How celebrities spread the message of body positivity
Working in show business means being exposed to scrutiny and unforgiving remarks.
That is why some celebrities are standing up to these unfair comments by telling everyone that they, too, deserve respect from other people.
A little weight gain here, or one unflattering photo there, and these celebrities will be crucified on social media. With that, celebrities learned how to use their platforms to share the message of body positivity.
Kris Bernal
Kris Bernal is a victim of body shamers for her petite frame. She emphasized that women should appreciate every part of their body and just focus on improving their health through exercise, instead of worrying about what other say about their bodies.

She related her experience on her Instagram: “I used to be so shy to post my OOTDs because of the fear of reading comments pointing to my body size, but today I'm confident and happy with my curves. Proud to be a balakang babe.”
