Gigi Hadid slams body-shamers
Being a world-famous supermodel obviously comes with its perks, but in this day and age, most celebrities have to endure online trolls, and Gigi Hadid is no exception. Recently, she hit back at people shaming her body, and it was brilliant.
The model uploaded a post to her Instagram account explaining how proud she is of her body and the fact it’s made her so successful - and if people don’t have nice things to say, they can stop following her. It’s as simple as that.
“If you don't like it, don’t follow me, don’t watch me, cause I’m not going anywhere. If I didn’t have the body I do, I wouldn’t have the career that I do. I love that I can be sexy. I’m proud of it.”
She admitted the negativity had started to affect her and made her ponder why she has chosen this career path, but she’s refusing to apologise for looking the way she does.
“Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm fitting into the sample sizes. Your mean comments don't make me want to change my body, they don't make me want to say no to the designers that ask me to be in their shows, and they definitely don't change the designers’ opinions of me. If they want me to be in their show, I'm in it; if they don't, I'm not. That's just how it is and how it will be.”

There are parts of social media that I love, otherwise I keep away from social media so much. Feel sorry for the trolls on the net.

I don't understand what they are shaming her about.... She is a stunning girl with a beautiful, healthy body. I just don't get it.

The internet makes many people say things they would never say in public.

That maybe so but there is soo many gutless wonders out there who can't say what is on there mind at the time & confront the person on the spot they just do it behind closed doors on the internet to get many followers because they think in their messed up mind that's cool people should be treated in that way or there are others that will do it outside of a computer but have to have a gang with them to do that to boost their confidence when really they are just cowards. Those type of people are just bullies.

It is absolutely true that the internet can be a nasty and negative place. I wish everyone would just be a little kinder, that would change everything.

Sad that even gorgeous and talented women like Gigi get affected by internet nobodies. Just goes to show nobody is immune to the cruelty of faceless, digital attacks. Love you girl <3

Well said, Gigi is one beautiful, sexy and confident young lady. Haters are always going to hate, they're trolls and trolls are ugly people on the inside.

If people don't have anything nice to say then they should not say it. Good on Gigi for sticking up for herself.

Don't say anything if you don't have anything else to say at all.
Love how she fights back and stand up for herself.

This is a pretty great way of being honest and telling everyone how she feels. She presents herself as sweet and lovely but also as not afraid to stand up for herself. I think we need more role models like Gigi.
