Gabourey Sidibe’s Mom Says Precious Wants To Slim Down

Posted on March 17th, 2010 - By Bossip Staff

Categories: Gabourey Sidibe, News, Rumor Control

According to Radar Online Gabourey Sidibe is ready to shed the extra weight that she put on for the Precious film.

More details once you pop the top.

According to Radar Online Gabourey Sidibe’s mother Alicia Tan Ridley says:

“The truth is Gabourey would like to lose some weight but the reality is that she would not have gotten the role of Precious if she had not been heavy,” Ridley said. “As her mom I would like to see my daughter healthy but if she didn’t lose weight that’s not a problem either – it runs in our family.”

We sure hope she does shed some of those pounds, it’s really unhealthy.

On a sidenote Gabourey’s mom is a star herself! She sings on NYC subways. Just peep this:

Mama ain’t half bad compared to some of the talentless people we write about everyday. SMH

    leave this girl alone

    dayemmmmmmmmmmmm

  • NC QUE

    I saw Precious last night at Popeyes in North Hollywood!

  • Glok.. Da Messiah!

    OK MOM WANTS THE BEST ,..SO DOES PRECIOUS RIGHT FOOT ,..LOOK AT IT, THEY LEANING TO THE SIDE OF HER LOSING WEIGHT TOO ,.. HER TOES ARE THEM IN THEM BOOTS FIGHTING FOR HER HAPPINESS AND THEIRS !

  • sh326

    She needs to lose that weight, that’s just unhealthy

  • Glok.. Da Messiah!

    SHE NEEDS A STYLIST AND …IF HER MOMS WAS SO CONCERNED THEN SHE SHOULDA TOLD HER TO NOT WEAR THEM CHEAP AZZ PAYLESS BOOTS TO AN AWARD SHOW….MOMS IZ SELFISH!

  • Don’tGiveAWhat

    I just hope it’s her choice for a better life, and not because of all the negativity Hollywood has thrown at her.

    ** On a side note: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but that boot is run so far the hell over, it’s ridiculous. ((Is it on the wrong foot or something?!?!?!))

    Atta Girl!!!

    That’s what I’m talking about!!!

    She’d be such an inspiration to all the BIG girls out there if she did it and did it the right way = eating healthy & exercising :-)

    Good Luck Gabby, I’m rooting for you – I know you can do it Big Momma…

  • Ki

    WOW!!!! SUMBODY GIVE THIS LADY A DEAL! it can happen!

  • Gimmeabreak78

    It’s about time Gabby gives up that “I’m happy looking like this routine”. It’s as inauthentic as Monique’s “fatter is better” act. A person’s joints and internal organs should not be under that type of stress.

  • The “Original” Brown Hornet

    MOMMA CAN BLOW!!!

    Check out her stayin on tune while directing people where to dorp the cash…

    She could win the next America’s Got Talent.

  • bluekid

    GOLK, YOU ARE ON FIRE UP IN HERE ROFL!
    GOOD FOR GABBY.

  • I’m Just Me…Keeping It Real Since: 1983. 29 Days. DAXN, Y’ALL SOME FICKLE AZZ PEOPLE!!

    But good for Gabby. Health is very important.

  • Ki

    Precious will lose weight. And look out ya’ll she and her moms are on the come up!

    “…beans don’t burn on the grill, took a whole-lot-of Tr-ryin’ ajust ta get up that hill. Now we’re up in the big league… As long as we live, it’s me and you, baby and ain’t nothin’ wrong wit dat…cuz we’re MOVIN’ ON UP!!”

  • jaysblazin

    Lord Jesus forgive for I’m bout to sin… That boot is screamin for dear life! But leave that girl alone, she will lose weight when she’s ready to. People go on diets everyday and look at what happens, they lose too much and gain twice as much back!

  • jaysblazin

    oh and mom’s can SAAAAANG :)

  • DC Cj

    Any loving mother would want their child to rid themselves of that kind of weight. Gabby is positioning herself for unwanted health issues should she continue to carry that kind of weight around.

    But that’s Gabby’s life and her choice. I pray that she lives her life for herself….whatever that be.

  • pynk

    Go Gabby!!!

  • drenk

    good for her, i hope she loses the weight and keeps it off and doesnt yoyo like kirstie alley

  • Soul Touch

    Good for Gabby…that dress is flattering in the pic by the way.

    Side note…it runs in the family is a lame excuse.

  • ?????

    Would like to ask Mr. know it all Glok.. Da Messiah where in Sam hell in this story does it say she was going to an awards show???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You are always so quick to talk shit!

  • cruzan trini

    Who wouldn’t want to lose weight if they were that fat?

    @ Glok (I refuse to call you Da Messiah)
    I noticed the boot too. That is some serious fat when it is from head to toe.

  • coradah

    Usually if you change your eating habits to healthy and exercise you will lose weight but it will take time

  • Glok.. Da Messiah!

    @LOL,…BLUEKID IM GLOK BABY,.. NOT GOLK!

    IJM… DO SEE WHAT I SEE,IM JUST CALLING HOW I SEE IT ..LMAO, YOU A TRIP SIS!

    @?????
    IT DOESNT SAY IT DINGBAT ..IM LOOKING AT THE RED CARPET,…AND THE BACKGROUND DOESNT READ IHOPS!

    @TRI CRUZAN ,..IM NOT THE MESSIAH NEVER SAID I WAS ,..BUT I BET YOU THINK THE CAT IN MY GRAVIE IZ !

  • Glok.. Da Messiah!

    TRINI CRUZAN,… MY BAD!

    AND STOP THINKING THIS CHIT GONNA HAPEN OVER NIGHT ,..AND I DIDNT KNOW SHE PUT ON WEIGHT FOR PRECIOUS,… I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY FOUND HER FAT AZZ LIKE THAT!

  • Tee

    Damn, moms can blow! Wow, she has a powerful voice.

  • u play 2 much

    glok was right on the money about them boots….ts obvious that moms is an attention junkie, at this point she is doing more interviews than gabourey

  • http://Bossip Tudae

    I hope it’s because she wants to and NOT because some filthy looking, sick looking DJ said she should. Howard Stern’s looking like he got AIDS and he’s trying to put the attention on someone else. Disrespecting Precious when he should be coming out with a TELL ALL on how he got HIV! That man is SICK IN THE HEAD and he LOOKS SICK! What a shame for HOWARD STERN! Precious is beautiful inside and she’s GOD’s Child on the outside! Like I said I hope she’s doing this because she wants to.

  • LISTENUP

    ITS RIDICULOUS THAT SHE EVEN ALLOWED HER TO GET THAT BIG IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HATE THE EXCUSE ABOUT RUNNING IN THE BLACK FAMILY. GET YOUR AZZ UP AND GO EXERCISE AND PUSH YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE TABLE. DON’T LET YOUR CHILDREN EAT ALL THAT FATTENING SOUL FOOD AND DON’T COOK IT FOR THEM. TAKE THEM TO A NUTRITIONIST AND A DOCTOR IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM AT ALL. THIS IS AN EARLY GRAVE FOR THIS FEMALE – FAT PEOPLE JUST DON’T LIVE LONG. REMEMBER NELL CARTER AND A FEW MORE, BIG PUN, CHRIS FARLEY, JUST TO NAME A FEW. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS FEMALE TO BE THIS OBESE AND THE CHARACTER DID NOT HAVE TO BE THIS BIG EITHER, BOOK OR NOT.

  • fu*ck the shyt on here

  • Why

    HER MOM CAN REALLY SING! She has talent!

    good point@Shawn of the LIVING
    BLACK PEOPLE quickly COME TOGETHER when its expressing negativity, that is one thing you don’t have to worry about, that is, until someone of another race says the same thing, then the Black People quickly revert to yelling RACISM.. SMH

  • Glok.. Da Messiah!

    IJM NOW YOU KNOW IF YOU EVER NEED A PLACE TO STAY,… COME AROUND MY WAY….IMMA LANDLORD GAWD DAMMIT!

    CHOCALATE SWEETNESS!
    GURL YOU CAN HIT ME ANYWHERE YOU WANT LOVE,LOL!

  • 4 Real

    Oh damn! I just realized who her mom is. I used to tell everyone about this woman whose voice was soooo crazy, that no matter where I was on my way to, I would stop in the subway and listen to her and give her money. I would hear her voice and go find her. I even bought her little CD b/c I just wanted to support. OMG. So crazy.

  • Tom the Negro

    They got to her and the pretence is already starting i.e “loose the weight she put on”. That fat girl and her fat mother caught some of those public punches. Her 15 minutes will be over soon because she is likely to become one of those “hollywood blacks” and one can be certain that they will remind everyone else how different they are from those “other black folks.
    Good luck to her anyway.

  • Tam Tam

    SHES REALLY TALENTED!!!!!

  • Somali Ninga

    She can do it if she takes this step-by-step! She should become a raw-foodist! She’ll be healthy in weeks!

  • pat

    i cant tell what the article is about…i cant take my eyes off DEM BOOTS…OMG

  • Queen R

    Ok! It’s about time. This young woman does not look healthy ya’ll everyone knows this and Howard Stearns put it on blast he was telling the truth. That woman is too young too big to be looking like that in hollywood. Jenny Craig may just pay her to lose that weight.

  • 4 Real

    I LOVE to hear her Mom sing Whitney songs.

  • cruzan trini

    @TRI CRUZAN ,..IM NOT THE MESSIAH NEVER SAID I WAS ,..BUT I BET YOU THINK THE CAT IN MY GRAVIE IZ !

    @ Glok

    Uh yeah and George Bush is the President of MENSA.

    Come on Glok, I’m usually dying laughing over here by your comments. What’s up today?

    I always say you should be a comedy writer. What do you do for a 9-5?

  • Rebirth of Grace

    OK……………I loved this girl in Precious and I think she can go as far as she wants. BUT Gabby, those shoes look like apple turnovers!!!!!!

  • http://bossip Keep it Real

    How many overweight obese black women do you know or have seen? How many of them have lost a substantial amount of weight? How many of them have kept it off. THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST.

  • Wendy

    wow…get it mom!
    And I’m proud of Gabourey wanting to lose the weight, its definitely not healthy and granted she was blessed to play Precious but that doesn’t mean her stardom will end..Its just the beginning, now she could play different roles other than the over weight stereotype..

  • Virginia News

    If her mama’s that big, there’s no way Gabourey is going to be ‘slim’. Gabourey should just say ‘eff y’all’ and continue to be herself. She will NEVER be hollywood’s idea of ideal. No reason for her to try to kill herself trying to reach something genetically impossible. She’ll only end up unhappy and dead.

  • real black is chocolate

    her mother looks better than her

  • dreamer40

    wtf…didn’t know lee daniels had her gain weight!!

  • Candid Canuck

    girth is a sign of opulance

  • Sanjor

    @Slide, you are so sweet! I’m pulling for her too!

  • http://google Dee Dee01

    Just hang in there Gabby, “time will bring about a change.” If Hollyweird is where u want to be–Do 2 things right off the bat, Hire a great Publicist(He/She can really put a positive spin on things) and a Personal Fashion Stylist (He/She performs a Wide variety of tasks and responsibilities) create your own Unique wardrobe styles. I Think U R Fabolous!

  • http://MelanieWashingtonCreateYourBadge Is It 5:00 yet? I’m ready to go home.

    Well good for her!

  • Chica

    QUESTION: Why do fat people marry other fat people and have babies????

  • that one girl

    Her mom’s voice is fire. I got chills listening 2 it. She sounds like sharon jones. I wish music was about the content these days. I hope gabby loses the weight 4 herself but it would be in her best interest health wise 2 lose a little just saying.

  • candygirl

    omg, that foot is hilarious!!!!and being fat doesn’t “run in the family” -what runs in that family is over/over eating

  • Interlude

    Her momma has alot of soul. I love her voice and her confidence. Keep doing what you do Alicia.

  • that one girl

    I know I’m going 2 hell 4 writing this but if those boots could talk.

  • coco

    here’s the thing, she’s not gonna lose the weight unless she wants to lose the weight. no, it’s not healthy and it will definitely keep her from getting other gigs. people can deny that all they want but everyone knows it’s all about looks in hollyweird. that fat is beautiful stuff is some BS & is just an excuse to keep the weight on. lose the weight and save your life!

  • tb

    Geeze, those shoes look like they are crying for mercy.

  • Rihanna’s Sharp n Pointy Witchy Fingernails Took The Oath

    @that one girl

    what gives you the right? you look no different than Gabby.

    see, I told you, Gabby, big girls hate you because they can’t live vicariously through you. They want to live through beyonce or rihanna, because they are everything they are not. proof is “that one girl”

  • Rihanna’s Sharp n Pointy Witchy Fingernails Took The Oath

    @ that one girl

    if boots could talk, yours would say the same darn thing!

    I Can Eat A Ham All By Myself!

  • wingette

    While her mother was singing in the subway, Gabby was eating @ SUBWAY! LOL!

  • GET REAL

    Her feet are too fat for those boots. I agree with TB. They are screaming for mercy.

  • First Timer

    whats really good with Gabourey’s left foot in that pic?? Is it supposed to be that way?? And yea she definitely needs to loose that weight. I understand she got that roll due to her size. But they stopped filming like a year ago.. so she kinda needs to get past that kind of thinking. Loose some weight and try and you will get different roles.

  • juliemango

    Gabby’s mom may get a gospel deal!!!Gabby should lose the weight tho unless its gonna be more lucrative 2 all!!!

  • lt

    wow. now they see she needs to lose weight. i believe she would have gotten the role regardless if she was over weight or not. she got skills.

  • !!!!!

    SHE CAN AND SHE WILL.

  • 2dimplzs

    Good for her for wanting to lose the weight. It’ll only add years to her life and she’ll feel soooo much better and will be able to breathe easier.

    I’m not understanding this. Is the mother saying that Gabby gained a lot of weight to get the part? She was already big to begin with! And I’m sorry but saying “It runs in the family” is NO EXCUSE FOR BEING OBESE!!!! Someone in that family needs to break the cycle, and if they are all big in their family then they ALL need to work on losing weight and getting healthy as a FAMILY!

  • Sharkkeeper

    THAT WOMAN CAN SING!!!! I was pleasantly surprised. I’m still wondering why she is singing in the subway station, but she has talent and soul…it’s hard to sing Gladys Knight songs because Gladys has so much soul and drive

  • chi

    Talent runs in the family too. Nice voice Gabby’s mom. We want you around Gabby!

  • MS.Minter609

    i think her mom do has her best intrest n yea shes yung i wudnt want to her have a heart attack or stroke . . . n is it me or her mom sound betta then most these bitties out now whoop whoop go momma dats real singing
