40 COMMENTS [BLANK_AUDIO] 00:02 02:44 Kate Winslet is opening up about women changing their appearance through weight loss drugs and injectables, and she feels very strongly about it. “Oh, it’s terrifying,” Winslet said in an interview with The Sunday Times published over the weekend. “I think no, not you! Why?” Advertisement “It is devastating,” the actor added. “If a person’s self-esteem is so bound up in how they look, it’s frightening.” “And it’s puzzling because I have moments when I think it’s better, when I look at actresses at events dressed how they want, whichever shape,” she shared. “But then so many people are on weight-loss drugs. It’s so varied. Some are making choices to be themselves, others do everything they can to not be themselves.” “And do they know what they are putting in [their bodies]? The disregard for one’s health is terrifying,” Winslet added. “It bothers me now more than ever. It is fucking chaos out there.” Advertisement She explained that from her perspective, “My favorite thing is when your hands get old.” Winslet attends the "Goodbye June" World Premiere at the Curzon Mayfair on Dec. 3 in London.

Some of the most beautiful women I know are over 70, and what upsets me is that young women have no concept of what being beautiful actually is,” the Oscar-winner added. Winslet speaks candidly about issues surrounding women’s bodies, as the “Titanic” actor faced intense scrutiny about her own appearance after catapulting to fame in the ’90s. Advertisement “I was consistently told I was the wrong shape,” Winslet told Vogue back in 2023. “I was consistently told I would have to settle for less.” The actor previously shared in another Sunday Times interview that she was once instructed to audition for “fat girl” parts in acting school, and people were still cruel when she got to Hollywood.

More from the Hamas Network: In legal settlement, UC Berkeley acknowledges discriminating against Israeli prof California university’s chancellor apologizes to Dr. Yael Nativ for faculty member blocking her job application due to her Israeli identity, says she will be welcomed back By Luke Tress Follow 10 December 2025, 6:45 pm Share 8 Illustrative: A pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student protest at the University of California, Berkeley's Sather Gate October 16, 2023.

(AP Photo/Michael Liedtke) The University of California, Berkeley, acknowledged discriminating against an Israeli academic in a legal settlement announced on Wednesday. Dr. Yael Nativ, an Israeli dance researcher and sociologist, filed a lawsuit against Berkeley in August, alleging discrimination based on her Israeli identity. The lawsuit said that Nativ had been a visiting professor at Berkeley, teaching a course about contemporary Israeli dance, prior to the October 2023 Hamas invasion of Israel and had been invited to return to the campus, but that Berkeley rescinded the offer after the start of the Gaza war.

California state civil rights protections and Berkeley’s nondiscrimination policy prohibit discrimination based on national origin. The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, a legal advocacy group that often represents Jews in cases of alleged campus discrimination, represented Nativ in the lawsuit.

She is owed the apology I will provide on behalf of our campus. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Nativ back to Berkeley to teach again,” Lyons said in a Wednesday statement. Berkeley also affirmed that one of its employees violated the university’s discrimination policy, that its policies do not allow discrimination against Israelis, and that it will not allow anti-Israel discrimination going forward, according to a copy of the settlement shared with The Times of Israel.
