Lesego Tlhabi Shares How She Got Fat Shamed By A Major Local Designer. Body shaming is one of the major disadvantages of being a celebrity, because people genuinely think it\u2019s okay to to comment on someones body, especially when their plus size.<\/strong><\/p>\n Many plus sized celebs have spoken up about bullies who throw insensitive judgments on social media and publicly regarding their weight and looks, and it\u2019s not okay.<\/p>\n Larger than life celebrity Lesego Thlabi took to twitter to share her experience of fat shaming from a local designer, of which she chose to keep private because of work obligations.<\/p>\n In a series of tweets, the Trending SA<\/em> host shared that a famous designer who was previously briefed about her dress size, decided to cause a scene about her size in the store for everyone to hear.<\/p>\n Not only did they humiliate her but the designer also used an insensitive slur to refer to her when the dress didn\u2019t fit, of which hurt her very deeply<\/p>\n \u201cSo today I went to a famous designer who was told my sizes way beforehand because it\u2019s for TV. Does he not then declare very loudly in the store after a failed try-on that he has nothing for me & then uses words like \u201cfatty boom boom\u201d to describe how I\u2019d look in the designs. Yoh<\/em>\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n She further mentioned that Fat phobia is twice as hurtful as any other shaming, and making someone feel like their not worthy is the most cruel thing that anyone could ever do to another human being.<\/p>\n \u201cTo the convo this week, this is why fatphobia is so different than other shaming. I was made to feel like less than nothing today because of my body. My body is not good enough for his dresses & he let that shit be known. He really could\u2019ve said that to the stylist ON THE PHONE\u201d<\/em> she wrote.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
