Walsh’s Torment Over ‘flat-chested’ Comments
By WENNThursday, October 1, 2009
KATE WALSH learned how to fight body criticism in Hollywood at a young age - by beating up school bullies who teased the actress about her small chest.
The Grey’s Anatomy beauty was tormented by her classmates for not developing like other curvy girls her age.
Walsh didn’t stand for the teasing - and fought her bullies until they stopped making fun of her.
She says, “I had problems. I would sometimes get in fights. I would beat up boys. There was a phase (when) they used to call me ‘flat chest’. It used to be a thing: ‘Katie Walsh is flat-chested!’ And I (told bullies), ‘You’re on my list.’”
But Walsh insists her mean streak has died down.
She laughs, “That’s one of the most embarrassing stories of my life… I have a problem with man-violence.”
