DeLaria is often called “Butch” for her masculine build, but she has no nickname problem. One of her tattoos even spells out the word, showing how much she embraces the title.
She is also known for appreciating her body, calling herself a “Proud Fat woman.” The actress has always been seen as a confident self-accepting woman and a figure of inspiration by many.
Talking To EOnline during the period when she had already adopted a diabetes-friendly diet post-2014, she emphasized the importance of channeling inner beauty and bashed Hollywood’s obsession with thinness.
"When I lecture at universities I always say, 'Look, I got laid just as much as I did when I was 50 lbs. heavier than I am right now.' So, frankly, you're beautiful no matter what your size is...This obsession we have with thinness in our industry and in the world needs to [go away]," DeLaria said to EOnline.
