Momzilla (Week 11)

In this episode of What Would You Do?, there was a mom who was verbally attacking her daughter. As the excited bride was trying on potential wedding dresses, her mother was verbally abusing her. The mother used terms such as fat and ugly to describe how her daughter looked. There was one bystander however who took this overbearing mother aside. This woman explained to the mother the difference between verbally attacking her daughter and constructive criticism.
If I was in this situation, I hope I would do the same thing as this bystander did. It is one thing to want your daughter to look her very best on her wedding day. However, it is a completely different thing to verbally attack and belittle someone. Also, I'm sure that this overweight woman already has the outside world thinking that she is in fact ugly and fat. However, her mother should be the one there to support and shield her from the brutal world.
