Heard from reliable sources she's obese now


Don't shoot the messenger, just hearing this from a very reliable source. And no not #fatshaming either, just posting the rumor.

Look at this pic from 2002, it's of Bridget, her mother, and grandmother. Bridget's mother looks a lot like the woman in the paparazzi photos. Bridget is in her late 50s now but the woman in the papp picture could pass for someone in their 70s AND she looks like her mother?

That's actually a good point. To me it means the woman in the 2022 photos looks a lot like Bridget's mother did in the 2002 photo. In other words, I still don't believe the woman in those 2022 photos is Bridget Fonda.

I saw a pic on facebook of Bridget at some kids party from 2012 where she looked identical to her mom then, but thinner. But had still gained weight. Definitely was her. Actually, think she looked great. She used to be TOO thin at times, in my opinion. Its possible the woman in the pic is indeed her mom? Or its just simply a matter of naturally aging and looking like our parent aged. Or combined with some health issues. There are tons of health issues that can cause that and medications and its hard to manage.
I honestly see nothing bizarre about this situation at all. People are just being weird because she's been laying low and incognito for a decade and all the sudden was paparazzi'd. This reaction and public response and ignorance is probably exactly why she has been hiding from publicity. People suck.

And also, in this video she explains shes leaving the industry for a while to raise theirs son: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/danny-elfman-and-bridget-fonda-on-danny-presenting-the-news-footage/75806167

If the woman in the photo is Bridget it definitely looks like a health condition. I know a lot girls who were petite like Bridget in their 20s but became obese after having at least 2 kids. Her mother would 81/82 years old right now so I now lean that this probably is Bridget.

Yes. Definitely health related. Not something sinister.

Post-menopausal, thyroid, adrenal issues, so many things. And they're all tricky to treat. Especially if multi-issues. But again, she just seems normal to me?? A lot of changes can happen in 12 years and seeing that pic of her mom, seems just like a natural normal genetic thing. Seems active and in shape, actually. Could also be steroid meds.

People just jump to creepy freaky stupid theories because they're bored or its more exciting to them. When most of the time its just something very simple and non-eventful.

All that aside, its amazing how much she and her mom look alike. Younger them and now. Young pics of her mom could easily pass as a Bridget clone! Really cool if you ask me. Same kind smiles, too.

EXCLUSIVE: 90s screen siren Bridget Fonda, 58, looks unrecognizable as she steps out in LA in a baggy T-shirt and glasses - 20 YEARS after she vanished from spotlight

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11216345/Bridget-Fonda-looks-unrecognizable-steps-rare-outing-months-wearing-outfit.html

Nineties screen siren Bridget Fonda looked nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out for a rare outing in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday.

The former Hollywood starlet, 58, who retired from acting in 2002 after appearing in a number of critically-acclaimed films, was seen for the first time in 12 years back in January, and now, she has been photographed once again - wearing almost exactly the same outfit.

In a dramatic departure from her once ultra glamorous image, Fonda dressed comfortably in a pair of dark trousers and a black and white striped V-neck T-shirt as she did some shopping at a landscaping supply store.
