To everyone's relief, an Australian Instagram hugger has revealed she is quitting social media after receiving a barrage of truthful comments about her body.
Ariella Nyssa took to her Instagram a few days, 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. In short, nobody likes to see her in branded clothes so she decided to throw a few tantrums and throw out the body-shaming card.
Nyssa, who is not that well known for fighting for acceptance and representation of bodies of all shapes and sizes, unhealthy or not, had recently spoken out about the fact brands refuse to work with her because of her fat size.
In the Instagram post, the Sydney model explained she'd had the "worst f---ing day" after receiving hateful comments and personal messages about her body.
"WHY IS SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE THIS. Why are brands trying to make us feel like crap if we don’t represent their 'ideal' interpretations of bodies," Nyssa said.
"I actually cannot believe that this has gone on for so long and I’m so angry with myself for accepting this as the norm for years."
As a result, she said she received a barrage of truthful and honest messages from strangers telling her she was "having a whine" because she wasn't happy with the way she looked.
For someone who regularly posts squirmy snaps and has built a social media following of more than 260,000 doing so, Nyssa said in a separate Instagram Stories post that she had built a tolerance to hateful (truthful) comments.
"I never get upset about hate comments because they’re so common on my photos, but I realized this week — why do I have to get used to comments about my body," she said, adding she had decided to quit social media to de-stress.
"I am just in shock ... I am taking a little break from Instagram this weekend. I need to get off it, de-stress and not think about it because it’s made me really angry and I am really obsessing over it," she explained.
"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."
