We are their consumers and the reason they exist (they can't have a product if there is no demand) and if we don't support them when they treat others harshly they will listen or go out of business. If we ignore the bullying of celebrities, we allow bullying. If we continue to let these people get away with shaming celebrities we support the shaming of our bodies as well. We look up to these celebrities, they have helped us, made us laugh and cry through entertainment we enjoy. We need to put a stop to others trying to bring them down. Shaming and body terrorism is never okay, ever. Just like Demi Lovato called out Disney for body shaming, we as fans, need to protect celebrities and ourselves from others humiliating their and our body.

When celebrities claim to be working out (ex.Marilyn Manson) magazines and fans assume they are doing so to lose weight But almost 5 artciels making a comment about how "chubby he got" and how it's good he's working out to "lose weight"(turns out, he just wants to fight better).Magazines and fans always need to make comments about weight, weight loss and weight gain. They always need to make comments about a person getting older and how they don't look as "youthful" anymore (what does that even mean? Age doesn't make you youthful, attitude does)
Lets not allow magazines, and people to get away with it. Take the pledge to show magazines, and the media that body-shaming is not okay. Commeniting on weight loss or gain, or how old or the rate of how beautiful someone is (or isn't) is not okay. Rating someone's beauty is not okay. They need to stop body policing and making a person feel less than amazing.
Some places/things you can boycott and write to:
Rolling Stone MagazineStar Magazine
The National Enquirer
Observer - "Marilyn Manson finally.. "- agism and a bit of body policing.
Write a letter to them. It could be about how they lost a fan because of their comments about "so-and-so" weight gain (for example). You could include comments about how it is body terrorism and it is not okay to shame anyone for gaining weight (for example).

By [writing, saying,.] things like this you are supporting body terrorism by shaming another person's body. These comments contribute to the [sexism, ageism, weightism,, slut shaming,etc.] that society is trying to overcome and exterminate. I will be [boycotting, not supporting] [the company/person who say or wrote these things,etc] until you realize how awful making these sort of comments is. Stop making them.
Thank you!"
Stop buying /visiting their site and let them know via social media why. it can be simple and short. Here is an example.I put ideas in brackets [] you can put in what is appropriate for the situation.

Write a bad review about the site/magazine/show/etc..
