A few weeks after Victoria’s Secret got into hot water for its Perfect Body campaign , one of that brand’s models have fired back at critics who argue she has anything but the perfect body. Sara Sampaio – who is expected to walk the catwalk at the upcoming Victoria’s Secret Fashion show – recently posted a picture of herself in a bikini to Instagram. And it was met with excessive insults from social media users who harassed Sampaio for being all skin and bones. In response, Sampaio posted a defense of her figure, coming down hard on folks for trying to make a woman feel badly about her body. “I’m proud of my body and I’m not gonna let any of you bully me just because I’m skinny!” the brunette wrote. “Every body is different, and every metabolism is different! “I eat a lot, so next time u decide to tell me to eat a burger remember I probably eat more burgers than you, I’ve always been skinnier, and probably will always be, I workout, I’m healthy and I’m happy!” Sampaio noted that she never criticizes anyone who is overweight and said there’s a double standard at work here: It’s not okay to diss a fat woman, but it’s apparently acceptable to critique a skinny woman. “The amount of hate I see thrown at me and to other model friends that I know are naturally skinny it’s ridiculous!” she wrote. “U don’t see us shaming other types of bodies so please don’t come and shame ours! “Be happy with ur body and stop shaming others! Whether they are skinny, fat, fit, with big boobs, small boobs etc! Don’t share hate! Be happy.” 14 Celebrities Who Need to Eat Some Pie 1.

Some followers have taken Sampaio to task for being a hypocrite because she said in a recent online video that she envies the body of model Candice Swanepoel . But Sampaio writes that she loves herself just as she is. However… “I can also look at another woman and admire her beauty. In fact, I admire the beauty of many women from all areas of life, not only Candice’s…As women we need to stand together. We are [judged] and objectified often enough by men. Here is to your feminism.”
