In a speech that lasts several minutes, Vanessa delivers a blunt assessment of navigating the dating scene as a fat woman. Those looking for love and intimacy, she says, meet far too many guys who will sleep with them but won't hold their hands in public.
Baker shares her personal take on the rant -- which she says she relates to but doesn't exactly reflect her experience -- how she landed the gig, and what she makes of the dearth of quality roles for plus-size actresses.
"I feel I have a lot more to offer than just how I look," she tells Jian.
