Gillette is making waves with a photo it tweeted of an obese woman posing on a beach in a bikini, with her curves and cellulite on full display.
The razor maker last week posted the image of Anna O'Brien, a plus-size fashion, fitness and lifestyle blogger, under its @GilletteVenus handle, captioning it, "Go out there and slay the day." Some Twitter users said the ad glamorizies obesity and that Gillette is "irresponsibly" promoting an unhealthy lifestyle for profit.
"This woman will die of heat disease before @potus completes his second term. I hope she's just as happy and carefree for her last 6 years of life. Everybody should live themselves, but lets not call it healthy," one twitter user wrote.
Some commenters defended O'Brien while keeping their aim focused on Gillette. "There's no reason to be rude or unkind to someone who is obese and there is no reason @GilletteVenus should be encouraging life threatening obesity. This would also be true if they used an anorexic model. I wish the model they used well but Gillette should know better," @robbystarbuck said.

Sorry but as the ole bumper sticker read, “No Fat Chicks”
Many thumbs up from the “Get her a cheeseburger” crowd.
Gillette: Man-haters and promoters of morbid female obesity.
NOT “Plus sized.”
FAT!
pardon my ignorance, but is it even possible to shave skin with that much topography???
Whoever is in charge at Gillette is determined to destroy the brand.
I beat she has one Hell of a permanent heat rash.
Yeah, that pic is gonna sell a boatload of razors...
Make sure you don’t have any corn in your pocket if you are going to be around her. She’s liable to follow you home...
What is “heat disease”?
Needs flour
Her belly button looks like a bu++ crack.
Tacky and tasteless.
Some people can wear certain types of clothing while others cannot due to what we just witnessed, being overweight.
As a grandmother and someone no longer thin, there is no way I would wear something like that in public or in my own backyard.
I live by the old adage: The thing a fat girl and a moped have in common; They are both a lot fun, until your friends see you riding one.
That’s not “plus size”, that’s morbidly obese.
My only problem with this is that Gillette is stupid enough to believe that this ad would compel me or any right minded male to buy their product. Harry’s forever.
That’s a two piece bathing suit. But, it’s not a bikini thank God.
