While she didn’t have to explain herself to anyone, Tia previously revealed that the extra pounds were a result of cooking more frequently for her show, Tia Mowry At Home.

The former star of “Instant Mom” recently visited her sister Tamera on her daytime talk-show The Real where she talked about her new podcast “Mostly Mom” and a topic of discussion included body-shamers.

“I am a size six, I’m proud of what I am,” she said. “This woman said that I was fat. And I’m like, wow, the average size in America is a size 12/14, and so I guess you’re calling a lot of women fat, which I think is really ridiculous.”

Tia added, “…People have to be responsible for their actions. I have to be responsible for what I do and what I say on Instagram, but not only that, it’s about social media bullying. […] This is a huge problem.”

Do you think it’s fair that celebs feel pressured to maintain a certain weight?
