Delta Burke is getting brutally honest about the vicious fat-shaming she had to endure during the peak of her fame in the 80s and 90s.

On an episode of the Glamorous Trash podcast released Friday, the former TV star got candid with host Chelsea Devantez about how her body was considered so unacceptable at the time that her show, Designing Women, even made it a plot point in several episodes . The show, which launched Burke into fame, ran from 1986 to 1993.

Now, had I arrived when [Jennifer Lopez] was around and they were welcoming curves, things probably would have been different, Burke said.

They treat serial killers kinder than if you put on some weight, she added. You put on weight, and its the final thing you can really criticize people about. Youre not protected in any way, and you dont know whats going on with that person.
