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."
We can't thank you enough, Mike.
I need to thank him too
Some would say, there is no God?
No hiding a package in a bikini.
lol
Ya know how when you were a kid, you watched a good horror movie by looking through your fingers so you couldn’t REALLY see everything that was happening?
I just didn’t trust that there was no image on this thread.
I’ve got issues at it is.
That would push me over the edge :)
Pressing that mental picture delete button 1000 times like a weasel on meth.
The one time all America was united and rooting for an Obama to succeed.
One of my goals is to never see her in a bikini, so we’ve got that going for us.
If you have ever seen a rear photo of her big butt, you can understand her desires.
And itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polka dot ... banana hammock.
Don’t wear one. Problem solved.
It’s not like America was crying out to see her in a bikini.
Turns a regular bathing suit into a thong...
I don’t recall something like this ever said about Rosalynn Carter or Nancy Reagan or Betty Ford or Pat Nixon. Why would this ever be mentioned about this person?
We are all very very thankful.
I have my food and water all over me....LMAO
With those arms what could go wrong?
I’m sure a picture of Big Mike in a bikini would make a train take a dirt road, or maybe knock a buzzard off a pile of roadkill. That would be something you couldn’t unsee.
CAUGHT!
