They are not flattering on you. You\u2019re an attractive lady, love the 80s hair, but your legs are distracting every time you walk on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ouch.<\/p>\n<p>Dean, who is a size ten and gorgeous, decided not to ignore this mean comment.\u00a0 Instead she wrote back:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFox doesn\u2019t dress me. I dress myself. I\u2019m sorry if you don\u2019t like my legs. I\u2019m grateful I have them to walk with. You\u2019re right. I don\u2019t look like the typical person on TV, and I\u201dm proud to be a size 10. Imagine that! You can always turn the channel if you\u2019re offended by my huge legs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What a perfect response.\u00a0 After she posted her response, people gave her much positive feedback.\u00a0 (Thank goodness!\u00a0 She\u2019s not even close to fat!)\u00a0 But one commenter stole the show.\u00a0 Apparently, Dean was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis ten years ago, and her first nurse, Jen, decided to make a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDear Janice, I LOVE those strong legs. I LOVE that you stand tall, walk, run, squat, lunge, skip, jump and hop on those legs. You are blessed and have a blessing to have STRONG legs!!! Wear skirts proudly and show your STRONG legs!!! Love you, my angel.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow.\u00a0 That\u2019s powerful.\u00a0 Dean wrote, \u201c\u201cBecause with MS, I could lose my ability to walk literally any day. So I\u2019ve learned to be proud of my legs, and am grateful for them every day of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People need to stop judging women on their looks.\u00a0 Meteorology has\u00a0nothing in the world to do with the size of someone\u2019s legs.\u00a0 This heartwarming story reminds us that we should be thankful for the health God has given us.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Image Credit: Dean\u2019s Instagram<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Hat Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/article\/lifestyle\/2018\/01\/10\/fox-meteorologists-body-shaming-story-has-a-heartbreaking-twist\/23330058\/?utm_source=zergnet.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=zergnet_2421636&amp;ncid=txtlnkusaolp00001361\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">AOL<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I hope the commenter saw her response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":830,"featured_media":16467,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fox Host Body-Shamed for Having &#039;Big Legs&#039;
