Recently, Kate Winslet sued a magazine for reporting that she saw a diet Doctor to lose weight. An announcement this week states that she has won her settlement from Grazia magazine, a nice sum of 3,000 British pounds.
She has been outspoken about her dissatisfaction with the way the media portrays women and, fittingly, has donated the winnings to an eating disorders organization. beat, UK’s leading eating disorder charity, is the lucky recipient.
"Kate said at the time that she would donate her winnings to an eating disorder charity and that is what she has done," said Mary George of beat (In the News, 2007).
This gracious step has been highly publicized, as Winslet has been an advocate for a more positive body image for young women. She worries her own daughter will develop feelings of shame of her body because of the publics fascination with thinness.
