One of Michelle Obama's goals as First Lady was to not be photographed in a bikini

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."

She always has her gold plated Boob-Belts if she wants to rock the boat.

We're getting inundated with Obamao BS....because if PDJT doesn't get this stolen election straightened out, Obama gets another term.

The inside scoop:

“She” tried her darnedest to be photographed in a bikini, but the camera was very reluctant, and when forced to open its shutter, it promptly broke.

I’m not scrolling down this thread any farther than #1. I just can’t take any chances with this one.

“She” has enough of a package that “she” couldn’t hide it in a standard tank suit, the tight fitting kind that’s usually used in women’s swimming and diving competition. Of course, a low cut bikini would give “her” even more trouble. I do wonder where that package comes from, sine her daughters’ birth certificates do list “her” as their mother.

The leftist press desperately wanted Michelle to be an icon of style, beauty, and grace. She was a satisfactory Michelle.

No one was ever going to force her a bikini or swim suit. If she didn’t want to be seen in one, don’t wear one.

It’s the smartest thing she ever said, and I couldn’t agree with her more. She’s the last woman on earth that has to worry about being objectified.
