Linda was a plus-size woman, and the fact that another skinny actress was hired to play her when there are dozens of talented plus-size actresses today, people couldn't fathom the reason behind and nor can we. Tweets backlashing Sarah and the inappropriate message they are sending are overflowing at the moment. 

One viewer blasted, "This is so incredibly harmful and irritating. Linda Tripp was a pear-shaped, probably size 12 woman. The fact that they took the very skinny Sarah Paulson, added prosthetics to the face, and put her in a “fat suit” is so damaging."

This wasn't the first time Sarah had faced such backlash. Just a month ago, the LGBTQ community was disappointed in the actress when she refused to put her preferred pronouns on her Twitter bio. Users soon stormed Paulson calling her misogynistic, homophobic.

One trans woman wrote, “Trans people do not care that Sarah Paulson doesn’t have pronouns in her bio, but cis-gendered people getting involved will make including pronouns an unquestioned process, which limits the risk of someone being misgendered."
