners of the beauty contest have her passport and won't give it back to her unless she signs some kind of a new contract banning her talking about the contest. So now she's stuck the Las Vegas unable to get home to Iceland.

She made this claim on her Snapchat.

What the fuck? Has someone reported this to the police? I would but I'm an old fogey who has no idea how Snapchat works, nor am I anywhere near LV.

What the actual fuck???

 

[Cabbagehead]

Is this a hostage situation wtf?

 

[Xun]

She's absolutely vulgar.

Spoiler

The fuck?

 

[Brutalitops]

I was ready to come in saying that the decision made sense (assuming she was really fat), but then I saw the pic.

Fucking LOL m8

 

[ActWan]

I still can't fathom how the beauty and fashion industry define "fat" if most of the public doesn't agree? (Atleast it seems that way to me)

 

[Zakalwe]

Beauty Contests are a horrible industry; I doubt this catches any traction, but anyone who could seriously call that anything more than underweight has impossibly high standards, and any woman risking to strive for that is going to put their body in serious danger (Without even starting with the emotional damage involved here).

Underweight?

 

[Koomaster]

Saying she's fat (when she's clearly not) and having her come out with that is bad. Then they made her retract what she said and you realize it's worse. Now they are holding her passport and you realize they are pure scum.

Like seriously what horrible rotten people. Hope these actions shine a light on them and this organization that would allow it to happen.

 

[A Link to the Past]

While she is one fine woman... it's their rules and requirements. I don't see the ordeal other than her being butthurt. If you can't cut the 10 pounds cause the rice is so good then you gotta deal with it. She's not fat but she's probably right above their standard. If others have to abide then she does
tldr: outrage culture strikes again

Yeah, clearly this is just normal. A normal thing that the judges tried to cover up in order to avoid criticism.

Seriously, do you ever feel embarrassment that you literally responded to the fact that the judges were criticized for their actions by suggesting that criticism was outrage culture?

Its secretly a competition for 10yr old boys.

An ex of mine is a stylists, her gradual obsession with not being 'young and thin' enough eventually lead to us not talking to one another. Utterly toxic industry.

 

[NEO0MJ]

You know there're ways to do that.

 

[Sony]

I'm a bit conflicted. On the one had I think that calling her too fat by societal standars is crazy. But this is a competition, they have their standards. It's like when someone isn't buff enough to enter a body-building comptition. By societal standards that dude is buff as fuck but simply not for the compeition standards.

They do have to word it differently.

 

[notsol337]

If there's truth to her claim of the contest organizers holding her passport until she signs a waver, then I don't care what their standards are.

Denying a person their right to return home until they do what you want is horseshit.

 

[thelastcrusader]

Dat obesity tho. Can't even see her ribs. Gimme dat Jack Skellington or nada.
Seriously though wtf is wrong with people? If anything she's too thin.

Didn't know about this. Fuck them then.

Let's not go too far.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Holding her passport can't be legal, that's what the sex traffickers to.

jesus christ (if true!)

TBH I would just ban all formal beauty contests. They bring nothing of value. Beautiful people already get rewarded by society(I would know), there's no need to formalise it. Plus it leads to damaging body issues amongst the wider public.

 

[Sapiens]

It's about time we let these fat people participate then.

 

[neorej]

This is The Onion, right? Has to be...

 

[Shredderi]

Fat? Fuck off.

 

[Raxus]

Not pictured below are her sharp knees.

Spoiler

/s

 

[kinggroin]

The judges are gaffers confirmed.

Bahahaha

"I'm sorry m'amm, your passport is being suspended under the 'What happens in Vegas...' clause"


Let's not go too far.

She can easily gain 5+ lbs without worrying about it.

 

[RocknRola]

How is this too fat for anything? Wut.

 

[neorej]

How is this too fat for anything? Wut.

You can clearly see her fat folding over the bikinitop under her arm, and her thumb is buried in her sidefat.

Contender for worst post of the year?

 

[Cryxo93]

Waaaaoooow... That's bad. We gotta change this fetishisation of anorexia. Good for her for standing up.

 

[Shadybiz]

I disagree.

 

[SomTervo]

TIL having an ounce of fat on your body means you "are fat".

I thought Kerry Katona was Miss Iceland

 

[RootCause]

Can they really hold on to her passport? :x

 

[Alexlf]

Is taking a passport and refusing to return it illegal? Because if it isn't, it should be.

 

[ClosingADoor]

As far as I know, this is illegal as fuck and she should call the police right away. You can't hold a person hostage like that. Plus the passport is her property (or the states, but in her care).

 

[FF Seraphim]

How can they legally keep her passport? I hope her government is beating down that organization door

 

[CTLance]

I wish I was that fat.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Can they really hold on to her passport? :x

I'd suggest she should make a beeline to her embassy, report the passport as stolen and request a replacement or temporary legal equivalent. Then get the hell out of dodge. Because fuck that.

 

[Sparkedglory]

That's fat? Really? REALLY? Fuck those organizers.

 

[Aztechnology]

Whelp looks like I'm a gat damn chubby chaser then.

 

[Already Torn]

Those are two very different things.

Figured, really messed up.

 

[jorma]

The passport thing is obviously outrageious. But the rest? I don't care. If the rules of the competition bothers her she probably shouldn't enter.
No one should enter period if you ask me, but that's her choice.

 

[LordKasual]

I have a friend who hated the actress who played Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.

He calls her fat.

Literally nobody on earth agrees with him, but he sees it regardless.


I'm going to say 90% of humans on earth will disagree with these judges, so i'm not even angry.

 

[roytheone]

Fuck these people and everything they stand for. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[E92 M3]

Don't care about the rules of the beauty contest - something she entered herself. But more importantly, the passport thing is very conspicuous.

She made it in just fine until they tried to bar her from the grand finals and even if it was the rules it's still wrong.
