t's no secret that body shaming still exists, and it can be especially prevalent for celebrities and people in the public eye.
And it turns out even the former First Lady of the US, Michelle Obama, isn't unaffected by the prospect of coming under scrutiny when it comes to body shaming.
In fact, her husband Barack Obama has reportedly revealed that one of Michelle's goals as First Lady was to never be photographed by the paparazzi in a bikini or swimming costume, presumably partly down to the prospect of receiving harsh comments and not wanting her privacy to be violated.
In his new memoir The Promised Land, Barack tells a story of how he and daughter Sasha were once heading on a trip to the beach, with Michelle refusing to go with them. He goes on to say that Michelle had vowed that as First Lady she wouldn't be photographed in a swimsuit.
Barack has since told Vanity Fair, "She [Michelle] was serious. 'This is one of my main goals as First Lady. I will not be photographed by the paparazzi in a bathing suit,' [she said]. And she succeeded."
Finally proof that Sasquatch is real!!!!!
my mind’s eye just went blind...
Hard to tape up that wiener in a bikini there Mikey?
Yes, you got that right. I never thought we would have anything in common.
