Rolene Strauss Talks On Being Body-Shamed

Former beauty queen Rolene Strauss has opened up about being body-shamed. During her reign as Miss South Africa, she was often receiving comments about her weight.

In a YouTube link she shared, she reads out some of the comments that were made about her body and weight.

“She has always been a plus sized beauty. She has become fat. Why did she gain so much weight. She looks pregnant.”

For Rolene, the comments became facts and they made her cry.

She now realizes that when it comes to health, there is no perfect shape.

Her journey has been marked by negative comments, but has ultimately learned that, “Your race, your pace.”
