Men used to drool over the mere mention of Jennifer Love Hewitt nude.

After a few photos of the actress in a bikini surfaced last week, however, critics began to point to all the flaws (i.e. layers of fat) that have built up on Hewitt’s body.

To her credit, though, JLH released the following statement on her website:

“This is the last time I will address this subject,” she wrote. “I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized…

To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image. A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.”

Seen here with fiance Ross McCall, Hewitt continued: “I know what I look like… and like all women out there should, I love my body. To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini… and stay strong.”
