Everyone’s a critic these days and one meteorologist in St.Louis, MO is not having it.
Tracy Hinson of KSDK News in St. Louis recently responded to a harsh critic who attempted to fat-shame her on her Twitter feed.
Turns out the viewer was apparently unhappy with the meteorologist’s “stomach bulge” being visible while she was reporting the weather.
Hinson shared a screenshot of the nasty message she received earlier n the month. It said, “Do you ever watch yourself giving the weather report? Seems that you need a girdle for the stomach overhang which shortens the front of your dresses! Today was not the first time I have noticed this. Maybe you should wear a top that covers the bulge in your stomach.”
Hinson publicly responded to the viewer, referring to her as Mary.
The meteorologist tweeted, “Dear Mary, Yes I do watch my air-checks. NO I will not be strapping myself into a girdle because you don’t like my belly. I like pasta, bread and cheese too much to obsess over my weight. I like my body and that’s all that really matters. #NoMoreFatshaming.”
