In a world where body positivity is championed, it’s unfortunate that some tabloids still resort to cruel tactics. Recently, singer Lily Parker found herself the target of an unkind article in a gossip magazine that compared her post-pregnancy body to that of her childless fellow contestant from a popular talent show. The piece featured side-by-side images, making snide comments about Lily’s “mom body.”
Lily took to social media to reclaim her narrative, sharing the article and stating, “I LOVE MY BODY! My figure reflects my journey through pregnancy and breastfeeding, and I embrace it fully. I feel just as beautiful!” Yes, girl!
In an interview with TODAY Parents, Lily shared her mixed emotions about the article. “I found it funny and upsetting at the same time,” she explained. “While I’m proud of who I am and the work I put in to feel healthy and happy, it made me think of all the women and girls who might feel pressured to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty. That’s just absurd.”
Indeed, it is absurd, and her fans have rallied around her, providing unwavering support. It’s heartwarming to see a community of women lifting each other up rather than tearing one another down.
Lily looks incredible, and we’re totally adopting “saggy beauties” as our new favorite phrase!
