Being a celebrity definitely comes with many, many perks. The perks look all shiny and glittery to us non-celebrities, but let's remember that it's not all glitter, glam, and privilege. Celebrities have to contend with the ugly side of being in the public eye constantly. For example, think about how female celebrities, in particular, are constantly judged on their appearance. Not only are they judged on their physical appearance, but they are also body-shamed publicly by anyone with access to the internet. It's absurd because as the saying goes: "Opinions are like armpits. Everybody has them and most of them stink." Yes, we cleaned up the saying a little bit by replacing a much more vulgar word that starts with an "a" and ends with an "s" with armpits, but you get the gist.
More from MamásLatinas: Celebrities who have opened up about being body-shamed
One of the latest victims of body-shaming is the wonderful Aislinn Derbez of the Netflix show House of Flowers–FYI, we love that show, you should totally watch it if you haven't already. Anyway, back to what happened to Aislinn–aka Eugenio Derbez's daughter–she posted a very cute picture of herself wearing a very cute leopard print bikini. We actually loved the pic and even included it in a roundup of celebrities showing off their curves in bathing suits because C-U-T-E. But apparently, not everyone thought that Aislinn looked cute and, of course, they let her know because they seem to think they are insulting someone who isn't human and has no feelings.
It's awful the comments that people left on Aislinn's post. Aislinn somehow managed to post an incredibly thoughtful response because she's classy like that and knows how to take the higher road. But she shouldn't have to deal with that kind of nonsense. And she is by no means the only celebrity who has had to endure being shamed for her body. Nope, she's in good company with the likes of Shakira, Eva Longoria, Chiquis Rivera, and so many more. It's not right and we all need to be better. Yup, present company included because none of us are perfect.
