That’s one of the meme someone shared on instagram.Gabourey said;
‘I, a plus sized, dark-skinned woman, had a love scene on primetime television,’ I had the most fun ever filming that scene even though I was nervous. But I felt sexy and beautiful and I felt like I was doing a good job.
‘I’m very proud of the work we all did to make that scene a great opening for the episode. I keep hearing that people are “hating” on it. I’m not sure how anyone could hate on love but that’s okay. You may have your memes.’
