Despite being together for over a decade and having two children, the gorgeous lady still receives criticism from trolls who throw their weight around.
The mother of two claims she often hears people ask, “How did she get him?”
But despite being told that because she’s ‘fat’ she automatically ‘bumps’ into her man, Brooke has vowed to proudly show off her curves in sleek clothes.
The mother, who doesn’t believe her belly should be hidden, showed that everyone can feel confident, regardless of their size and shape.
Brooke took to the popular social media platform to make it clear to her fans that it’s acceptable to see a rounder stomach through your clothes.
Posing in a figure-hugging midi dress layered with a comfy tee, the fashionista said: “I want to remind you that it’s okay to see your belly in your clothes.
“You don’t have to be flat to wear a tight dress.”
The responses to the positive and encouraging post suggested that people agreed with Brooke, who has nearly 33,000 followers on her page.
One user commented: “This is me today. I’m out for the day, walking around feeling uncomfortable with my mommy belly, but then I think ‘sod it – who the hell is looking at me?'”
Another joined in the conversation: “Yep, yep, yep.”
A third also wrote: “I just can’t… I wish I could.”
Brooke previously indicated that her relationship with her husband goes much deeper than just appearance.
“We’ve seen so many versions of each other, shared so many memories and been through so much together,” Brooke said.
“I raised and brought our children into the world twice.
What is body shaming?
BODY shaming is defined as “humiliating someone by making inappropriate or derogatory comments about their body size or shape”.
Additionally, “commenting on someone’s clothing, body hair, eating habits, makeup skills, or attractiveness” could also be considered body shaming, PsychCentral explained.
While body shaming has become an increasing problem in recent years, a 2000 survey by Glamour magazine found that a whopping 97 percent of women surveyed admitted to having an “I hate my body” moment.
And those who shame people because of their figure can also be doctors and medical staff.
A 2019 report found that more than 3 in 5 adults experience “weight discrimination” from their doctor, especially those who are obese.
And body shaming can have huge consequences for someone’s mental health, even leading to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and self-harm.
If you have experienced body shaming and are struggling to deal with the aftermath, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 for confidential, emotional support.
“We have been there for each other through the deepest valleys and the greatest highs.
“We are each other’s family and home, forever and ever.”
The mother of two also shared a message to annoying trolls and keyboard warriors who comment on other people’s bodies.
“To the anonymous, nameless people who think it’s okay to talk to strangers on the internet like this: I truly hope you get the help you need to get out of that dark place.
“Do some inner work and reflect on yourself instead of projecting your thoughts onto others.”
