According to the Canadian social media star, who is a size 6XL, she is regularly attacked by keyboard warriors who attack her for her curves.
The 27-year-old first made headlines after she launched a petition calling for free airline seats and wider hotel hallways for plus-size vacationers, followed by seatbelt extenders from Uber and Lyft.
Her growing online presence has now been accompanied by an army of internet trolls, who tell her to “stay home” and compare her to “a whale.”
After proving that regular seat belts don’t work for her, one social media user said, “When something wasn’t working for me because of my own personal reasons, I changed myself for the better. It’s that simple.”
Another agreed, adding: “I don’t want to be rude, but if you need an extension to use your seat belt in the car, that’s a sign you need to buckle up and lose some weight.”
“This girl is actually trying to change the world instead of herself…” wrote one sharp critic.
But despite the brutal bullying online, where she has nearly 140,000 followers, Jaelynn is unstoppable. She claims that the same men who comment on her appearance are also the ones who ask her out.
“You gym freaks love to troll my TikTok comments and say all kinds of things about bigger women.
“But guess what? Those same guys sneak into my Tinder messages every day.
“Make it logical!” the influencer said in the videowhere she proudly showed off her curves in a jungle-themed bikini.
“Isn’t that a realistic check?
“To all the ‘gym rats’ who preach one thing and practice another: actions speak louder than words.”
Jaelynn regularly takes to her social media to discuss the perceived discrimination she faces as a fan of traveling plus-size models, especially at airports.
“Yes, God sent this fat bitch to piss off the world and bring about change,” she said earlier.
”In a world where being thin is glorified and being fat is demonized, expressing criticism becomes an act of resistance.
