The media coverage of Tyrese Halliburton in the NBA is shocking as well.

Hard to believe how liberally and openly body shape and size is commented on in the media when we know so much about the mental trauma and damage it does and without consequences too.

I googled Tyrese Halliburton during the break.

I have no idea who he is, but apparently he's put on 30 pounds since he did his Achilles.

So he's getting a lot of...

unwelcome attention for that.

Louise Bruton is with us as well.

And Louise, I know you've been listening to the conversation.

This all kicked off because CMAT felt the need to respond to people who were commenting on her appearance as well.

Why do you think it's happening?

And Louise, people understand the metrics of chart success.

But the Ivor Novello, for people who are not muses, explain the significance of that.

And do you think, you know, to Rob's point as well, when he was talking about getting taken less seriously, do you think that it's that little bit harder for her to push the boulder up the hill because of her body shape and because she has such a unique style and appearance as well?

Is it easier to be an Olivia Deen?

Yeah.

The pressure then, you know what I mean, that comes with it.

Do you expect that to get worse?

Because I know Elaine was talking about the earlier Elaine Crowley and Casey as well, that, you know, if we'd body positivity as a movement, maybe a few years ago, the return of Heroin Chic, you know, the 1990s back with a vengeance.

Is that a trend you've seen as well?

You say comparison is part of life.
