Victoria’s Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel’s comeback to body-shamers on Instagram will shock you!

Candice Swanepoel: a Victoria’s Secret Angel, was on the receiving end of body-shaming comments on Instagram in regard to a postnatal bikini picture she posted. Candice happily took the situation as an opportunity to shut down shamers with a positive and empowering message:

“ This is me 12 days after having my son. If you have something bad to say about it… check yourself. Society can be so cruel to one another. Beauty standards are sometimes impossible for women these days.I'm not ashamed to show my post-partum tummy. I am proud actually… I carried my son for 9 months in there. I think I've earned the right to have a little tummy. Is it because I'm a model? Well we are normal people too, so let me enjoy the beach in peace please.”

Body shaming is a bad and cruel practice that usually occurs online in the form of hate comments. Swanepoel has done a commendable job at standing up for not just herself but for women around the world who have been facing similar situations. Her 12 million plus followers have reposted and retweeted this post to the point that it is now viral, future-proofing self acceptance and positivity throughout social media websites.
