SHE TELLS MARIE CLAIRE, "People do think I'm weird," BUT WE THINK SHE'S ADORABLE!! WE LOVE HER HIPSTER STYLE, AND HER QUIRKY SENSE OF HUMOR ON FOX'S "NEW GIRL."
BUT BENEATH ALL THAT, ZOOEY'S GOT SOME DARK SECRETS. SHE TELLS THE MAG'S MAY ISSUE SHE WAS CHUBBY WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER AND THAT MADE HER THE TARGET OF BULLIES.
"I was ridiculed. I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face," SHE SAYS. "I really don't know why she spit at me. I just talked to her. I guess I wasn't allowed to talk to her. I remember I couldn't believe it."
THAT MOMENT CHANGED HER FOREVER… SHE SAYS SHE "RE-IMAGINED: HERSELF AND HER IMAGE, AND… LOST 30 POUNDS. "All of a sudden," SHE SAYS, "Everybody treated me differently."
AND JUST LOOK AT THE NEW GIRL NOW… GUESS ZOOEY'S HAVING THE LAST LAUGH.
