Winslet to sue Grazia over diet claim

By Press Gazette

Kate Winslet has said she plans to take legal action against women's weekly Grazia over an article about her weight.

The article claimed the Oscar-nominated actress, often seen as a role model for curvy women, was visiting a "diet doctor".

Speaking out on the red carpet at the BAFTAS, Winslet said: "I'm very upset – it is categorically untrue."

Winslet, who has often spoken out against skinny stars and size zero models, said the report gave women who look up to her as a role model the wrong impression.
