The Heavy
The Vogue ‘Diet Mom’ Starts Book Tour, Says the Glossy Is Partly To Blame for Backlash
Remember that super controversial article that Dara-Lynn Weiss wrote for Vogue about putting her seven-year-old daughter on a calorie-restricted diet? And how that article landed her a book deal? Well, the book, titled The Heavy, hits stores today and Weiss is making the rounds to promote it. While Weiss remained silent after the intense backlash following the publication of the article in Vogue (Jezebel called Weiss "one of the most fucked up, selfish women to ever grace the magazine's pages,") she's been chatting up a storm to the New York Times, The Cut, and the Today Show.
