Social media – it’s a double-edged sword! On the one hand, it can present a truly false version of ‘reality’ that creates a difficult standard for anyone to live up to… On the other, it’s a platform for direct connection, a place where people can express their feelings and make their opinions heard – no need for a middleman in the form of the press.
Recently, we’ve been living for the very real interactions we’ve been experiencing from some powerful influencers and celebs. These five celebs have been opening up about their relationships with their bodies, how they’re trying to be kind to themselves or just sharing candidly in a way that is so refreshing to see.

4. Cardi B
Cardi B is another celeb who has been wrongfully subjected to body shaming during quarantine. However, Cardi is the queen of IDGAF attitude, so naturally, she pays no attention to body shamers and instead posts hilariously relatable videos instead.

Billie released a video titled “Not My Responsibility,” in which she slowly undresses, then submerges into a pool of black water. During the video, which now has over 22 million views, she addresses the audience directly, highlighting and questioning the body scrutiny she experiences on a daily basis. Her message is clear and powerful – a must-watch.
