A plus-size content creator is being mercilessly bullied for confidently posing in a green strappy sundress.
Jaelynn Chaney, who touts over 200,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, promoted a summertime frock from Alpine Butterfly, a swimwear company, in a sponsored post this week.
Oozing confidence and joy, the influencer boasted about the size inclusive brand while flaunting the collection’s “sultry dress” that “turns heads at every twist and turn.”
In a video posted to TikTok, she twirls in the frilly mini dress while grinning at the camera.
“They’ve got it all: stunning swimsuits, trendy dresses, and a whole lot of body positivity!” she wrote on Instagram. “They carry sizes XS-6X and I’ve been obsessed with them for years! You’ve got to check them out if you haven’t before.”
Despite feeling “like a queen,” Chaney was bombarded by internet trolls who jeered at her weight, save for a few kind fans who showered her with compliments, calling her “beautiful.”
“Why are these people on here telling her she looks beautiful. Stop it. Be honest with her,” one critic jabbed.
“That style is not appropriate for ur body type sis. have self respect,” someone else chided.
“This is just awful,” another wrote.
“I can’t imagine the stress on her organs & ankles.. this isn’t healthy,” one viewer added.
The Post has reached out to Chaney for comment.
In April, the social media sensation penned a petition to the Federal Aviation Administration demanding the agency better accommodate plus-sized flyers.
The Change.org appeal followed a 2-hour trip from Washington state to Colorado, in which she claims she was subjected to discrimination due to her weight.
On other flights, she said, her seat featured immovable arm rests, causing pain and discomfort.
Instead of paying for an extra seat to ensure comfort, Chaney argued that the FAA should be requiring airlines cover the price of an additional seat due to passengers’ size, according to the petition.
