Boris Targets Obese with Tweets

Boris Kodjoe loves women and wants all his sisters to be beautiful, happy and most importantly, healthy. Our favorite hunky actor went on a Twitter spree after suffering a nightmare about “300-pound women in thongs gnawing on chicken wings while grinding on [him].”

Scary? Maybe so. But that prompted him to explain to himself ASAP.

He’s essentially asking women to stop making excuses about their unhealthy lifestyles.

“#FatExcuses ‘Don’t have time to exercise’ If u have time 2 watch ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ u have time 2 do jumping jacks and crunches”  he tweeted. “#FatExcuses ‘Men like thick girls’ There’s a difference between a healthy and sexy goddess (easy Boris!) and an unhealthy obese one.”

Though he’s got a point, perhaps this conversation shouldn’t have played out so harshly. It’s a great idea to promote healthy living, but how about using some tact when speaking on such a sensitive subject like weight?

Do you think Kodjoe’s tweets were insensitive?
