A BODY positive woman has embraced her inner and outer beauty despite critics calling her ugly and fat.
The model dubbed herself the CEO of Confidence and said her face card doesn’t decline.
Plus-size Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Gabriella “Ella” Athena Halikas (@ellahalikas) shares body confident and self-love-themed content online.
In a video, she shared a strong statement aimed at her trolls and people who doubted her.
Throughout her modeling and social media careers, Ella has received tons of negativity online for embracing her curvy shape.
She wrote in the video caption: “CEO of Confidence with a message to my haters. Thank you so much.”
She spoke to her audience while she sat in the car and revealed some of the mean comments she’d received.
“Baby you can call me fat, but you can’t call me ugly. I said what I said. This fact card? She doesn’t decline,” she said.
“She’s so fat. She’s so ugly. She must eat McDonald’s every day. Stop promoting obesity,” she rattled on.
Ella then showed visual examples of how beautiful she was in a photo shoot with famed photographer Anthony Serrantonio.
The brunette bombshell wore a strapless black form-fitting sequin gown with a side slit and a plunging neckline.
“Explain that. She looks good to me,” she said as she pointed to a glamorous photo in the style.
“Ugly where? Ugly who? Obese who? I’m applying pressure. We don’t stop here. We keep applying,” she gushed.
Ella excitedly referenced the images that “ate” and looked like “chef’s kiss.”
She said sarcastically: “Like you cannot call me ugly, but I’m just so fat. Crazy. Crazy.”
Women flooded the comments with supportive words.
“People WISH they were are gorgeous as you!! These photos are it!” a viewer commented.
“All you EVER need to say is SI Swimsuit Edition,” another added.
“People WISH they had the confidence and beauty you have. You’re always slaying in my eyes girl,” a fan complimented.
Another praised: “You carry that beauty and attitude allll through this life!”
