Body shaming is the act of humiliating or criticizing an individual’s physical appearance.

Let’s get this clear it is never okay to criticize one’s body. It is not okay to humiliate or make fun of anyone for being built physically in a certain way that does not conform to society’s standards of beauty.

From Noni Gathoni to Neomi Ng’ang’a, Willis Raburu, Tanasha Donna, Avril to Stivo Simpleboy it is clear that no celebrity is safe from being trolled for owning their looks.

Body shaming keeps getting worse especially in an internet era where people get away with mean comments. For celebrities, it gets even worse as they are in the public eye.

In 2020 we list celebrities who have had it rough in the hands of critics for their physical appearance.

She said in a video which went viral for body-shaming heavily blessed women. The comment section was on fire as fans hopped on her for being too skinny.

Days later she went ahead to post her usual videos on her Instagram page and fans mocked her for not having boobs. Laughing at her while being sarcastic that her children will have to suffer by not being breastfed since she has a flat chest. Well, the war between Kalala and netizens keeps getting nastier every minute.

· Zari Hassan- You think you have seen it all until critics try to choke the South African Ugandan based entrepreneur for gaining weight.

Zari who has been trolled for gaining weight went ahead to face her critics by telling them to mind their business since if one gets skinny she is called out for contracting HIV/AIDS and being stressed out and if one adds weight he/she is termed as ugly and shapeless.
