In an exclusive interview with Glamour magazine, Academy Award-nominated actress Salma Hayek admitted that she suffered from diabetes during her pregnancy. The news of her temporary bout with diabetes has the entertainment industry shocked and wanting answers.
In what has already been a turbulent year for Hollywood following the Halle Berry public relations disaster, another mega-celebrity has come forward to reveal her struggles with the disease.
Avon, for which Hayek has served as spokesperson since 2004, announced that it has begun an internal investigation into whether or not Hayek had diabetes while representing the cosmetics giant.
"My concern is for the children," said Danny Joe Brown, Avon district sales manager in Florence, Alabama. "What sort of role model goes out and gets diabetes?"
The Producers Guild of America has also expressed its disappointment by rescinding the Celebration of Diversity Award given to Hayek by the trade organization in 2003.
"I, for one, feel duped," said PGA Vice Chairman Steve Holland. "I mean, I knew she was Mexican, but diabetic too? She had us all fooled!"
Friends of the star such as Penelope Cruz and Matthew Perry have rushed to her defense, saying that she only tried diabetes once.
Edward Norton, however, with whom she dated from 1999 to 2003, has refused to comment, though it's been reported that he's asked that she return his Yale sweatshirt immediately and have it diabetically sanitized.
*writer's note: This is in no way a knock on Salma Hayek. Nor is it a knock on Glamour magazine.
Several other media outlets out there, chomping at the bit for a juicy headline, feel the need to spin the news. It's pretty desperate journalism, if you ask me. Suddenly, Salma Hayek is confessing that she had diabetes. She's revealing that she had diabetes. She's admitting she had diabetes as one would admit to Nazism, a meth addiction or, uh, involvement in a prostitution scandal. All she said was that she had diabetes. Period.
Why must it be an admission? Did she do something wrong?
This has to be a joke. I can't imagine Salma would be so irresponsible to end up with diabetes.
I wish I never started on insulin, now I can never quit! LOL
I am making fun of this because I know most of us are mad about it.
Wow. I wonder if they'll bring charges against her.
LMAO! I just read George's comment. That devil, Insulin. There's nothing you can do to break the dependency.
OMG!! Went nd got diabetes. Tried it out once. Santize a sweet because of diabetes. I am shocked and highly mad. I wish i could just try it and let it go. OMG!!! Some folks are so stupied. This is so unreal.
From one of those articles: "Salma Hayek confessed to April’s issue of Glamour magazine that not only did she suffer from diabetes during her pregnancy, she was hoping for a son!" GASP!!!!
How very brave of her to talk about it.
Hilarious post. Some priceless comments, too. I especially love it when people just can't see the tongue poking through the cheek...
The only thing missing from that article is "She didn't inhale or actually inject the insulin. It was just a contact high."
