Why does the title need to be worded like that? The worst part is that I've only seen them phrased like this with women celebrities.

I'm guessing you have not been alive long enough to remember that newspapers, especially tabloids, have always been demeaning of women. To be honest I think headline is neutral sounding (it simply says Pugh is being shamed for her body) but it's arguably worse twenty years ago than now, with tabloids having more sensationalist headlines and the picture of the person being always the most unflattering. I don't really see that kind of reporting nowadays, but it is now on social media where sensationalist shaming happens.
I have been, and it's just as demeaning, but I think constant attention needs to be brought to it
