Craziest celeb body shaming stories
Author, screenwriter, actress and producer Lena Dunham literally can't get a break when it comes to people judging her body. While starring on her hit HBO series "Girls," on which she frequently appeared nude, Lena was called horrible names (like "bag of milk" and "cow") by internet trolls. In 2015, she famously handed her Twitter account over to someone else to manage because of all the "verbal violence" she experienced from body shamers. Lena never let the hatred get her down though, and has long been a beacon for body positivity and leader of the body acceptance movement. In 2017, she experienced a new wave of attacks when she debuted her slimmer figure after committing herself to exercise and yoga in order to "feel strong" and manage her endometriosis symptoms. Instead of praising her hard work, critics slammed her as "a hypocrite." Calling herself a "body-shaming vigilante," Lena posted on Instagram that she was "proud of what this body has seen and done and represented" and that she doesn't give "even the tiniest of s---s" about anyone else's opinion of her.
