Blanche Devereaux has always valued her appearance, and those around her. Her devastating good looks is something she is proud of, while also using her feelings about weight and appearance to judge others. When her daughter Becky comes to visit after 4 years of not speaking, Blanche (and Sophia) waste no time bringing up her weight. And her boyfriend Jeremy doesn't stop it- he does it too!

This St. Olaf News deals with Fat Shaming in The Golden Girls world, particularly Blanche nd her daughter Becky.

Please note, we are only dealing with the topic inside of THIS episode. We know there is a larger conversation about the topic for the overall show.
