Steph De Lander has put in a lot of effort to reinvent herself as a professional wrestler over the past few years. Despite her hard work, she continues to face criticism for reasons, particularly about her looks. In fact, De Lander recently addressed a hater who body-shamed her, standing up against the negativity.
Steph De Lander shared a photo on Twitter of herself in a bikini during a visit to Miami, where she seemed to be enjoying herself and spreading positivity to her fans. However, one hater decided to body-shame her by commenting, “Flat booty,” targeting her appearance instead of acknowledging her confidence.
The TNA star noticed the hater’s comment and responded to the body shaming in her signature style. She pointed out that some people have unrealistic expectations of women’s bodies, saying, “I’m convinced some of y’all have forgotten what a non-BBL ass looks like.”
Steph De Lander underwent neck surgery and is currently on the path to recovery, but that doesn’t mean she will not defend herself against such blatant body shaming, especially when she is clearly so confident in her own skin.
De Lander has consistently shown that she’s more than just a professional wrestler, she’s a role model for being authentic and confidently standing up to negativity. Even then, it’s simply a shame she continues to face such body shaming on social media and fans hope it eventually stops as she does not deserve it.
