Former GNTM candidate: “Pregnant or just fat?” – Romina Palm defends herself from body shaming

With mask and eye pads, dressed in a crop top that showed part of her belly: this is how Romina Palm showed her followers on Instagram a few days ago. The former candidate “Germany’s next supermodel” just wanted to take her fans with her morning beauty routine, but shortly thereafter she found deeply damaging comments in her inbox.

“Dude, are you pregnant? Or just gaining weight?” and “I thought you were somehow prettier” are the words that can be read in it. Romina herself did not want to let her statements settle on her and then shared them with the whole community of her. In the screenshot she posted in her story about her, she wrote: “Yes, I got fat! What now! Does that make me a different person now? Am I worth less now? There is so much more that defines me than my weight.” .

The subject is sensitive to the model. He has struggled with an eating disorder since he was 13, as he has revealed in the past. That’s why he wants to encourage those affected and posts a short clip on this topic in his feed of him. “After seven years of eating disorder, I’m finally starting to enjoy food to the fullest again and I can’t see the calories constantly spinning in front of me. And should I spoil it with a message like this? No! Not with me,” he commented.

The contribution is aimed at people who doubt themselves, do not know their value or simply do not find themselves beautiful. “Who has the right to judge your body? Right, nobody! I want you to stand in front of the mirror right now and say out loud something you love about yourself. This is exactly what you are repeating every night now! Okay? », Closes the post Romina.
