Recently,\u00a0<strong data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"85\">Matty Healy<\/strong>\u00a0decided to ignite a firestorm by targeting his ex,\u00a0<strong data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"148\">Taylor Swift<\/strong>, with a series of brutal, body-shaming remarks. During a candid moment, Healy allegedly dismissed Taylor\u2019s iconic look, calling her\u00a0<strong data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"293\">\u201ca dry stick\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and claiming her appearance was\u00a0<strong data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"339\">\u201ctruly boring.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">Healy didn\u2019t stop there. He suggested that if Taylor weren\u2019t the biggest superstar on the planet, he wouldn\u2019t give her a second look, labeling her \u201cbland\u201d and lacking curves. It was a calculated attempt to objectify a woman who has already spent a decade fighting\u00a0<strong data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"264\">eating disorders<\/strong>\u00a0and public scrutiny.
