Gabourey Sidibe (Kind Of) Responds To The Elle Controversy

Plenty of folks in the media seem to be worked up about Gabourey Sidibe’s Elle magazine cover, (yours truly included) in which her skin appears to be several shades lighter than in real life. But the actress doesn’t seem to be too bothered. She spoke with Access Hollywood…well, actually SHE didn’t.

“Gabourey is absolutely thrilled to be on the cover of ELLE magazine’s 25th anniversary issue,” a rep for the actress told Access Hollywood.

Curious to hear Sidibe respond in her own words.
