Netizens criticized the Australian plus-size model after she shared images of her nude on social media. Reported by the Daily Mail.
In August, 24-year-old blogger Ashleigh Atkins told subscribers that she would no longer post due to the overwhelming amount of violent comments from other users about her weight.
According to the model, the haters reacted extremely negatively to her candid pictures and wrote that they wanted her to get cancer, and also sent death threats. In addition, she was dubbed the "fat cow", claiming that she was too fat and that her belly was disgusting.
Atkins said that she could not withstand so much negativity in her address and did not use social networks for several months. During this time, she began working as a plus-size model, which helped her feel stronger and continue to do what she loves. “It took me a lot of effort to understand that body weight can fluctuate, but this does not mean that your value changes from this,” the blogger shared.
According to Atkins, the value of people does not decrease with the increase in their weight, and does not increase with the loss of it: everyone deserves respect, regardless of appearance.
Earlier in June, the plus-size model starred in a swimsuit and was criticized by social media users. The obese girl captured herself on camera in the mirror. In the picture, she is sitting on the bed in a hot pink bikini that exposes part of her breasts. Some subscribers decided that the swimsuit design was not suitable for such a large girl. “With such a complexion, I would not take pictures in a swimsuit,” they said.
