DJ Nicole Hyala slams haters: ‘Body-shaming a pregnant woman is too much, sumosobra na kayo’


DJ Nicole Hyala is celebrating her second pregnancy by holding a beautiful maternity shoot with celeb-favorite Nice Print Photography.

Posting a few of those photos on Instagram, Nicole showed to a bigger public the many wonderful changes pregnancy brings about to a woman’s body.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

WARNING : Lengthy pregnancy post ahead. Enjoying my last 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. It has been one heck of a ride! I've been put through so much stress all throughout this pregnancy (ay, hindi niyo lang alam kung gaano katindi ung pinagdaanan ko mula sa mga walang pusong binigyan ako ng stress at walang pakialam na buntis ako). Stress which brought about spotting, cramping and so much more. But I realized, my pregnancy came in at the perfect time! God knew that I will go through major stress this year, and so He blessed me with a son, to remind me that I am not alone in my journey. At the time when I was being bashed for doing my job, the Lord worked on me through my pregnancy. I was at an advantage! I had two hearts, 2 sets of lungs, 4 hands and feet! How amazing is that! I cry as I write this post. Thank you Lord. For reminding me that I am never alone. That You are here. Thank you for my son. I promise to take care of him, in the same way that You have taken care of me all these years. You cannot put a good woman down. And in the case of this photo, you cannot put a Diosa down. Hahaha.

But it seems there are a few who forget this – and their manners.

In one of Nicole’s posts, a rude commenter left a hateful remark on her body, essentially body-shaming the pregnant woman.

Thankfully, the DJ isn’t going to take this sitting down. She screengrabbed the comment, pasted it over her body and wrote a thoughtful caption about body-shaming and bullying.

“Face-shaming is horrible in itself, but I think body-shaming a pregnant woman is too much,” read a portion of her post.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

WARNING : LENGTHY POST ON BODY AND FACE SHAMING Before social media, bullying was something that can only be done face-to-face. However now, someone can be bullied online anonymously. These online attacks sometimes lead to deep mental scars. I get these attacks. Everyday. Since I made necessary management decisions in July. I know that there are many more who love me, compared to those who attack me. I am sure of that. Very sure. Face-shaming is horrible in itself, but I think body-shaming a pregnant woman is too much. The nature of my job makes me an easy target for criticism. I understand that. But I do not deserve it. Especially not for the changes that occured as I grow a human being inside my body. Hamakin niyo na ako sa lahat ng aspeto. Wag lang sa pagiging nanay ko. Dahil sumusobra na kayo. When my photographer asked if my belly button should be edited, or flattened out, I immediately answered with, "No." I embrace all my body changes including developing umbilical hernia from my 1st pregnancy. And if having more children will make my body go through more changes, then I will be more than willing to embrace them. Having a baby is a blessing, a miracle in itself. And to you Patrick (even if this is just a poser account), I hope that your mother will NEVER have to go through body-shaming. I pray that you will be careful with your words next time. Because words can kill or heal. Ending with this quote from Dr. Steve Maraboli - "When you judge a woman by her appearance, it doesn't define her. It defines you."

“The nature of my job makes me an easy target for criticism. I understand that. But I do not deserve it. Especially not for the changes that occurred as I grow a human being inside my body.

“Hamakin niyo na ako sa lahat ng aspeto. Wag lang sa pagiging nany ko. Dahil sumusobra na kayo.”

Nicole shared how the photographer thoughtfully asked her if her belly button should be edited, but she said no. “I embrace all my body changes including developing umbilical hernia from my 1st pregnancy. And if having more children will make my body go through more changes, then I will be more than willing to embrace them. Having a baby is a blessing, a miracle in itself.”

She ended her tirade by saying she’ll pray for the hater. “I hope that your mother will never have to go through body-shaming. I pray that you will be careful with your words next time because words can kill or heal.”

It's a pretty powerful post, and so allow us to share Nicole's words in its entirety below:
