Cheryl Fernandez-Versini slams troll who calls her 'a bag of bones'
She's clearly hurt by the comments.
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has hit back at an Instagram user who called her “a bag of bones” on the image-sharing site.
The X Factor judge posted a series of photos on Instagram of her birthday trip to Italy with husband Jean-Barnard when a body shamer made comments about her size.
The user wrote: “Bag of bones @cherylofficial. u looked so much healthier in the early girls aloud days with ur lovely curves.”
Clearly hurt by the comment, Cheryl hit back at the troll pointing out that she “would never dream of calling somebody too fat” and asked them to “have some respect.”
Her impassioned response reads: “I am so sick and tired of it being ok to call somebody too thin or a ‘bag of bones’.
“I would never dream of calling somebody too fat and that they should maybe cut down on their food intake? What is the difference?
“You have no idea what I have been through. Just losing my father in law v recently and everything that comes with that.
“Not that I am or should justify myself to anyone.”
“I’m so f sick of people thinking it’s ok to be mean or body shame anyone. And it’s woman on woman. Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.”
In another comment, she added: “I am just tired of the ignorance...At some point it’s just enough. Some people are naturally thin. My mother is all of 4’11 and six stone something. And is incredibly healthy and happy.”
Filming for The X Factor begins this coming Monday where Cheryl will appear alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw.
