Giulia Becker Stops Making Jokes About Her Body

The entertainer aims to change perceptions by ending self-deprecating humor about her weight.

  • Giulia Becker has decided to stop making jokes about her weight, a practice she used to preempt criticism from others.
  • Becker expressed concern that the wrong audience was laughing at her self-deprecating humor, which contributed to a negative self-image.
  • She emphasized that people who haven't experienced her reality, such as those weighing 60 kilos, often don't understand the impact of such jokes.
  • Becker, known for her award-winning podcast 'Drinnies' with Chris Sommer, does not want to give others permission to make jokes about overweight individuals.
