OK, but here’s a few different way of looking at this. Mary Pierce has the resources that most people don’t have which means she has resources for a dietitian and nutritionist several personal trainers and anything else that she needs. I for one don’t believe that anyone should be body shamed especially someone who was was once a top athlete however let’s not act like she didn’t have the resources to at least closely maintain what she was before if she chose to.

Not to mention the way hormones wreak havoc women’s health and wellness at Mary’s age. Side note, I worked at the WTA when Mary was playing and she was lovely.

Meanwhile all the guys on the internet making these comments have never been in shape a day in their lives.

People were cruel about Serena and Venus’s bodies while they were playing and winning - so never surprised when they are cruel to former athletes

As women-We cannot be too thin, too muscular, too strong, too weak, too fast, too slow, smile too much, frown too much, we cannot be TOO. She is an amazing athlete past and present.

She looks normal! She's middle-aged and successful. Plus she's more than earned the right to enjoy life and do whatever she wants. Celebrate her.

She looks happy- I hate all these sad people who comment about looks.

This is incredibly ridiculous. I just looked up the recent photos of her and she looks very elegant and not by any means morbidly obese. Which even if she was, is nobody's business.

Don’t have a clue who she is but I just saw she is 51… menopause is a really difficult (and normal!) stage of life for some women to navigate.

I always gave Mary so much credit. Her father was extremely abusive when she was a young g player. I believe she banned him from being at all her meets. She was a lovely person 💝🎾🎾🎾🎾

She's 51 now. The expectation that she will look like she did (or very close) when she won the French Open at 25 is wild. She also had an incredibly controlling father/manager for her developmental years and most of her pro career - that kind of diet restriction and heavy training can rebound in unpredictable ways during perimenopause. Her career can stand on its own without needing commentary on her appearance.

The fact that she survived her dad says something about her strength.
