"Some people are naturally thin and some people are naturally heavier. It doesn't mean that bigger is healthier, or much thinner is healthier, it's on an individual basis"
About this Quote
The subtext is also defensive in a way that feels very late-90s/early-2000s survivor: she’s carving out a public position that can’t be easily weaponized against her. If you say thin is healthy, you’re accused of shaming; if you say bigger is healthy, you’re accused of denial. Her solution is individualized realism: health isn’t a look, it’s a context. “On an individual basis” shifts the authority away from the crowd and back toward personal circumstance, genetics, and actual medical nuance.
Coming from a Spice Girl - a brand built on archetypes, images, and packaging - the restraint matters. It’s an attempt to unteach the fan habit of reading bodies as evidence, and to replace it with something less clickable: complexity.
