Are there differences if you are going to eat with men or women? Most will not have even considered it, but the one who does seem to have is Ágatha Ruíz de la Prada, who confirmed it herself during her time on journalist Pilar Vidal's podcast, Drama Queen.
The designer assured that she did not waste time having dinner with friends because she prefers to do so with men, with whom she eats less so as not to gain weight. In addition, she even assured that she prefers to stay at home to snack less, going to bed some nights with an empty stomach.
The designer's statements caused sparks to fly on social networks, where a debate was opened about the possible "fatphobia" hidden in her words and encouraging young people to maintain a bad relationship with food, also advocating fasting to maintain their thinness.
The criticism, however, does not seem to affect the aristocrat. More than anything, because she is not at all interested in the opinion that others may have about her words.
The reporters intercepted the designer in the middle of the street, who assured that she had not heard about the controversy. However, when they updated her, she assured that she had "nothing to clarify, except that she is the complete opposite of a" fatphobic. "What's more, the designer insisted:" Let's see if they forget about me for a while. "Let them forget about me a little," she asked.
Ágatha Ruíz de la Prada insisted that everything that could be said was "nonsense" and that she was the designer who "helped the most", since she has always made clothes for all sizes. "All my friends are chubby and I adore them," she said, settling the controversy.
The one who has been forced to give her opinion on the subject has been Pilar Vidal, to whom Laura Fa gave no respite in their meeting at Espejo Público last Monday. The Catalan accused her partner and host of the podcast of not having corrected the designer and her words, accusing her of "double standards" when Vidal herself confronted Carmen Lomana weeks ago because she considered that he had insulted her by relating obesity to some health problems.
"I was surprised by your attitude. First, because according to Ágatha, women have to be at the service of men to go out to dinner. Furthermore, they are totally fatphobic statements, because you are penalizing that, if you eat, you gain weight. It is a fatphobic message that they have had other characters to which we have responded, such as your confrontation with Carmen Lomana," Laura Fa recalled to Pilar Vidal.
Vidal, however, defended her friend, stating that "she only says that she wants to dine more with men than with women. It is her way of thinking, her way of being. She is not 'fatphobic' and she has demonstrated it on thousands of occasions. "She has never said anything to me that made me feel bad nor has she said it to anyone, otherwise she wouldn't be my friend."
