Plus-sized influencer defends her body after being shamed by neighbors

A TikTok video has recently gone viral, sparking widespread discussion about body positivity. This video challenges the traditional beauty standards and underscores the essential notion of being comfortable in one’s own skin.

In the spotlight is Gillian, a self-assured woman who proudly identifies as plus-size. She uses fashion as a means of expressing her individuality and celebrates her body with flair.

“I’m a fatty and wear what I want in my pool. I don’t care if it makes my neighbors uncomfortable,” she declared in an interview. Her video boldly bears the title: “What I wear in my pool that makes my neighbor feel uncomfortable.”

In the video, Gillian, known as @spanxbeluga, demonstrates her fearless approach to poolside fashion, playfully transitioning from a lively orange summer dress to a light blue bikini.

Despite frequently facing criticism for her fashion choices, Gillian stands firm in her belief that everyone deserves the liberty to express themselves through their attire, irrespective of others’ judgments.

When confronted with comments about modesty, one individual noted that modesty seemed old-fashioned. Gillian humorously countered that it should have become obsolete long ago.

Her video has also garnered a wave of positive feedback. Many viewers commend her confidence and suggest that her neighbor’s disapproval may be rooted in envy.

Gillian clarifies her intentions, stating that making others uncomfortable is not her objective. Nevertheless, she insists on her right to wear clothes that bring her joy and confidence.

“It is not my goal to make people uncomfortable. People are uncomfortable because I wear what I want, and I’m a bigger person,” she explained. “It’s not on me. I’m not going to cover up. I’m just not gonna cover up for anyone. That’s not who I am. I’m not going to feel bad about how I look,” she added.

She emphasizes her happiness and self-acceptance, asserting, “I’m comfortable in my own skin, and I wear what I want to wear. Clothing is a form of expression, and I want to wear what I like, and that’s just what I do. And society isn’t going to tell me not to.”

Did Sandra Bullock’s Son ‘Finally Confirm the Rumors’?

Online advertisements about the Oscar-winning actress and her son had appeared in various forms at the beginning of 2021.

In February 2021, a misleading online advertising appeared about Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock’s son. It read: “[Photos] Sandra Bullock’s Son Finally Confirms the Rumors.” The picture chosen by the ad’s creator showed her with a serious facial expression as if some sort of bad and damaging rumors were revealed.

In that story, we reported:

Despite what the ad said about Bullock’s son looking “familiar” to readers, it’s unlikely that anyone recognized her children because they are not public figures. The ad also claimed that Bullock’s son was “all grown up.” This was false.

Hollywood celebrity Sandra Bullock is loved by many for her passionate acting in many films. One life-long role Sandra took on was being a mother to her first child, an adopted son named Louis Bardot. In 2010, the Oscar winner was already in a four-year process of adopting a child with her then-husband Jesse James when she found out about his many affairs.

After their split, Bullock herself continued with the adoption of then-three-month-old cutie Louis from New Orleans. In 2015, the “Birdbox” (2018) star grew her brood and adopted her daughter, Laila, from Louisiana.

We also previously reported on similarly misleading ads about Tom Selleck purportedly “finally” confirming some rumors. Selleck’s trustworthy reputation and no-nonsense onscreen characters might be the reason why his face appears (without his permission) in so many misleading online ads.
