Anytime someone relatively known posts a picture of themselves on the Internet, it is expected that some people will find a reason to bash them. And it seems that some folks are now aiming their hate at model Barbara Palvin, calling her “fat.”
The 22-year-old took it to Twitter to respond to some fat-shaming comments she seemed to receive on her Instagram photos, most likely the ones from a recent Sports Illustrated photo shoot.

One such “fat” comment came from this friendly user that commented on Instagram:
Man, you’re an asshole. Sorry 🙁
And while people were bashing Palvin, people did come to her aid such as this comment below:
And then there were these defenders:
“Barbara Palvin is fat”
Well in that case I would like to be fat too . pic.twitter.com/539IngDzmZ— Erica Fluskey (@ericafluskey_) February 22, 2016

It’s a little sad that Palvin had to go out of her way to defend herself after dumb comments aimed at her, but at the end of the day she makes more money than all of us so she wins.
