The actress has often struggled with her weight and has previously opened up about her tough childhood to American chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

Speaking in 2009, Gabourey said "My first diet started when I was six-years-old. I’ve never been a small girl.”

Talking about her high school days, she said "Junior high school is a battlefield. It sucked for me. High school sucked for me. I didn’t get good with myself until I was like, 25 years old. Tell her to hold strong. Tell her to hold on, but it’ll be worth it, honestly."
