The 11 Best Celebrity Responses To Body Shamers

Selena Gomez recently told The Cruz Show that “I dealt with a lot of body shaming this year and I’ve never experienced that before.”

But, she said, “I’m not going to let them get to me. I can do what I want.”

After Amy Schumer got hate for a paparazzi shot of her in her swimsuit, she posted this photo to Instagram and wrote: “I meant to write “good morning trolls!” I hope you find some joy in your lives today in a human interaction and not just in writing unkind things to a stranger you’ve never met who triggers something in you that makes you feel powerless and alone. This is how I look. I feel happy. I think I look strong and healthy and also like miss trunchbull from Matilda. Kisses!”

Following a difficult few months after a legal battle against producer Dr. Luke and Sony, Kesha took to Instagram to share a shot herself in a bikini,  with the caption: “Not a slave to perfection right now. f–k it. ***body shamers please f–k off”

After Barbara Palvin was revealed as one of Sports Illustrated’s 2016 rookies of the year, critics described her as “fat”. Her response? “The reason [SI] chose me is because they like my body type…”

Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson revealed that she was once told she was “too fat” for a role. Ashley, who is US size 2 (Aus 8), says she has  learned to shake off negative comments. “I cried for 30 minutes, but then you have to let it roll off your shoulders.”

Twitter bullies recently criticised the singer’s weight. But Pink hit back, saying: “I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off. Thanks for your concern. Love, cheesecake.”

Australian model Robyn Lawley was outraged after seeing her own image posted on a site dedicated to “thigh-gaps”. “The truth is I couldn’t care less about needing a supposed ‘thigh gap’. Why would I want to starve and weaken my natural body size?”

Amy Schumer had the perfect response to critics who described her as “chubby”. “From the bottom of my heart — I could not care less,” she said. “I am a [US] size 6 and have no plans of changing. This is it. Stay on or get off. Kisses!”

Mindy Kaling shut down the body shamers in 2014. “[Body shamers are] like, ‘It’s so refreshing that Mindy feels comfortable to let herself go and be a fat sea monster.’ By the way, I like run and work out. It takes a lot of effort to look like a normal/chubby woman.”

Jennifer Lawrence was told early in her career that in order to be successful, she needed to lose weight. Her response? “What are you going to do? Be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That’s just dumb.”

Recently accused of having eaten “all of her backup singers” by a UK tv personality, Clarkson said: “It’s like, you are who you are. Sometimes I’m more fit and I get into kick-boxing hardcore. And sometimes I don’t and I’d rather have a glass of wine.”
