Melissa McCarthy Shuts Down Sexist Reporter Criticizing 'Tammy'

Melissa McCarthy stopped by The Ellen Show to explain the details behind a sexist review she received for her film Tammy. The actress described that the man criticized her for Tammy's disheveled appearance and asked him if he would ever say that to a man playing the roll, to which the reporter replied "Well, I mean, you really looked bad." The reporter, who admitted to having a daughter didn't like it when McCarthy turned the script on him by saying, "If she comes home and someone says 'you can't have a job because you're unattractive', are you going to say, 'That's right!" The reporter, of course, did not wish that on his own daughter and that's when McCarthy took the opportunity to drive home her point, by explaining, “Just know every time you write stuff every young girl in this country reads that and they just get a little bit chipped away.” Kudos Melissa!
