A body positive influencer who doesn’t shave the hair on her stomach has hit back at her critics – and those who say they won’t date her because of it.
Angelica said she’d heard many comments from haters and trolls about her choices, but that she won’t let their opinion get in the way.
Not only has she had to deal with others telling her she should reach for a razor, but Angelica said her body hair has also affected her love life.
She revealed some people told her: “You should shave your stomach hair for summer.”
But hitting back, the body positive influencer replied: “Uh, no, I like it.”
While others have also said they’re not interested in her romantically because she refuses to conform to society’s norm.
Recalling other comments she’s heard about her body hair, Angelica said she regularly gets messages like: “I’d date you, only if you got rid of that stomach hair.”
But, once again, Angelica said she couldn’t care less about their opinion, as she said: “So what? I like it.”
She then added in her TikTok video posted to her platform @angelicabbeyx that despite the onslaught of negativity, she won’t be changing her mind any time soon.
In fact, she couldn’t be happier to be dubbed a “natural woman” after shaving once and instantly regretting it.
Angelica explained: “Only shaved my stomach last year, it was my first time. Never again, wouldn’t let anyone make me.”
She later added: “You don’t need to change yourself to fit someone else’s idea of beauty or attractiveness.
“Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your choices with your body hair, because you’re amazing just the way you are.”
She rounded off her post with a string of hashtags, including #happytrail, ‘bodyhairpositivity, #hairygirl and #bodyhairdontcare.
And it wasn’t long before the social media user’s followers took to the comment section to share their support.
One person said: “If they like you, they should just care about what makes you happy.”
A second TikToker was in full agreement, as they added: “I do it to make myself happy.”
While a third wrote: “I also have it baby girl and I love it.”
