Howard Stern Predicts Wrongly That Gabourey Sidibe Will Never Work Again Because She’s Too Fat

Published on March 9, 2010 at 6:01 PM

Shock jock Howard Stern who always seems a bit harsher on the less beautiful people, got on the subject of ‘Precious’ actress Gabourey Sidibe on his Sirius satellite show on Monday, with his usual mean spirited candor:

“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” he said. “She should have gotten the Best Actress award because she’s never going to have another shot. What movie is she gonna be in?”

He and co-host Robin Quivers went on to discuss the impossibility of Sidibe finding any work in Hollywood after ‘Precious.’

“And Oprah’s lying and saying you’re going to have a brilliant career,” said Robin.

“Oprah’s another liar, a filthy liar,” said Stern. “She’s telling an enormous woman the size of a planet that she’s going to have a career.”

As the Huffington Post points out though reports of the likely death of Gabourey Sidibe’s career are greatly exaggerated. She is already cast to appear on the new Showtime series ‘The C Word’ and will appear opposite Zoe Kravitz on the big screen in the drama ‘Yelling to the Sky.’
