Bikini model quitting social media after being criticized for her “real” body (photos)

“It’s really making me go a bit crazy and reading some of these hate comments I am baffled that society has come to this point”

Newsroom August 19 09:47

An Australian Instagram influencer has revealed she is quitting social media after receiving a barrage of hateful comments about her body.

Ariella Nyssa took to her Instagram this morning, posting unedited photos of her booty, to explain she feels like “crap” because people have said her body is too “real” to be a model.

This little belly of mine, I’m gunna let it shine! I used to be so ashamed of my belly. I would do hours of cardio, set my background as a model with abs and strive for a stomach with 0% fat. This is so unrealistic for me! Especially because I love food so much and always have. This desire made me starve myself, it made me feel like I wasn’t beautiful. That I would never be seen as beautiful.. I know so many beautiful ladies who have felt the same or feel the same now ! It’s time to stop wishing to be someone else. It’s time to stop wishing for abs or 0% body fat. It’s time to BE WHO WE ARE. To love our bodies for what they are right NOW! Embrace your bellies, embrace your marks. For it makes you who. You. Are ❤️❤️❤️❤️
