People often say that women usually only hate other women so much because they’re insecure (I will not deny that this is true, pretty bitches get a lot of hate), and lately it seems like Kate Upton is getting a lot of that pretty girl hate. The 21-year-old bombshell has recently been hated on by Kanye West (but who hasn’t?), the chick who picks the outfits for Victoria’s Secret models, and now, former supermodel, Carol Alt.
It seems like most people in the world of high fashion thinks the busty model is, essentially, boring as fuck and not classy enough to be a model, nor do they see what the big deal about her is. Clearly, none of these people have talked to any pubescent boys recently.
First, let’s start with Kanye, who you’d think would be more supportive of a woman who is mostly just famous for her luscious curves.
A few months back, Kate posed on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine done up like Marilyn Monroe, which really pissed Kanye off. Kanye slammed Vanity Fair’s choice and said:
[Vanity Fair] want to say that Kate Upton is Marilyn Monroe. Kate Upton ain’t Marilyn Monroe, Kim is Marilyn Monroe.
I know I’ve made this joke before, but like Gretchen Wiener with “fetch”, Kanye really needs to stop trying to make Kim Kardashian happen. I don’t see how either of these ladies is the next Marilyn (do either of them have an ounce of acting talent? Because Marilyn actually did), but I totally get more Marilyn vibes from Kate.
Kanye defended his statement by saying that Marilyn was controversial and Kate isn’t. At all. She’s basically like a big breasted scoop of vanilla ice cream, you know? But it’s not just Kanye that’s throwing some shade at Kate, the fashion industry itself is throwing her some Sophia Loren side eye at Kate’s Jayne Mansfield chi-chis.
Editor of 10 magazine and Victoria’s Secret stylist Sophia Neophitou recently said she’d never hire someone like Upton to model for Victoria’s Secret and then threw out this major diss:
She's like a Page 3 girl. She's like a footballer?s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.
In case you don’t know what a Page 3 girl is (it’s a London thing), here is an example:
Basically, they’re the kind of bitches that Hugh Hefner and Charlie Sheen would date, and, as sexy as I find Kate Upton, I kind of get the comparison. However, I think a lot of Victoria’s Secret models would probably look like that if they gained like 20lbs. Let’s be real about Neophitou’s diss: she’d totally put Kate in a VS show if that fat bitch lost some weight, am I right? (I hate to feel a need to point out my sarcasm here, but some people are slow).
However, the biggest Kate hate comes from former mega supermodel, Carol Alt. Carol said:
I think Kate is a product of great media hype. Without Sports Illustrated, I'm not sure she would?ve made it in the industry as a high fashion model. Because she is more of a large size model. And even if I've seen her in person, and I don't think she's in any way fat or overweight or anything; she's just more large-sized than fashion models are.
Just for reference, here is a non-photoshopped picture of Kate Upton:
And these are traditional VS models:
You’re right, Alt, compared to “high fashion” models, Upton is a total lard ass. I mean, she’s definitely at LEAST a size 4. Someone put this girl in fat camp! Kate Upton be all like:
Well, Kate Upton, it looks like you’ll never be a Victoria’s Secret Angel or walk in the runways of Paris. Looks like you’ll have to keep settling for Sports Illustrated covers and being one of the sexiest, most sought after bikini models in the world. Hang in there, girl.

The problem with Kate is that she is NOT curvy, she is, in fact, fat. She looks very sloppy in the middle, I can’t even imagine what her body will turn into in 5-10 year’s time because of gravity, age, genetics, diet, etc. At 21, she already looks like she’s had 5 kids and is in her mid-40’s. Curvy by definition is someone with an hourglass shape, think Marilyn Monroe, Sofia Loren, Salma Hayek, Beyonce, and yes, unfortunately, Kim Kardash (none of those are skinny ladies). In order to be shapely or curvy, however, you need a waist and Ms Upton is missing just that. Without Photoshop, she would not have a career. It’s not about being a size 0 or -4 but being proportionate. The “curves” people talk about are just her giant cans, the waist and hips are MIA and it doesn’t look nice. Seen her do a runway and all I could look at were the jiggly love handles and the sloppy thighs and it’s cringe-worthy! There just isn’t anything elegant about her body or her walk, sorry. And quite honestly, she has that Apple figure that has been repeatedly linked with cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, diabetes, to name a few. And I already know the response, “jealous”, “you’re just envious”, “you’re a jealous bitch!” blah blah blah… but I’m not, not remotely. If there’s a body out there I’m jealous of it’s Sofia Loren’s and Beyonce’s.

Wow! Don’t know I wound up on this page, but this rag is the most prejudiced, biased, ugly thing I can imagine. Hopefully, not all this generation are learning from you. I did read, how easy it is to make fun of others, hiding behind a keyboard. Meditate and be good to one another. That’s the right and cool thing!! Peace

She’s not curvy, she’s fat! Blah blah blah……. Shut up bitches, if she wasn’t anything special, she wouldn’t land those top magazine covers. Her image is the future, you don’t need a waist to create a certain aura. And guys like her, so what the fuck? I like her she’s special and so am I. If you’re better than her with all your curves, why are you not the one on the covers? Hateful ugly jealous bitches everywhere!

So glad I am not the only one that sees how out of shape this girl is. She has the body of an out of shape, middle aged woman. Horrible look for a young woman. She needs to workout, lift weights and put on some muscle. She claims to workout but I think she just goes to the gym to drink smoothies and jiggle her boobs. Believe me, there is no jealousy here. I have no problem with a woman being admired for being beautiful. The problem is that she isn’t. She is the most overrated model ever.

I agree… I can acknowledge a beautiful woman when I see one. I give credit when it’s due… Kate Upton is pretty.. but she’s not a classic beauty .She’s just there.. Her body is frumpy. Jealous? No.. I’m not jealous. I can think of a ton of more people who deserve to be in the position Kate is in.. to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if she handed out a couple bjs to get to be there she is. sorry not sorry..
