In a lengthy Instagram post from 2019, she revealed that an American modeling agency once told her to “stop squatting” to achieve her much-needed smaller hip size.
She wrote: ‘I was quite angry that someone else’s opinion of me was really affecting the way I viewed my own body. I started hating my butt, hating my curves and hating my muscles because I was told to lose them.”
She continued, “It’s been a journey, but I’m so glad I got to a point where I could appreciate my body for what it could do and not so much for what it looked like… But it was also fun to appreciate my body to change. thinking about it and also enjoying what it looks like.”
