A COUPLE have hit back at nasty trolls who say Terrance is only with Nikki for money.
The US-based couple have been together for seven months and in that time already faced hate from strangers.
The pair were first introduced by a mutual friend, but Nikki was wary about her best friend Kristin setting them up.
After seeing a picture of Terrance she gave it the go ahead and the pair began to text and Facetime after Nikki made sure Kristin had “warned” Terrance that she was plus size in case he was put off by it.
But Nikki had no reason to be concerned her weight would be used as weapon as it had been in previous toxic relationships, Terrance loves her just the way she is.
In fact, Terrance loves a bigger woman and says Nikki is his third mixed-weight relationship, he told Truly.
Nikki added: “I’ve always dated smaller guys. A lot of times, as a plus size girl, you can’t really tell if they actually like you or if they’re fetishizing you.
“So if I feel like you don’t actually like me, you just like what I look like, that would definitely keep me from dating.
“My size has held me back from doing certain things in life, like amusement parks, rides, fair rides. Generally, I do think society is fatphobic, definitely.”
And cruel trolls online don’t stop with the bulling, with some seemingly baffled that Nikki can be in a hapyy relationship because of her weight.
One wrote: “That’s the best he can get?” While another quipped: “Perfect for a desperate man.”
“I remember one comment, he’s with her because she pays off bills or another one called me a bum or whatnot,” added Terrance.
Despite the nasty comments, Nikki reveals many plus size women have thanked her for sharing her life and style online as it’s given them confidence in their body shape too.
The video posted to Truly’s YouTube account has gone viral with over 17k views,
People were quick to take to the comment section and share their thoughts, with many in support of the happy couple.
One person wrote: “Society is horrible to people overweight. People treat them like they’re not human it’s actually so sad.”
