Does weight even matter?" she continued."The modeling industry has gotten so much backlash for not having plus-sized models, now they're doing diversity with all different types of people and cultures.""Alana actually stood up and did it, and hopefully she gives others the courage to do it," she said.
"I feel like my generation is probably making it worse. Everybody's all about body positivity, body positivity, until they see a body they don't like," she explained."I don't understand why people think this way. Just because I got a little bit of extra meat on my bones, you want to hate me? I'll never get body shaming."The reality star also said she wasn't affected by unrealistic beauty standards on social media.
"I don't ever look at people and I'm like, 'Oh, I wish I was like her,'" she noted."Because I don't ever wish to be like nobody. I am my own person."This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
