Kris Bernal to body-shaming victims: 'You are beautiful whatever your shape is'

Kris Bernal, who has been vocal on experiencing body-shaming in the past, is encouraging all those who have suffered through the same thing.

In an Instagram post on Friday, the actress wrote, "At one time or another, you might have experienced body shaming the same way that I did. Waking up every day to people commenting on my body wasn’t easy at all."

"Thankfully, I am pretty headstrong and kept channeling all this negativity into my work. I would look myself in the mirror, smile, and say 'Always choose kindness. You are beautiful,'" she added.

Kris also said that people must always be reminded that no body is perfect.

"If you are also a victim of body shaming, I understand you and let’s make sure to not tolerate it. Let’s educate people on what is right," she said.

"People are skinny, curvy, tall, short, petite, large, and that’s just the reality of things! You are beautiful whatever your shape is because you are God’s creation. When you know your worth and value from God, no one can already make you feel worthless, less valuable, or unloved," she added. —Kaela Malig/JCB, GMA News
