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."

I agree, we all couldn’t thank you enough. Would have been really hard to view Michael in a bikini!

It's harder for it to hide its "package" in a Bikini.

BOL!

I felt that someone would agree with me. Bingo:

“Some would say, there is no God, in reply #3!”

Michelle Obama might have to reverse her bikini, wearing the top piece on her bottom, to accommodate a couple things bouncing around down there, and wearing the bottom piece on her top (maybe as a covid mask).

Be hard to hide Mike under those skimpy conditions.

I went through hundreds of photos of Michael online to find something that could be used here . . .

The shrink said he can’t get me in for at least two weeks. What will I do?

That was my goal as well, Mike.

[DAC21]

The chances that Mike even wore a Bikini in those years are NONE, even in a White House closet with the light off.

[just Grace]

The powers that be are still trying to convince us that Big Mike is female.

Agree. We can say this or that, but; without verification it is not convincing.

>>>one of Michelle’s goals as First Lady was to never be photographed by the paparazzi in a bikini or swimming costume,<<<

And we’re VERY thankful for that! I shudder at the thought of her in a bikini.
