IIn recent days, LSU gimnast Olivia Dunn complained of constant harassment and shaming on social media for posting images that could be seen as lewd. She defended herself by stating that the feelings people get when looking at her paintings are not her responsibility. Days later, golf influencer Paige Spiranac came out to defend Dunne on Twitter, praising her success. The semi-professional golfer was constantly shamed online for also posting pictures of her body in lingerie or swimsuits. Another famous model and influencer wanted to do their part and side with both women.
Veronika Rajek hits back at trolls
her name is Veronica Rajek and she became part of the NFL conversation after she was spotted wearing Tom Brady’s jersey at a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. 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 that she thinks they are all hypocrites because at the same time they praise her body positivity when they go after her. Of course, she also suffers from constant online harassment, but she seems to be handling it well.
Here’s what Rajek told the US Sun in a recent interview: “People pretend to be open-minded, but they’re not. They talk about body positivity but they are not body positive. I’m a young woman, I have my style, A lot of people say to me, “You’re not classy”, but what about me is not classy? I love my style, I love my fashion. My body is young, I take care my body, I train, I eat healthy, I want to show that, that’s my personality, I’m not sorry because that’s me.
“I don’t wear turtlenecks in my 20s – I will wear them when I’m a mom of three and 45. I love my body and that is body positivity. If you love something, show it, prove it. Everyone says you have to do this and behave this way, but just be yourself. I live with myself and I love what I do. The first thing in my life is that I have to be happy in my head and in my body because if you’re not, then you’re looking for faults in other lives. I’m not a person who goes through other profiles and writes bad things.”
