In today’s digital age, sharing personal moments online has become commonplace, with some photos and videos reaching millions. Many people, including internet influencers, use these platforms to gain attention and followers. However, this visibility can sometimes lead to negative experiences. Gracie Bon, a plus-size influencer with over 3 million TikTok followers and 6 million Instagram followers, faced such a challenge. She regularly shares videos on social media and decided to spend a fun day at Disneyland Paris with her siblings. Unfortunately, her day took a turn for the worse when she became the target of body-shaming. As Gracie enjoyed the park, people began laughing at her and taking photos, making her feel self-conscious and bullied. She expressed her frustration, saying, “It’s time to stop body-shaming other people. I wanted to have fun with my siblings, but our day was ruined by all the people making fun of the size of my body. The worst part is that they teach their kids to do the same.” Gracie emphasized the impact of such behavior, noting, “Even if you have a condition or you look different, you shouldn’t get bullied for the way you look. I would never talk negatively about someone else’s appearance. Respect is key. This should be a safe place where everyone feels comfortable. And I wasn’t doing anything, just existing.” Despite the negative experience, Gracie remains a source of inspiration to her millions of followers. She continues to advocate for self-love and respect, highlighting the importance of treating everyone with kindness and dignity.
