I’m an unapologetic fat girl – trolls tell me not to wear a bikini but I don’t care, if you don’t like it, look away
A PLUS-SIZE woman has been slammed by trolls who tell her not to wear a bikini, but she refuses and flaunts her figure in string swimwear instead.
Abby Bible, who posts on TikTok under the handle @theabbybible, is determined not to let the haters get her down.
The size 22 fashion influencer describes herself as an ‘unapologetic fat gal and fashion lover’.
As a result of her stylish outfits and optimistic attitude, the New York City fashionista has garnered a huge following on social media, with 174.5k loyal followers on TikTok.
Though her social media platforms are overflowing with love, Abby does have to deal with the occasional troll.
But rather than let them affect her confidence, she chooses to face the online haters head-on and often shares the comments with her social media followers.
In a recent clip, Abby wore a strappy red bikini and responded to a nasty comment from a troll.
The comment read: “Fat people shouldn’t wear string bikinis.”
To this, Abby put on her sunglasses, stared into the camera and mimed: “I don’t care.”
She then added: “If you don’t like it, look away.”
Abby’s video has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly amassed thousands of views.
It has 1,971 likes, 36 comments and 7 shares.
Social media users were overwhelmingly positive in the comments and were eager to share their love for Abby.
One person said: “You’re so pretty.”
Another added: “Yes queen.”
A third commented: “Wear what the f*** you want. You look gorgeous.”
Meanwhile, one woman noted: “I bought my first one because of you. Seriously.”
Whilst someone else posted: “’Fat people shouldn’t’ QUESTION: Does the thing they’re doing that’s bothering you only bother you and not harm you? Then get over it.”
Previously, Abby uploaded a photo of her eating a hot dog, already anticipating the spew of hate she was bound to receive from trolls.
She wrote: “I love the power of knowing how many people will get p***ed off at a fat person gleefully eating a hot dog on the internet.”
In another photo caption, Bible thanked her supporters, as she noted: “So I hit 50k [followers] yesterday?!? It is mind-blowing to me that anybody wants to hear about my life or my fashion choices.
“Sometimes I get so discouraged by how hateful people on the internet can be, but knowing that I could make at least one person smile or take a baby step towards loving themselves more, makes it all worth it.
“So thank you all for being here.”
On Instagram, Abby also explained: “For so many years, I was hesitant to wear sneakers and no makeup out.
“I thought I had to constantly look ‘put together’ as a fat person.
“But y’all… fat people are allowed to be casual too!
“Years ago I would’ve never worn something oversized in fear of looking bigger. Aka my own internalised fatphobia.
“But fashion is way more fun when you stop worrying about what’s ‘flattering’ and instead wearing what simply brings you joy.”
