So, the talented Aduba is back on our screens with her latest series Painkillers. It’s Netflix’s new scripted true-crime series about the opioid epidemic that’s being praised to the skies since it premiered. The show has garnered critical acclaim for the excellent job it did in blending fact and fiction to depict the complex public health crisis that followed Purdue Pharma’s release of the opioid drug Oxycontin, and so has the actress starring in it.
Uzo Aduba plays the role of a lawyer named Edie Flowers who comes across Oxytocin while investigating a separate case of medical fraud. She nailed her role and was very convincing in portraying the determination her character had to get to the depth of Purdue’s marketing methods and Oxytocin’s impact on local communities. Anyway, she’s currently basking in the praise for her acting skills and what all this attention has resulted in is observation and discussion about her weight gain.
The spotlight is on the Orange is the New Black star and it has shown that she has gotten bigger in recent months. She certainly didn’t look that big before. Not that she was a very slim woman who inspired people to maintain their fitness and themselves. She was and is a plus-sized woman and people have not been very kind to her because of her size. She has struggled because she is not a typical slender woman who is unfairly preferred in Hollywood. But, you know, she’s had a weight gain on top of that.
It’s very obvious because it’s definitely not a routine fluctuation. Uzo Aduba’s weight gain was a major one and while many internet trolls were quick to blast her over it, her fans who jumped to her defense were more curious to know about her weight gain. They wanted to know what the reason behind the change was. Some of them even suspected that she might be pregnant.
