On April 1, Aerie model Iskra Lawrence responded to a rude, fat shaming comment in the most perfect way possible.
Iskra, a plus size model (size 12), is part of Aerie's Real Campaign that features only non-retouched ads.
The model, who has previously used social media to share motivational posts about how she is more than comfortable with her body, was responding to the awful comment made by someone on Twitter. The comment read, "Fat cow. It's only cus every F****r on this planet is obese that that's the norm... Plus-size models? give me a F*****g breaking. Everyone needs to stop eating McDonald's, the NHS is f****d because of people like her eating too many bags of crisps."
In response, the model posted two very "Real" posts that Aerie would be proud of, the first being a sexy image of herself posing in a pile of junk food. The second post featured a video of the model looking great and using a certain provocative gesture to tell that man exactly what she thinks of him.
CNN reported that "By Wednesday afternoon, her video had drawn more than 73,000 likes and almost 5,000 comments, the vast majority of them supportive." You go, girl!
