The celebrity mom did not provide more details about the body-shaming incident, but she took the opportunity to inform everybody about what her body is going through.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, she said that she has accepted the fact that she is “curvy” and there's nothing wrong about it.
Denise wrote, “Someone called me fat at work yesterday!:) I love that I'm not even trippin about it:) I love n understand me! Yes I'm curvy! On my normal days 34c-25-37 (cause da booty ) and the abs are poppin for no reason;) on my best days my waistline gets even smaller sometimes if everything is in sync I go back to my 23.5 waist! And I still look fat!
“Yesss I know when u are curvy u are one wrong angle, one wrong outfit, one burger away from looking fat.. bla bla bla or whatever thats salty haha (i dont process salt n sugar very well so I can retain your to 10lbs of water LIkE NOW) but we curviez sure do look good in the buff!! Lol haha Jk! Also in our country the range is pretty small it's either u are stick thin or u FAT gurl! Haha while some people inject their bodies for curves haha Lately it's not that i dont care.”
She added that her medicine for her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has some side effects such as hunger, acne breakout, and even headaches.
“THIS IS ME! I've been so patient x understanding with myself! I understand what my job needs I understand what patience I need for myself as well and of course discipline (so hard) lol I understand why I'm bloated why I got a little cuteness around my cheeks n my nose is more button than Pinocchio haha I know I'm not fat lol.. I remind myself this medicine I'm taking for my PCOS makes me sleepy, super bloated, makes me hungry gives me zits+headaches.. when I'm tired I don't force a workout.. if I'm hungry lately I eat!”
Lastly, Denise stressed that she is just undergoing some transition and she doesn't want to be affected by an insensitive comment about her body.
“Ur body is constantly changing! That's why I ain't even trippin cause I know this is just a transition n break for myself on this fitness journey... it's all about health for me! Mental, spiritual, physical! So u gotta keep those stress levels down..choose what to trip on haha”
