Not everyone is in love with Ugly Betty

by Dorothy

Jamie Pressly

Jamie Pressly star of NBC’s My Name is Earl recently insulted Ugly Betty in an interview. She stated that the sitcom “bores the hell out of me”. Jamie also blasted the sitcom for having what she considers double standards about plastic surgery, and “purposefully big-upping the ugly fat girl to make everybody feel great.” Interestingly enough both My Name is Earl and Ugly Betty air at the same time in the USA.

No offense to Jamie (who I love as Earl’s ex-wife) but if she really made these statements it seems to me that she doesn’t get the point of the show. In my opinion Ugly Betty does not glamorize plastic surgery or the types of people who get it, instead it mocks them! As for her statement about the “ugly fat girl” once again she missed the mark. Betty is neither ugly nor fat just not the typical skinny blonde.
