It's true. Her obesity really affected everything. At least Kathy Bates had facial expressions and is a good actress. I did like her role in that series as the old racist plantation woman who was basically Vlad the impaler. Gabourey is constantly bloated and she always looks like she's struggling to breathe. How the fuck did they cast her?? Emma Roberts and the other main witch was hot, but fatass ruined all that. Even the actress with Down Syndrome was good (at least she has a legit medical excuse for her weight.)
