Ronda Rousey, who competes at 135 lbs, usually goes up to over 150 lbs in between fights. While doing her media rounds, the UFC champ recently shared a story about how she was in a fitting for a TV commercial, when someone made a remark about her weight.
So instead of shedding extra pounds for the actual filming, Rousey told the New York Times that she did the exact opposite.
"Because somebody said something really rude to me, I came into the shoot purposely way heavier," Rousey said. "And the campaign ended up being amazing, even though I was heavier just to make a point."
"I swear to God. If anyone calls me fat one more time in my life, I’m going to kill them."
Rousey didn't name which specific company the commercial was for, but noted that her recent Carl's Jr. ad doesn't compare in terms of cleavage or breast size.
The 28-year-old has been known for her now trademarked 'DNB' term, which was used to campaign against body shaming. Rousey admits she used to be ashamed of having big arms or a more muscular physique during her judo days, but not anymore.
"If I can represent that body type of women that isn’t represented so much in media, then I’d be happy to do that," she said.
"We seem to be in this conflicting era for women, where women are doing so amazingly and taking over the athletic world, but we’re also in a time where... How can I really put it? That women without any skills that freeload are being glorified. That’s something I was raised not to be. That you’re supposed to contribute to the world, not consume from it"
To summarize: Don't do nothing (b*tch), don't judge other body types, and if you want to continue living, don't ever call Rousey fat.
