After sharing a bikini photo to her Instagram Stories, the 25-year-old reality star received some negative comments saying that her "bottom half is so strange" and that she has "no tits or hips."

But rather than glossing over the trolling, Bella shared screenshots with her 108,000 followers and slammed the people behind the body shaming messages.

"People like this are the reason why young women and men struggle with body image and self esteem," she penned.

"It disgusts me that this person thinks it's okay to even comment negatively on another human's physical appearance. Issues with body image can lead to eating disorders, depression and anxiety which is something I used to deal with personally and I do not take this lightly.

She added: "Although I wish it didn't affect me, I am still human. Check yourself."

Bella's followers instantly jumped to her defence and the social media star filmed a thank you message to them for their support.

"Guys I'm getting so many nice messages and I wish I could reply to them all, but every single one doesn't go unnoticed," she said in the clip uploaded to her Instagram Stories.

"I didn't even expect this - honestly I just wanted to call that person out on their bulls*** because I'm so sick of body shaming and online bullying, it p***es me off."

She added: "I think I just wanted to kind of make a point but you're all so lovely and I'm so glad that I have such a strong female following that is passionate about this as I am so f***ing love you guys!"

As a social media influencer, Bella's fame has skyrocketed since her stint on The Bachelor but Instagram isn't the only platform she's across.

Who previously reported that she is the latest local star to join Cameo - a platform where fans pay for personalised messages from their favourite celebs.

For those wondering, a video message from Bella will set you back $51.99 whilst a direct message (DM) on social media, is priced at $16.99.

Not bad for a side hustle!

She may have moved on from Locky Gilbert but Bella, who is based in Sydney's Bondi, is rumoured to be with one of this year's Bachelorette contestants, Adam Todd.

The two were spotted on a night out in Sydney's east with fellow Bachelor alumni Bec Cvilikas, Nicole Campbell, Bel Colwell and Leilani Vakaahi and Emma Roche along with Elly and Becky Miles' Bachelorette boys Shannon Karaka and Pascal Wallace.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed Bella and Adam sitting together on numerous occasions and this comes shortly after Adam admitted Bella had slid into his Instagram DM's.

Could we be seeing a romance bloom?
