A DAY after Adele took the virtual world by storm by showing off her 100-pound weight loss in birthday photos, The Views Meghan McCain slammed everyones reactions.
The pregnant talk show host, 35, claimed giving praise for the singers svelte figure confirms fears that being thin is all that matters.
During Thursdays broadcast of The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked her fellow View co-hosts if how skinny [Adele] is is what people should really be focusing on right now.
Meghan had a lot to say about the situation and started off by saying how much she loves Adele and how her talent and success is what should be commented on, not her weight.
She continued: My weight is always fluctuating up and down, and theres something about the reaction to Adeles weight that sort of validates the fact that you have to be thin to be valued in the world.
And it sort of confirms all the fears women like me have that if only I would lose 30-something pounds, then maybe [everyone] will love me more.
Some viewers are on Meghans side, with one saying: For once I agree with Meghan on Adele.
Another thanked the host for her perspective on the comments surrounding Adele's weight loss, tweeting: Many of us feel the same and are having the same issue w this culture!
Meghan, who announced in March shes expecting her first child with husband, Ben Domenech, also shared fears shes having over returning to work after giving birth later this year.
She said: One of the weird parts about being pregnant in the pandemic is the world doesnt get to see my body changing because clearly you guys are only seeing me from the waist up.
And one of my biggest fears coming back to the show, when we inevitably hope to come back to the show, is what thereaction will be to the weight that I gain being pregnant and then if I dont lose it fast enough.
The political commentator added: [The Adele comments] just confirmed my worst fears that if I dont lose 30 pounds immediately, then the backlash is going to be pretty vicious, as it has been my entire career.
