Host Mo’Nique and her F.A.T. CHANCE finalists get naked in their latest photo shoot.
I’m not a skinny chick myself so I try to support Mo’Nique as much as I can - but I have to draw the line at this one. They really PLAYED the women in this photo. *Shakes Head* However, I do applaud them for getting naked in front of the camera because that really means they are comfortable with themselves.
Anyway, in a recent interview with Essence Magazine Mo’Nique spoke on the new season of F.A.T. Chance and on the body paint:
You’re also celebrating your junior year with your F.A.T. Chance beauty pageant. How was it taping the show in Paris?
- It was absolutely life-changing for me. We did high-fashion photo shoots, walked the runways of Paris and did nude body painting.Wow, so you let go of all your inhibitions in France. How long did it take you to muster up the courage?
- Well, I’ve been nude before. When I visited Exuma, Bahamas, it was extremely private and isolated, so I would take my bathing suit off and I enjoyed that feeling. After doing it the first time on a remote island, I said I wanted to enjoy this feeling whenever I feel like having it and I felt like having it in Paris. And the Parisians were looking at us like, “Whadahell? What are we supposed to do? I’m like, “Get some more paint Sugar because you got to paint all of this.”So did any of the women get cold feet?
- The night before and the morning of you could feel the tension and see the emotions on their faces when I told them that we would be getting naked in front of cameras and a crew. What they didn’t know or see was that I was going through the same emotions. But the moment we all had to drop our towels, I watched those women and myself walk into freedom. It was very emotional for all of us. We laughed and we cried. It really chokes me up because when you see it, you don’t see unattractiveness or shame from the women, all you see is true beauty.
The third season of Oxygen’s plus-size reality competition Monique’s F.A.T. Chance starts with one hour casting special on July 21st @ 10PM ET/PT.

Ok, I’m a big girl but DAMN this is not cute. Monique really gets on my nerves with the preaching about big girls shouldn’t be ashame of their bodies. Some things are better left covered not expose. This is ohhh weee, not good.

Monique does all of that soap box preaching on that FOL show always talking about woman respecting themselves. BUT!!! Does she realize that the media trend that has been going on for years is how women in the modeling industry are either animalized or over sexualized….practice what you preach Mo. I use to adore you…but you’re starting to annoy me.

MOniqie is just tryin to get paid, using these women, like she was using those chika’s from the school of charm series too. A damn shame! I am no skinny chick either, but looking wrong aside, all that F.A.T is just unhealthy, especially on black women, we already got a higer risk of getting diabetes, breast cancer and probably the common cold too !!

THIS IS WAAY TO MUCH. ITS OK TO BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN..BUT THESE WOMEN ARE UNHEALTHY. OUR COMMUNITY HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES..MO NEEDS TO DO A FIT CHALLENGE NOT PARADE THESE WOMEN AROUND. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A LITTLE EXTRA PADDING ..BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY RIDICULOUS. THESE WOMEN NEED A TRAINER, GYM AND A DIEST PLAN ASAP!

Oh hell no… That’s just X-/. I understand she’s happy with herself being a bigger woman, but that’s just tooooo much. People are going to jump on me and ask, well why is it okay for thinner women to pose nude… Well, I don’t want to sound shallow or rude but here ya go: It’s more “appealing” to the general public and that’s just the truth. Like longer hair is more appealing to some, a shapely body is appealing in the same way………… There should have been a warning. O_o

#30 Too Tot… co-sign 110%
I completely agree that you should be proud of your body flaws and all, but being proud that you are obese and flaunting it like its a good thing??? Those women don’t look good nor do they look healthy, and the one in the blue and black body paint looks like she is morbidly obese and that certainly is nothing to be proud of! There is nothing wrong with having curves or being shapely, but all of those women crossed that line a long time ago!!! Being obese is not okay just like being too thin is not okay! Neither are healthy and neither should be praised or flaunted!!!

No one should be ashamed of their body. You have to live with what the good Lord gave you. We can’t be mean towards these women. We can’t close our eyes and wish them thin. They are what they are and that’s God’s children. Lets not forget that people. There is too much discrimination against people who are big, add female to that and its worse. Any one of us could become overweight, even you size 2 women out there.
You could be in an accident tomorrow and be bedridden for a long time and your body completely change due to the lack of movement. You could be an amputee and end up in a wheelchair and gain weight from that. Or you could be eating to cover up your pain and gain weight which is the case for a lot of self hating women.
The weight is a side effect of so many other things. we really can’t judge these women because their story is their own.
Peace.

They must loose weight and they are beautiful. So strange.They are too big to be healthy and monique probably did ‘gently’ force them to do it as she continues to fight this endless battle that she can never win. At first the cat girl cracked me up. She reminded me of kids b-day parties getting their faces painted and then you look at the rest and the colors and their faces. All their faces except Mo and cat-girl…just looking into the camera…women… scared,maybe not, just women–people.I can’t explain it properly but i liked that.

too tot has it right! it’s about the health issue. yea, they are comfortable showing their bodies blah blah blah but they are clearly unhealthy.
@Bellissimo i understand what you mean by no one should be ashamed of their bodies, but if you are big b/c you decided to eat mcdonald’s 3 times a day, don’t exercise, etc. you have a problem. mo’nique keeps talking about how big girls look good and there are healthy looking big girls (girls who can’t help being big but who try to eat healthy and stay somewhat active) but these women don’t look healthy. though there might be reasons for this like you mentioned, they most likely just ate too much and it’s not good for their bodies

OK…I’m a big girl, and this is NOT cute. The only one who really “rocked it” was the cat lady in the back…roflmao. I get Monique with her “royal” blue trying to be a queen. It’s just way over the top. I bet some Hollywood asshole talked Monique’s ass into this (but they really did it for the ratings). SMH
