The Gossip's Beth Ditto has praised actress Keira Knightley after the latter complimented the former for having an "amazing body". Ditto says such statements send an important message to young girls that all shapes and sizes can be sexy.
Ditto told reporters: "The way I feel about Keira Knightley is that even if she has an eating disorder, it's good for people to hear her say something like that. I don't judge women for feeling they have to be thin, because they're conditioned their whole lives to 'hate yourself, hate yourself, hate yourself'. I judge the world for being so anti-female".
It should be noted that Knightley has long denied have an eating disorder, and successfully sued the Daily Mail when they implied she did.
