Daughter of singer Arlindo Cruz, Flora Cruz, 18, aims to encourage other plus size women to like and accept themselves on social media. However, a recent post with her in lingerie made her leave social media.
The model suffered several fatphobic attacks and made a point of exposing some of them on her own account. In a statement, she said she will wait for the dust to settle before returning to the online publishing routine.
Among the insults and insults, many criticize her body and the way she behaves. In another post, Flora pointed out what was affecting her and asked for less prejudice in Brazil.
“Not every fat woman thinks the same about obesity and fatphobia. Daily we see thin bodies in lingerie rehearsals, in sex shop pages, in commercials and even then ‘ok’. But why does a fat body shock people so much?”, he asked. .
“My fight is so that before being judged by appearance, you listen to ideas. Evaluate character. Change an idea. It doesn’t matter if the person is fat or thin”, he amended.
The influencer said that she does not intend to stop posting photos that show her body. “This is an outburst. It’s my tiredness at being condemned for just being me. It’s having fingers pointed all the time when no one knows the struggles of each day.”
