Gigi Hadid receives comments about her appearance daily, but the 21-year-old model was particularly offended by one comment made by a fan on Instagram about her slender frame and she replied accordingly.
“I loved my body as a 17-year-old athlete and I love my body now. Yes, I’ve lost some ‘baby fat,’ but muscle mass from my intensive volleyball training in high school has changed over the years into lean muscle from boxing, and work stress can have its affect [sic], but purposefully changing my body has never been my thing. I still eat what I want, I’m still strong, and I’m still healthy,” the model shot back.
“Your comment won’t get me down,” continued Hadid, “but next time, please think about the young women who may read body-judgement comments and judge themselves as they see their bodies growing and therefore naturally changing, too.”
In the past Hadid has spoken openly about being accepting about body image and taken to social media to voice the importance of embracing all body types.
