However, I do not remember having said one day that I was a model. I am a singer“.Recently, she again evoked her relationship to her body, with Marie Claire. “Motherhood allowed me to love my body, much more than I loved it before. To be less hard on myself, and even to find myself very strong. Because there is still a human being who came out of my body! Childbirth is such a special moment in life.“, confided the mother of Esme.

They always find an angle to attack“, confided for her part Agathe Auproux, when Kelly Vedovelli, she also received a moment of derogatory comments on her physique.
Men have also been victims of grossophobia
