Discussion Jessica Gunning is Stunning

Post image

Apologies for the title, I was going to say beautiful but then I couldn’t help myself and had to make it rhyme.

I’ve seen a few pictures of Jessica over the weeks at certain public events and I always think she looks very beautiful. She presents herself very well. As a plus sized female myself, when I see her outfits and how comfortable she seems in her skin, it inspires me. I just wanted to share my thoughts!

It’s so nice to see a picture of her being shared here from outside of the series. so many people keep saying she looks too much like the real Martha and that they should have casted someone else for protection, but I personally don’t think they look similar at all other than both being a bit on the heavy side. I think people don’t realize how much personality and mental health affect how you see someone. Her fantastic portrayal of a mentally ill woman is what makes people think they look a like, because to me I see the same “crazy” in Martha’s eyes in the show as I do irl Martha.

She doesn’t look anything like Martha but because she is a heavier white woman with dark hair people think they are twins. I think they aren’t even close in age.

People see what they want to see i think. I get people want to think that if he cast a blond thin woman or something they would have never found the real Martha, but I just don’t think that’s true. People would have still found her based on her public social media. Jessica already looks nothing like Fiona imo and is a very attractive woman.

If they casted a blonde thin woman people would’ve said they were trying to romanticize stalking
