During an interview with Barbara Walters--Barbara named Jennifer to her list of 2013's most fascinating people--Jennifer said that it should be "illegal" to call anyone fat on TV:
"I think the media needs to take responsibility for the effect it has on our younger generation on these girls that are watching these television shows and picking up how to talk and how to be cool," she said. "So all of the sudden being funny is making fun of the girl that's wearing an ugly dress. And the word fat--I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV.
