This Model Fights Back at the People Who Call Her ‘Fat’

Being famous definitely come with its perks—but it also comes with many downfalls. You’re constant in the public eye, and it seems to make people think they can insult you in whatever way they please. Iskra Lawrence, Aerie and British model, recently faced some backlash for one of her Instagram photos, on which one user decided to call her a “fat cow,” and also expressed “Plus-size models? give me a F*****g breaking. Everyone needs to stop eating McDonald’s, the NHS is f****d because of people like her eating too many bags of crisps.” Harsh, much? But, don’t worry, being the total badass model she is, she fought back with this Instagram photo, that “is for anyone who has ever been called FAT.”



And wait, it gets even better.


 

Had to make a #slow-mo too…This is for anyone who has ever been called FAT. Thanks for the inspirational words on a recent pic @zseanzbrown “Fat cow. It’s only cus every F****r on this planet is obese that that’s the norm… Plus-size models? give me a F*****g breaking. Everyone needs to stop eating McDonald’s, the NHS is f****d because of people like her eating too many bags of crisps.” Ps I do not condone binge eating. I eat whatever I want in moderation. I will eat crisps but I’ll also make healthy home cooked meals and workout regularly. The message is who gives a F what anyone else thinks of you. YOU are the only one who decides yourself worth And sorry I’m usually not rude or give anyone the finger but these online trolls smdh #iskralawrence #everyBODYisbeautiful

She then went on to post this slo-mo video of her eating a bag of chips, which is ALL of us.

At the end of her post, she even kindly apologized to her fans for her own rant. But, truthfully, no apology was needed in a situation like this.  

This is all just a big middle finger to all of her haters and the Instagram user who slammed her with hateful words. Nicely done, Iskra. It’s people like her that keep the body positivity movement going in the right direction.
