Karens say I shouldn’t wear a bikini on the beach at 55 – but I’m not going anywhere, so deal with it
A PROFESSIONAL belly dancer has hit right back at beach-side Karens who said she shouldn’t wear a bikini at her age.
She might be 55, she said, but that doesn’t mean she was going to stop wearing a two-piece – so they had just better deal with it.
Rena (@reeshagaia) made it very clear in her post that she had no intention of listening to her detractors.
With over 13,000 likes on her TikTok, this lady has a lot of support.
Her working life keeps her body fit, trimmed, and toned.
She is a “professional belly dancer performer, instructor, choreographer, and fitness enthusiast,” and those hours dedicated to her figure show in her video.
On a beautiful sunny day, Rena is filmed walking on a beach away from the crashing surf.
She rocked a scarlet red bikini and oozed confidence, ignoring the calls of the Karens.
Rena made an assertion that she said applied to many women of her age: “We are more confident in our fifties.”
“To the haters who tell me to leave ‘cause I’m 55,” she captioned her post.
But she was not about to hide behind any beach hut because she had something to say to her critics, and she did not mince her words.
“F*ck off, I’m not going anywhere. Deal with it,” she said with certainty.
Commenters loved her kick-butt attitude.
“I’m a 54-year-old woman and you motivate me to be more confident and beautiful,” was the view of this fan.
Don’t go anywhere begged this guy: “Leave? They need to place the red carpet out for you. You go girl.”
“You’re putting 20-year-old girls to shame. Hold your head high and be proud of everything. You’re gorgeous,” opined this viewer.
This commenter was breathless: “Holy smokes. You’re on fire.”
The closing commenter, however, tried to reason with the behavior of the Karens: “Absolutely gorgeous. Jealously brings out the worst in the weak.”
