The Panamanian model and influencer Gracie Bon attracts attention wherever she goes due to her voluptuous measurements, as was the case during her visit to Disney theme park. However, her experience was ruined by people who took photos of her without her permission and laughed at her curvaceous figure.
On her Instagram account, where she has over 6 million followers, she shared a video reflecting on body shaming. "It's time to stop shaming other people for their bodies," began the 27-year-old woman, who mentioned that the family day she had planned was ruined by people mocking her body size. "The worst part is that they teach their children to do the same," she added.
"They kept taking pictures of my body, they looked at me weird all the time or simply laughed at me. I know you might think I'm exaggerating and that it's my fault for being a big girl, but this is literally what God gave me and I have to embrace every part of me," said Gracie Bon alongside the video, in which you can see how many people stared at her and even took pictures of her.
Reactions to his statements have not been delayed, and while some support his message, others responded to the video with criticism:
"But beautiful, you sculpted your body in that way, it's strange for many. You are fully exposed to this, so I don't understand why you complain if in the end you achieve your goal, which is to monetize. No one looks like that naturally and, of course, people will stare. It's like people stare at me because I'm covered in tattoos... Just accept that you did that to get attention and now it sucks sometimes during certain activities. With all due respect, the body has been shaped that way, this is not natural, you can't make your body look big for Instagram and be upset when it's not normal in the real world. That's just envy, you are beautiful." or "No, it should be the body that *science* gave you."
