My family calls me names because of my swimsuits – now I buy the smallest bikinis to spite them
A YOUNG woman has decided to wear swimsuits she likes — even if her family doesn’t.
She’s had enough of their sniping and name-calling and has no intention of listening to them in the future.
Influencer Chelsea Collins (@chelseacollinsxo) is going to do things her way.
She already has enormous appeal on her TikTok with over 194,000 followers and another whopping 3.1 million likes.
Her posts are often cooky and screwball in nature.
“I love telling stories through music,” she said.
But there was a poignancy to this post. In it, she rocked a skimpy leopard print bikini.
She explained some of the name-calling she has had to endure came from people close to her.
“Two of my family who call me a hoe for wearing a bikini,” she wrote.
Then continued: “And hitting puberty at nine, in my honest opinion.”
Chelsea described this as a “family trauma,” but she had a plan of action going forward.
“Now I buy the smallest bikinis in spite of y’all,” she said with masses of defiance.
She finished her post with two fingers to the camera.
One commenter had been through a similar experience and shared her story.
“So rough. I was so embarrassed and on top of it people are judgey and make you feel bad about it for getting a woman’s body early,” they said.
But the final commenter said to be proud: “If you got it, flaunt it, beautiful,” they said.
