Every time Kimberly McCullough makes an appearance on the show, people pile up on her on social media sites commenting about her weight gain. She usually maintains her silence but in 2016, she decided that she was going to speak up for once, and she did. But she didn’t explain how she gained weight and how people should be kinder to each other. Basically, she said that people’s comments did not bother her.
FYI, I’m not offended by convos about my weight. So, I’m a little chubby. In my 20’s I was ‘too thin.’ It is what it is, people…
Kimberly McCullough also once said that she might not return to acting because she didn’t look and feel like an actress anymore after her weight gain. Though she didn’t rule out the possibility of returning as Robin to General Hospital, she said that she was more focused on her family than acting and directing.
No, I don’t think it;s the last you’ll see if me, but you know, I also don’t look like an actor anymore. I’ve gained weight and I’m fine with that. For me to maintain that level of fitness, it’s like being an athlete. You have to maintain it. It takes money, time, effort, and focus- and I’m focused on other things. I’m focused on my brain. I’m focused on being a mother, and on growing in other ways. And honestly, I just don’t have the time to do that right now.
