After a week of being ridiculed by the media, (including Howard Stern and Jamie Foxx), actress Gabourey Sidibe was spotted out and about in NYC. She hit up the Victorinox store then went to eat at the Baltazar restaurant with what looked like to be her father.
In related news, Gabby will be co-starring in the new Showtime series, The Big C, which is scheduled to premiere this fall. She will also co-star with Zoe Kravitz in the upcoming indie movie, “Yelling to the Sky”.

She is so sloppy. I’ve seen big girls dress waaay better than that.
I hate to jump on the “hate on Gabby” bandwagon but GABBY can do much better than this!! The wig, clothes and Uggs are HORRID!!! Gabby you got a little money I am sure that you can do better than this girl!!
lol lol lmao lmao …wtf…..dis heffer needs a crash diet A,s,A,P…LOOKING LIKE KING KONG…. Lmao lol
I want to love her and I do respect her as an actress that has broken down many barriers but she can do better than this. I mean look at Queen Latifah, J.Hud, hell even Aretha Franklin has done better smh. Come on Gabbz
Not feeling the outfit at all but its fine wit me as long as I’m not wearing it. IMO I think that people should let her worry about her weight and how she looks. I like her as an actress and she seems like a sweet, and goodhearted person. I just hope that she does try to get in shape for the sake of good health and longevity. That’s all I have to say about that.
all that weight is unhealthy and she looks a mess … period
I hated that Jamie and Howard ridiculed her for her weight but damn! Not even that she is sloppy, but she looks uncomfortable to say the least!
is that a knock off bag? she getting money now…she gotta stop getting bootleg bags. NOT A GOOD LOOK!
must be a pain trying to buy nice clothes and shoes that fit. The chick on here who’s obsessed with weight is gonna have a field day with this pics LOL
We’ve seen celebs look sloppy on their off day,and we say that they are just laid back,but then Gabby dresses like this and some people take this chance to jump on her weight.Yes,she needs to lose some weight for health reasons(damn how everyone else feels about her)but if she wants to dress like this on her off day then damn it I’ll give it to her.I’ve seen this look on other celebs and I let them pass,so I’ll do the same for her.And if you talk about someone’s weight be respectful,calling her out of her name and insulting her is just childish.
Yall are terrible. Im a 16 year old girl in high school and half of you all that are grown sound worse than kids at school. Leave her alone damn.
LOVE GABBY -STAY STRONG
LOVE GABBY – STAY STRONG
SHE JUST CAME OUT ASSHOLES , GIVE HER A CHANCE TO BLOSSOM .
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE ,,,JAMIE FOX IS A FROG , AND SHOULD NO BETTER — WHAT A WEAK ASS TRAINED HOLLYWOOD MONKEY ….
I AM GOING TO BOYCOTT HIS ASS ,,,,BLACK HOLLYWOOD MALES —FAKE PUNKS ……
WHY JAMIE ?? ? ? TRYING TO BE A FOLLOWER .
HOWARD STERN – IS AN UGLY DRUG -UP JEWISH RACIST, TOO ME , AND I HAVE NEVER SUPPORTED HIS BAD -BREATH ASS .
@ConcreteLoop
Y’all was wrong for even posting this. Nothing good or uplifting will be said. Good thing Gabby seems to have a good head on her shoulders and a healthy self-esteem because people will continue to pick her apart. I just want her to step her game up now. Being a celebrity means that you need to look better than most people when you step outside. That’s all.
I agree with Ms Fine Br. .. I bet have the ppl that will be commenting is this post A mess they self. That girl getting money more then alot (bloggers)!! She got yall talkin, so at least she relevant. Ha!
Please add the Rickey Smiley show to this list because they were dogging her out too. I think if she is happy with her body then other people shouldn’t worry about it.
People she was not in a BIG BUDGET movie, and she was a FIRST TIME actress, anybody who knows ANYTHING about the industry knows that first timers get paid nothing, and their contracts dont give them money from the film’s success at the box office. She hasnt done ANY commercial, no advertisement have been offered to her, so stop acting like this girl just made 10mill, when she prob made 100thou
..problem with our community now, black people worried so much about clothes shoes, cars and hos. I dont hear any of you fools talking bout education, which most of you sittin at home on the computer all day everyday need, fucking slackers. Maybe she just wanted to hangout with her, father, and be comfortable, what she need a ballroom gown for?
Gabby don’t let the haters on this board get to you, you have broke many barriers that hollywood put up toward black heavy set men and women. Talent comes in all colors and shapes. From the hair to the shoe we know you got to money to do whatever so do you and be blessed.
@ #13
How are they wrong for postig pictures?They didn’t insult her like some of the commenters.They can’t not show pictures of her just because of what someone might say about her.
Just NO!!! I don’t condone people ( I am talking about you Jamie and Howard Stern) talking about Gabby, but dang she really needs an image consultant.
This is not cute. I mean her outfit is horrendous…and sky blue ugg boots?? like really–exxxtra tacky. Definitely needs a stylist.
She definitely needs to lose some weight. She can get down to at least queen latifah’s size and still be a fat girl..but she’ll be much healthier than before.
I AM NOT IN HOLLYWOOD , BUT WOULD NEVER THINK THAT A BLACK MALE THAT LOOKSSSSSS LIKE JAMIE FOX . WOULD STOOP SO LOW .
BOYCOTT JAMIE FOX WEAK UGLY ASS – SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUNG BLACK FEMALES IN HOLLYWOOD –
BOYCOTT – JAMIE FOX ASS , HE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR
BOYCOTT – JAMIE FOX ASS , HE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR

BOYCOTT – JAMIE FOX ASS , HE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR
JEFF, you’re right. But I don’t think she made that much. Precious was an independent film, so she probably made less than that. 50.000 maybe?
If a skinny person wore this then it would be okay, it seems like others are more uncomfortable about her weight than Gabby is. Dont think Gabby is rich yet, she was only in one movie with a low budget, so the money hasnt kicked in yet… maybe after quarter 2 or 3
That Jamie Foxx is hilarious!
what did Jamie say?
I LOVE GAME …CALM YOUR MONKEY ASS DOWN . WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU . EVERYBODY SEE YOU ,NO NEED TO GO OVERBOARD WITH THE CAPS LOCK. GABBY ASS IS FAT . I DONT CARE HOW YOU SLICE . COMFORTABLE OR NOT SHE NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT . PLAIN AND SIMPLE .
Why do I hear elephant thumps?
She seriously needs to lose weight. It is not healthy! We know she will never be a size 2 but damn at least get down to a 16.
That jacket is being stretched out past it’s ability. I wonder where she shops?
WE are our own worst enemy. So sad how we constantly tear down our own people. I read all these comments and I’m sitting here shaking my damn head, it’s pathetic! Put down the damn magnifying glass and pick up the mirror instead. Let the girl live!
Yea I’m disappointed with especially Jaime’s comments…we’ll see what happens to her. I mean, I’m not holding my breath that she’ll be some over night success, but I definitely see her in more roles, I’m sure something Tyler Perry soon
I bet most who are calling her fat are fat themselves and look alot worse but hiding behind a computer is the easiest thing to do…. Gabby went for her goals and she won many accolades because of it and nominated for an oscar, I bet most of you cant even get a promotion at Burger King. smh
lol @ the white women’s faces behind her. what were they thinking? lolol
it looks like she just bought a knock off handbag
She look like a damn WATER BUFFALO. Uggh. She and We gotta do better. Obesity and our culture of ignorance toward it is disgusting.
I’m sure she can see she is a fat, she doesn’t need anyone to tell her. Her reminder is everyday she puts on her clothes or sees herself in a magazine or mirror.
Whether she is doing something about it is her business . Leave it at that
lol @29
^^^
Her reminder is everytime she has to walk up a flight of stairs. Ladies, lay off the fried chicken and macaroni and cheese!
Y’all mean as hell
#16 is SOOOOOOOOOOO Very right. She isn’t “rich” at all! Seriously cut it short with the “fat” stuff. She is what she is and who she is. Do we need YET ANOTHER WOMAN feeling horrible about herself? Yes she is overweight/obese and maybe just maybe she will lose weight for health reasons…and pray that is her only reason. Because in the end people will only judge her still no matter what. You cannot please all the people all the time or any of the people some of the time…gotta please yourself. After all…she could remain this size and live to be 100+ meanwhile back at the ranch the rest of us are trying to be a size 5 or some other number and die at 60 from a heart attack with a salad in your belly and Gabby is eating her food, lol!!! think about it…
Unbelievable! “Some” of the ppl on this website are just that. Unbelievable. Some of the childhood antics are just plain ignorant. This beautiful, smart, and intelligent young lady has defeated so many naysayers and went on to star in a hit film, only to rack up a co-starring role in a series, as well a future film deal. What will you guys say next?
That she got the role because of her dark skin or because she is a big girl. Ignorance is bliss. Unfortunately, Mr. Foxx and some others will never understand or get it. I hope for once that more ppl think like her and think for themselves. Unfortunately, That may be impossible when the “Social etiquette requires the majority to think like everybody else.” The crab mentality is more alive than it ever was!
Miss Sidibe, I hope will use this ignorance as her motivation to do even bigger things. I respect this beautiful black woman and wish only the best for her in her future endeavors.
On another note:
Angel, Good luck to you and the Concrete Loop staff for uplifting and promoting positivity! You are doing a wonderful job despite the criticism of others!
@ 27 PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GO LIVE UR LIFE , AND GIVE THIS KID A CHANCE TO DO THE SAME .
@35 ,,,,I HAVE SEEN A , LOT OF THINGS WRONG IN OUR BLACK CULTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS ,,,,,,AND YES OBESITY IS ONE .
BUT THE BIGGEST AND MOST INTERESTING ISSUE WHICH STARTED FROM SLAVERY , IS ( SELF HATRED ) and the ignorance TODAY toward it is disgusting.
BLACK MALE’S IN HOLLYWOOD and Now Black American MALES MOSTLY 75% ARE ASHAMED , OF BLACK FEMALES, it’s ignorance DUE TO the Media , and the need for HAIR AND SKIN of WHAT the white RACE , has LIED and TRICKED the Weak Black Hollywood CULTURE into believing as Beauty, .
AND BLACK HOLLYWOOD WILL NOW MARRY ANYTHING TO TRY AND BREED OUT SIDE OF THEIR RACE , TO LOOK MORE WHITE …..
WHICH IS SO SAD
WHEN YOUNG BLACK KIDS LEARN TO LOVE SELF ,AND HOW THEY LOOK ,,AND NOT FOLLOW THE WEAK ASS BLACK HOLLYWOOD , NFL , NBA , AND TODAYS RAPPERS AND MUSIC INDUSTRY HYPOCRISY .
AND WE THE ADULTS CAN GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD IS DIEING —FOR OUR SKIN AND FACIAL GOOD LOOKS , AND BODIES ,,,,,,THEN OBESITY , AND LOW WORTH CAN BE OVER COME .
JAMIE FOX IS A TRUE WEAK PUNK TOO ME ,,,AND ,I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR HIM .
I would`nt mind seeing that indie movie with her and Zoe Kravitz
@ 42 My God How true , but black Ladies me and my friends travel a lot,,,, and Men across the World are in love with sister’s EUROPEAN and Caribbean men can’t get enough .
i tried post the webpag that played te actual comments fm Jamie Foxx an Howard Stern, but “they” will not post it.
Okay; there it is. Just appauling!!! Their comments were past disrespectful!!!
I love gabby but she is truly looking sloppy right here.She needs a stylist asap that can find clothing for her body type.
Do you guys understand that their are girls who look like gabby, who have the share the same story as Gabby. Girls who can only imagine the success she has gotten. And who come to concreteloop and are just excited to see her up here. Why shouldn’t Concreteloop post this. Should Concreteloop join in the media frenzy and push her to the curb. Girls who look like Gabby will only become more saddened if her role in Precious only gets seen as the one opportunity….something that can never happen again. I think you guys are disgusting to be ridiculing this girl….Does it make you feel better about yourself. Here you are behind a computer screen would you say it to her face or would you go on to praise her like you were with 100 from the beginning to the end. Y’all are fake inconsiderate bastards. I don’t care…and I said it.
That girl spent all that money in the store. I hope she saved some of that money for a personal trainer.
@51 That was so Tacky and trashy , go to Bed Jackass it’s pass your Bed time .
Gabby is a Winner and , Ur still an Asshole .
How dose that feel .
Well good for her, getting work when most said she wouldn’t. Not trying to speak ill of her, but for her health; she needs to lose some weight. We need to take care of our bodies so we can live long lives without diseases.
@ 38 Plenty of men should stay of fried shyte too. So don’t trip.
Black ppl tend to be their own worst enemy. I didn’t know that Jamie Foxx talked about her. I saw Chris Rock grab her behind at the essence awards. Disrespectful ass. He didn’t grab anybody else’s arse. Done with both of their arses. She knows she has a problem. Let her solve it without the countless scrutiny.
I wonder how many of the haters would enjoy this kind of savagery. It’s easy to sit behind a computer and criticize.
Not gonna be negative just gonna say this….as a person who is heavier u cannot afford to hv off days esp. if youre a celeb.
Ok everyone sure she looks sort of off, she is overweight but no need for people to just be down right mean. Jamie Foxx need to go somewhere in so does Howard Stern. We need to stop the hating, she needs encouragement. No one is perfect. Please people stop all the mean in nasty things you are saying. Some constructive criticism would be nice. If you can’t do that at least don’t comment or just say next but don’t be down right ugly in mean. Keep your head up Gabby in take care of you first. God Bless.
44 TINA ?? ARE YOU AND I LOVE GAME THE SAME PERSON ??? I KNEW YOU WERE A RETARD. COSIGNING YOURSELF….. YOU USED THE SAME SEQUENCE OF COMMAS AS TINA LIKE YOU USED UNDER I LOVE GAME…. ITS A PITTIFUL DAY WHEN YOU COME ON A BLOG AND PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE ELSE TO AGREE WITH YOURSELF … CRAZY …….
I love Gabby… she is beautiful and loves who she is…. but for health reasons she needs to lose weight… she is a great example about loving yourself but also can be a example for black people …. childhood obesity is a problem, blood pressure, heart attck, stroke etc…. she has the talent to be great and we want you around for a long time Gabby !!!
why are people so mean.
She has accomplished alot in the last year.
Give her time to lose weight. She wont lose it over night. sheesh.
Geesh yall is harsh on this blog. Anyway I don’t think she looks all that horrible. I wouldn’t of worn that but then again I’m not her. People are overreacting cause she doesn’t look bad she has on regular clothes. I guess everyone with something negative to say about her appearance must be draped in Dior on there day off. Anyway I have seen Gabby shit all over anything some folks here could come up with at several events. That said she could lose some weight but she looks a lil slimmer here anyway no lie maybe it’s just me though.
I know Jamie Foxx isn’t talking about somebody’s weight. He has a sister who is about Gabby’s size, maybe a little smaller and I believe she has a disability. How would he like if someone talked about his sister. He should be uplifiting his people in interviews, especially after Howard Stern’s comments. He has to remember if it wasnt for people with differences such as Ray Charles who was blind but persevered, he would not have gotten the role or won the Oscar of the portrayal.
haha—-like I knew—this beast would be done after awards season.
she’s not the toast of the town anymore—everyone is jumping on the bash King Kong epress—poor girl.
