Karolina Kurkova Fat? Thyroid Disorder Blamed for “Weight Problem”

Posted on: January 9th, 2009 by: Andrea10 comments

Karolina Kurkova, voted Sexiest Woman in the World by E!, has come under intense scrutiny for her recent weight gain, with some press reports calling her “too fat.”

The 24-year-old was reportedly kept off pre-show press materials for the 2008 Victoria’s Secret fashion show because the final decision to let her strut her stuff wasn’t made until the last minute.

According to an insider, the Czech beauty’s weight issues are caused by a medical condition that affects 27 million Americans – the thyroid disorder hypothyroidism.

Although Kurkova has definitely put on a little weight, I think calling her “fat” is a stretch.

Take a look at the photos and video below and let us know what you think.

Video and pictures from the Cia Maritima fashion show in Sao Paula where Kurkova was labeled “too fat” can be seen below. She opens and closes the show, and and a third walk can be seen at 7:35. This is the point photo stills were taken, pointing out Karolina’s back fat and cellulite.

She’s obviously much better now than in 2005. Get real, when you can see the bones it’s ugly and a sign of bad health. Stop the anorexic dictatorship, for dog’s sake!

NOT GOOD. She really has gained too much. NOT Sexy anymore. That’s totally fat.

she is not fat whatsoever! so what, maybe she could tone up a little bit more…but i’d like to see what all these people who are calling her fat look like! i can guarantee they wouldn’t be as hot as her even if she gained 10 more pounds

She is NOT fat.

However, for the type of industry she is in, she should look better. People can say she looks “fine”, but she’s not paid to look fine. She’s paid to look pretty damn near perfect, so yes, she could tone up, or drop the fat or whatever.

But I still think she looks beautiful.

I don’t think she’s fat, but I understand that my definition of the word is completely different than the modeling world’s definition. She isn’t as toned (or bony) as she was before but she’s getting older too. When you’re 18-20 your body is different than when it is later–in your mid-late 20s.
