Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily Clarkson was left in tears during her latest podcast episode, as she discussed Luisa Zissman's recent Instagram post. Last month, the former BBC personality responded to online trolls who made cruel comments about her physique, after she shared two bikini pictures from her summer holiday.
In the snaps, The Apprentice star exuded confidence wearing a black and white bikini, but sadly faced a barrage of body-shaming comments beneath her post.
Responding to the critics, Luisa subsequently published an extensive statement defending her physique and fitness levels, while slamming "lazy" individuals and unhealthy habits.
Part of her message read: "Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald's loving lazy people fatties", before explaining that her body resulted from "energetic, health and mostly clean living".
"If you got off your a***s and stopped shoving s**t in your mouths you wouldn't be as fat and fat wouldn't be normal," she continued in her tirade.
"Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it's healthy."
She further commented: "Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it's not normal."
During Emily and Alex Light's Should I Delete That? podcast, the duo discussed their views on GLP-1 injections and Serena Williams' recent interview about using them.
Subsequently, they addressed Luisa's Instagram statement and described it as "violently mean". Emily, a body positivity advocate, expressed: "Luisa Zissman did those stories which I just thought 'bl***y hell'.
"They were horrible," Alex added, to which Emily concurred.
After Alex read out the BBC star's comments in full, Emily became emotional as she explained why she believes such words could be harmful.
She stated: "So what if someone is a bit fat and likes eating biscuits, so what?"
As she wiped away her tears, she continued: "Do you know how f*****g hard it is to just be alive, and like be a good mum, and a good person and a good friend, and do all of these things, and then you get talked about, and to, like that, and I just really thought we'd moved on and I thought we lived in a place that was better than this, where we wasn't so f*****g mean."
She went on to say: "Thinness is not better, like you're not better than anyone else because you didn't have a biscuit this morning, like congratulations that you look good in a bikini!"
"What is it they say? If the words you spoke were written on your skin, would you still be beautiful? No! You look like a f*****g monster."
After her co-star asked if she was okay, she responded: "I'm sad, it's just really f*****g sad, what I want my kids to grow up being scared of being fat? No! I want them to grow up being scared of being mean. That's a scary thing."
In a defiant statement, she concluded: "Be who the f**k you are, eat what you f*****g want, live your life!"
Alex continued to express that while she believes trolls shouldn't have targeted Luisa's body, she shouldn't have "taken aim" at people "living in larger bodies".
"It's just really mean isn't it," Emily added, before concurring with her co-star that it was "violently mean".
