Queen Latifah angry being considered fat by hers BMI numbers

[get these nets]

Her x-rays look like anyone else ain't no such thing as big boned

Yeah.
What I find a bit odd about some of the takes here is that people are acting as if a random person just walked up to QL in the street and said this to her.

A personal trainer that QL screened and hired to design a fitness regimen said this to her. Who is also of African descent, and is obviously talented and experienced if she's being hired by millionaire Hollywood vets like QL.

The trainer responds

UPDATE Tuesday, June 7 6:30 P.M.: Jeanette Jenkins, a trainer and health coach who says she worked with Queen Latifah, tells Glamour in a statement: “I did not measure Queen Latifah’s BMI. I do not use BMI charts. Those charts are based on your height to weight ratio, and they do not provide enough information. I measured her body fat percentage using two methods: bioelectrical impedance and with calipers. Body fat percentage is not the same as BMI. I then told her that she was over 36% body fat, which is in the obese category and the amount of body fat she carried at that time put a stress on her heart and increased her risk of heart disease. These are scientific facts backed by research from the CDC. Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide and when you are in the overweight or obese category for body fat percentage you increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and the list goes on. The clips on the Red Table Talk do not reflect the truth of the actual fitness assessment I conducted.”

This her?

That’s why they be dying of heart failure at 21

The steroids might have something to do with that.

But she is fat.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

She's on the tall side though she's just a big person. I read that according to BMI LeBron is considered overweight too. He stays in the gym

You must not have read the thread because the trainer debunked this being about outdated BMI measurements

She said 36% of her bodyweight is fat using calipers lol.

That personal trainer was also her significant other so that taints the trainer-client dynamic.

"Dana, are you following the meal plan I gave you?"
"Baby, I'm just in the middle of a lot of stuff right now, I'm a get to it."

"Dana, this is important for your health!"
"Come here babe, sit on my lap."
"You said you love for who I am, not what I look like, right?"
"You know I'm working to take care of us. That includes getting your training business off the ground, right?"
"I said I'm a get to it and I will. You trust me, baby?"
"Alright. I know you want me to be healthy and I love that you hold me down like that."
"I'll tell you what. Take the Black AMEX. Go buy you something sexy, cuz tonight I'm taking you to Chez Whitey. Your favorite spot."
