I was bullied at school for being a ‘big girl’ but now I love my 150cm ass
GRACIE Bon’s backside is giving Kim Kardashian a run for her money.
The influencer’s buttocks are no less than 55 centimeters long and have put her in the spotlight.
But when she was a child, 27-year-old Gracie became the subject of cruel bullying for being a “big girl.”
As she gets older, she has decided to “embrace” her curvy body and huge backside.
“Before I became this confident woman who loves and embraces her body, I was bullied for being a big girl,” she shared on Instagram.
“I was constantly reminded that I didn’t fit the ideal look.
“Now I don’t care what anyone thinks about my body.
“I decided that my body and my curves and everything that made me different were my strengths.
“I started standing up for myself and embracing every part of me that God gave me.”
Gracie describes her journey as one from “self-doubt to self-love.”
And while she has never confirmed that she had a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) treatment to further strengthen her behind, social media sleuths are convinced that she did.
The Panama-born content creator insists her body is “what God gave her” in a number of videos on her social media channels.
In June, Gracie claimed she was “body shaming” during a family trip to Disneyland.
After the trip, she criticized critics on Instagram, saying she was just trying to enjoy the attractions but was subjected to snickering from strangers.
Not only that, but some even took pictures of her without her consent.
“People kept staring at my curvy body, but it makes me unique,” she said.
What are Brazilian butt lifts and why are they so popular?
Buttock augmentation surgery – known as a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) – is used to make the buttocks look bigger, rounder and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject fillers or place silicone-filled implants.
According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), it is the fastest growing cosmetic procedure, but also one of the most dangerous.
Many patients travel to places like Turkey or seek out unregistered surgeons in Britain and are not given full information about the risks.
BBLs carry the highest risk of all cosmetic procedures – with more than one death per 4,000 procedures.
Because celebrities undergo such surgeries, many women hope to emulate their appearance.
Consultant clinical psychologist Dr Anu Sayal-Bennett, a charter member of the British Psychological Society, said the BBC: “Despite so much talk about body positivity, there is pressure on women – and men too – to look a certain way.”
Many people travel abroad for the procedure because it is cheaper and advertising is “terribly tempting”, combined with the idea of a beach holiday, Dr Sayal-Bennett added.
‘It’s time to stop body shaming.
“We are all different shapes and sizes and that makes us unique.”
Her social media posts have earned her as many as nine million followers on Instagram.
Her recent videos include clips of her working out at a gym, posing in front of a billboard with her infamous behind on it, and fashion broadcasts.
