Lauren Bushnell is defending herself against body-shaming trolls who criticized her physique on social media.
They think she’s too skinny. Yep, you can skinny-shame, too.
First, the recent Bachelor winner posted the pic above of her impressive abs to Snapchat.
“Still grubbin just workin hard thnx” she wrote, including a hamburger, see-no-evil monkey (?) and caterpillar (?) emoji.
Apparently, she’s been working out and later shared a photo of herself performing squats with two plates.
Her fiance Ben Higgins also took to Instagram to defend her, sharing this pic of Lauren flexing her biceps.
“She’s mine. Straight Flexin. #fitgirl,” he wrote in the caption.
But Lauren scolded him for this move, telling him he’s just inviting the trolls.
“@higgins.ben babe you are literally asking for trolls to comment on my weight,” she wrote.
“Also not actually flexing duh Get a better pic when I’m straight out of the gym n swoll n stuff,” she added. Swoll n stuff?
And she was right. The haters hated and Lauren got super riled up and unleashed an all-cap, zero punctuation rant against them:
“THIS IS THE EXACT SAME WEIGHT I WAS WHEN I STARTED THE BACHELOR THEN I DRANK WINE EVERY DAY WITH @amanda_stantonn AND THEN AFTER THE SHOW I DIDNT DRINK WINE EVERY DAY GET OFF MY SH*T THIS IS HOW GOD MADE ME BYE.”
Whoa. Nice to see she’s got a little fire in her.
As far as we can tell, Lauren and Ben are doing just swell after coming off The Bachelor earlier this year, although there was some chatter about the pair calling off their wedding.
But a couple weeks later, another source insisted that, nope, these lovebirds were doing just peachy and would probably get married this summer.
