Julie Tan Claps Back Against Body Shamers Who Compared Her To An “Airport”
A large number of the crass comments appear to have been left by men.
In case you haven’t been on Instagram in the past few weeks — Julie Tan jetted off to the Maldives in early September, and she’s been filling our Instagram feeds with envy-worthy snaps of her gorgeous beach vacay.
And of course, a beach vacay would also mean swimsuit pics, right?
On September 21, the 29-year-old actress and video game streamer posted a picture of her lounging by a beachside pool in a bikini, with this caption: "I’ve had many haters make snide remarks about my body, flat chest, airport yada yada. One more comment don’t make no difference. Bring it. (sic)”.
As it turns out, Julie had posted a video of the view she woke up to every morning in her private villa, which comes with a built-in pool, and an unobstructed view of the sea.
“No wonder can travel although covid… she got her own airport (sic),” one crass netizen wrote.
Julie remains very much unbothered by these netizens, though.
She's comfortable in her own skin, thank you very much
Never one to wilt in the face of criticism, Julie had previously shared in interviews that she’d once considered going under the knife to get a boob job.
According to Julie, her 17-year-old self had gone as far as to consult doctors to understand more about the surgery.
However, she eventually decided to back out from it because of her low threshold for pain. She also realised that “it’s okay to not have big boobs”
Now, some 12 years on, Julie has fully embraced the concept of self-love, and is not shy to clap back at any netizen who dares to body shame her.
Don't even try to come for her
“To all the insecure guys commenting about my body, I pity the women in your life. Past, present and future,” she wrote in a comment. And yes, a large number of the crass comments appear to have been left by men.
A day later, she uploaded a video of her grooving to some music on TikTok, along with this caption: “Say what you like about my body. It’s just a reflection of who you are. I love my body, so boo (sic)”, along with the hashtag “say no to body shaming”.
Preach.
