In recent days, LSU gimnast Olivia Dunne complained about constant harᴀssment and shaming on social media for posting pictures that can be considered suggestive. She defended herself by stating those feelings people get when they look at her pictures are not her responsibility. Days later, golf influencer Paige Spiranac came out to defend Dunne on Twitter and praised her success. The semi-pro golfer has constantly suffered online shaming for also showing pictures of her body wearing lingerie or swimsuits. Another famous model andinfluencer wanted to say her piece on the matter and side with both women.
Veronika Rajek hits back at trolls
Her name is Veronika Rajek and she became part of the NFL conversation after she was spotted at a Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ game wearing Tom Brady’s jersey. But even before that, Rajek was already a very successful model who already had millions of Instagram followers. When asked about people shaming her online, Rajek revealed she considers all of them hypocrites because they praise body positivity when coming after her at the same time. Naturally, she also suffers constant online harᴀssment but she seems to be navigating it well.
This is what Rajek told the US Sun during recent interview: “People are pretending to be open-minded but they are not. They are talking about body positivity but they are not body positive. I am a young woman, I have my style, a lot of people say to me ‘you are not classy’, but what is not classy about me? I love my style, I love my fashion. My body is young, I take care of my body, I work out, I eat healthy, I want to show it. It’s my personality. I’m not sorry because this is who I am.
“I am not wearing turtlenecks in my 20s – I will wear them when I am a mom of three and I’m 45. I love my body and this is body positivity. If you love something, show it, prove it. Everybody says you need to do this and behave like this but just be yourself. I am living with myself and I love what I’m doing. The first thing in my life is I need to be happy in my head and my body because if you’re not then you’re looking for mistakes in other lives. I’m not a person who is going through other profiles and writing bad things.”
