Lindsey Pelas Instagram: Model Opens Up On Being 'Slut-Shamed' For Her Racy PHOTOS [VIDEO]
Instagram's bustiest girl opened up on how she- as well as plenty of other women- have received criticism for embracing their bodies.
On Thursday, Cosmopolitan posted details from Lindsey Pelas who's known for letting her cleavage show in a good haul on her social media images. She mentioned that people have posted mean comments on her page for her racy images, but she refuses to let that get to her.
"I've been called a ho, whore, slut and b-tch," Pelas said. "I used to feel really upset when I read nasty comments. But now I feel it's just a display of ignorance. I'm not mad at you if you want to call me a ho- I'm mad at your mom and dad, I'm mad at your educators, I'm mad at your society that you think that's okay."
The model also opened up on how there can be a double standard for men and woman when it comes to posting sexy photos on the Internet.
"A ton of social media guys are super sexy- the beautiful faces, the chiseled abs," Pelas noted. "They're always posting shirtless pics. I've seen their butts online. And it's nothing but love from women. It's, 'I want to marry you, I adore you.' When a woman posts a sexy photo, there's flattery too, but a lot of it is negativity, anger, jealousy- anything but admiration. I've never seen someone leave a 'ho' comment on a guy's picture."
Pelas gave advice to women out there who've been insulted over the way they choose to show themselves off online.
"My advice for young women who feel slut-shamed on the Internet is to keep doing whatever it is that you want to do," she said. "You have to go make yourself happy. We live in a world where, no matter what you're going to do, you're going to be criticized for it. The second you own who you are, people are going to feel that energy."
