“Unfiltered and Fierce: How These Stars Turned Body Shaming into Empowering Comebacks!”
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigan is constantly swatting away trolls who feel like it’s their job to comment on her body and on her parenting abilities. While she was pregnant with her son, Miles, she posted a picture of herself half-naked making a salad. All of her important bits were covered by a couple of salad emojis.
She captioned the picture, “plz don’t shame me I am a strong proud salad making woman just being natural and trying to live my life.” Same, Chrissy. Same.
Zendaya
After a certain comment was made by Fashion Police host Giuliana Rancic, comedian Julie Klausner tweeted, “Zendaya’s ultimate retort to Giuliana Rancic is starving herself down to the size of one of her elbowz.”
Zendaya clapped back, “Do you find this funny? I will write another paragraph to educate you aswell #youreallywannabenext?” Then she tweeted, “Now….everyone go look in the mirror at their beautiful body, and love that **** #thickgirlswinning #skinnygirlswinning #weallwinning”
Ashley Graham
In response to some negative commentary, plus-size model Ashley Graham said, “Every time I post a workout video I get comments like, ‘You’ll never be skinny, so stop trying,’ ‘Don’t workout too hard, you’ll get skinny,’ ‘You still need to be fat to be a model,’ and ‘Why would you want to lose what made you famous?'”
She continued, “Just for the record, I work out to: stay healthy, feel good, get rid of jet lag, clear my head, show big girls we can move like the rest of ’em, stay flexible and strong, have more energy… I don’t work out to lose weight or my curves, [because] I love the skin I’m in…”
