Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared on Conan O’Brien, and discussed a billboard for the show The Client List that featured her in her underwear that had to be toned down because apparently someone was offended by her body.

This appears to be the billboard in question (Source: FameFlynet Pictures via StyleBistro):

“There was a bit of a scandal with the first billboards,” says Hewitt. “There was another one of me laying down in nude sort of bra and panties, and everybody loved it, watched the show…everybody was happy. There was one group of people who apparently were offended by the billboard, and were not into it….We still don’t know who it was. It happened in a magazine, but we don’t know who did the actual fixing of the photo, but they didn’t ask anybody if they could do it. They covered me up, and they actually made me like a cup and a half size smaller, and then covered everything.”

Conan noted that this was “un-American”.

Hewitt mentioned that nearby was a billboard of David Beckham in his underwear. “Like couldn’t have had a bigger situation in that billboard,” she said, “And he’s out there like ‘Hello!’…I had to have smaller boobs. It was very strange.”
