Camila Cabello vents about bikini sightings: ‘I’m exhausted’

The singer Camila Cabello, 25, made a long outburst on her social networks about the exposure of her body. In 2021, on at least two occasions, the artist had her appearance questioned

This practice is called “body shaming,” and it tries to make a person feel ashamed of their body. On social media, Camila wrote about how she is photographed and how her body is portrayed.

“Every time I go to this beach club in Miami I get photographed by paparazzi. Somehow when I check in the paparazzi know and register me in a bikini and every time I feel super vulnerable and unprepared,” she wrote. .

“I wore tiny bikinis and didn’t care what I looked like. Then I saw pictures online and comments and I was so upset. I was reminded of how it impacted my self-esteem and how I was thinking about the culture and not my own.” A culture that has become so used to an image of what a “healthy” woman’s body looks like that is not completely real for many women,” Camila continued.

The artist added: “Photoshop, restrictive eating, over-exercising and choosing angles that make our bodies look different from how they are at the moment and in their natural shape, when we take a deep breath, when we eat a meal, when we allow the waves shake us around”.

After the long outburst, the singer wrote how she had to take refuge in order not to be caught. “PS: I fled to the pool area where I hope they [os paparazzi] can’t photograph me, but they literally hide in the bushes sometimes. I’m exhausted,” she concluded.

BODY SHAMING

In June 2021, the singer was photographed in a bikini on a beach in Miami (USA), and also suffered attacks on her physical shape as the photos went viral. The artist, who became known for her work in the musical group Fifth Harmony, received support from her fans and thanked her for the support.

“Thank you for all the love [que enviaram] yesterday and today. I love you”, wrote the singer in her Stories on Instagram. On Twitter, she came to be among the most talked about subjects at the time with messages of identification and empowerment.

The following month, in July 2021, the singer posted a video with the caption “I love my body”. In it, Camila Cabello comments on the origin of the criticism made about her body, in particular, her belly while exercising.

“I was just running in the park, minding my own business, trying to stay in shape, trying to stay healthy, and I’m wearing a tank top that shows my belly,” he said.

“And I wasn’t trying to hide her, because I was running around and existing like a normal person who doesn’t suck in her stomach all the time,” Camilla continued, making faces and mouths.
