    Lagerfeld sorry for Adele 'fat' remark

    Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has apologised to soul star Adele for calling her "too fat".

    The creative director for French fashion house Chanel wants to make amends with the singer after he recently criticised her figure in an interview with European newspaper Metro.

    Lagerfeld insists his comments were taken out of context, and calls himself a "great admirer" of the Rolling in the Deep hitmaker.

    He says, "I'd like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer. Sometimes when you take a sentence out it changes the meaning of the thought.

    "Adele is my favourite singer and I am a great admirer of her. I lost over 30 kilos 10 years ago and know how it feels when the press is mean to you in regards to your appearance. Adele is a beautiful girl."

    Lagerfeld sparked outrage from fans after remarking that Adele is "a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice".

      Lagerfeld's face is the spitting image of my scrotum. None of my body parts look like Adele !

      He had to apologise, because he realised (or the publicity department for Chanel made him do it) he just screwed up his reputation by making himself look like a big mouthed idot. I also agree with Maureen. Freedom of speach is true.... but once somthing is said, it cannot be unsaid.

      She is a great singer so can afford to slob out with crisps and cakes now and again. She is not too fat if compared with Jabba The Hut but lets face it she could do with losing more than just a few holiday pounds.

      She's not too fat, I think she's the size she should be and she's happy. We need more women that are happy with their size, people focus on size way too much.

      Ridiculous man! First he carried a spanish fan to disguise his jaw line when he was heavier, then he donned women's channel skinny jeans when he lost the weight. The weight obsessed fashion industry lead by neurotic queens - gawd help us!

      Generally, I have no idea why people feel the need to comment on other's appearance: too fat, too thin, no boobs, too large boob, large nose, ugh, just keep it to yourself I say!

      Has Lagerfeld looked in the mirror lately? Like they say,she could go on a diet but hes stuck with that gob! How rude John Terry.
    • Zongle  •  London, England  •  3 months ago
      He said that she has a brilliant voice and pretty face, but was a little fat. This is true, so what's the problem? It's not even as insult. It's good that she's not one of those skinny pop stars, but that doesn't mean she isn't overweight.

      Personally Karl Lagerfireld was very out of place making that awful remark, he as a fashion designer should know better, that the body is a beautiful thing, no matter shape or size. And in todays society this is what can spark eating disorders. He should of thought carefully about his words.
      Maybe he should change direction and design for the oversize woman??

      Adele is my favourite female singer by a long way. I'd just like to say live your life young lady as you want to live it and don't give st*** what others say. It's not as if she was going to model clothes for him, is it? Good he apologised though.

      You ar all FAT obsessed U should worry about the anorexic silicone jugged and talentless idiots who are you children's role models...Adele has a beautiful talent, heart and face!
    • Benjamin  •  Blackpool, England  •  3 months ago
      how dare he be so rude and pig ignorant its not as if he is good looking himself !
      • Dudley 3 months ago
        He didnt claim to be good looking, as far as I am aware being good looking is not a requirement in being able to say someone is fat. Incase you didn't notice, he is right, SHE IS FAT.
      • cattyqueen69 3 months ago
        She is good looking. She is just FAT!

      he is not sorry. this old #$%$ has been calling everyone fat for ages, unless they look like a toothpick. he is apologizing just because some PR made him do it. he will NEVER be sorry.
    • Davvy  •  London, England  •  3 months ago
      Adele is a fantastic singer...... TRUE

      Adele has a pretty face..... TRUE

      Adele IS too fat ..... TRUE ...... I say that as I worry about her future health
    • Ahsoka  •  3 months ago
      Why apologize? He should be free to say what he feels as should everyone else! Freedom of speech, anyone?
    • cattyqueen69  •  3 months ago
      Adele is FAT! It's a fact folks. She also needs to wash out her mouth with soap and water too, dreadful woman.
