  • Jennifer Love Hewitt was the latest guest on Mayim Bialik's "Breakdown" podcast (via US Weekly) and recalled how it wasn't until she was in her thirties that she registered just how much the media sexualized her as a teenager.

Jennifer Love Hewitt, now 45, has spoken out about being sexualized by TV hosts when she was just 16 years old. During an appearance on the "Inside of You" podcast, she recounted an uncomfortable experience on a talk show where hosts openly discussed her physical attributes, specifically her breasts, in a manner that made her feel objectified. Hewitt, who was promoting her role in the film "Party of Five" at the time, described how the hosts' comments were laughed off by the audience, highlighting a disturbing normalization of such behavior. She expressed that this incident, among others, contributed to her feeling like she had to grow up quickly in the entertainment industry, where she was often treated more like an adult than a teenager.
