Aidy Bryant talks about 'I Feel Pretty' criticisms

Actor Aidy Bryant has responded to the criticism of her new film " I Feel Pretty", saying that it does not promote fat-shamming and fat-phobia in the society.

In the film, directed by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, actor Amy Schumer plays an everyday insecure woman who after falling off her bike during a spin class, wakes up with a newfound confidence.

Bryant recently shared a picture that features her with Schumer and another co-star Sasheer Zamata on her Instagram page.

One user wrote on their pic, "I think you're great Aidy Bryant, but from the previews I've seen of this movie, it's a huge step backwards for the feminist movement... I won't be supporting a movie that continues to perpetuate fat phobia and the notion that for a woman to be confident she needs to look a certain (read: thin, white, rich) way. The previews are extremely problematic and as a fat woman in Hollywood."
