Hilaria Baldwin just got the 5th son and, of course, it made headlines for more reasons
than one would typically like. Anyway, after becoming
a victim of several reactions and memes on the internet, she came out to defend
herself by hiding behind “body positivity”.
Basically, on Monday
night, the Hilaria posted a video to show to the world her not-so-good looking belly button ring. The video is taken seven weeks after the birth of the fifth son. In the video,
the fitness instructor can be seen making a joke about the “situation”.
She said that she
doesn’t care about what others think of her, because for her, the whole purpose
of this video is to tell her audience how exhausted she feels and that she has
no interest in putting on makeup. She doesn’t care about the underwear or her
skin because she’s overwhelmed with exhaustion.
“It’s
about the fact that I lay on my back while my friend shoved my belly piercing
back in while I clenched my teeth. So 90s? Yup … and I’m 36, 5 kids, and
still keeping it,” she continued followed by a bunch
of laughing emojis.
And this is when the
problem begins.
One of the users asked
Baldwin why she’s in her underwear if she doesn’t want to be in one right now.
To this, she responded by saying that she’s got a 7 week old and she’s too
tired to put on pants.
After this, a lot of
people accused her of not being empathetic towards women who don’t look like
her right after having a baby. Hence, comments like “I think you’re showing off
and it’s just not inclusive” started pouring in.
Hilaria defended
herself by saying that empathy doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be yourself. She
then claimed that she’s the biggest cheerleader for body positivity and love.
She then had a strong argument.
She said: “One thing you MUST know is that it
comes in ALL different shapes and sizes, MINE. I don’t judge anyone’s body.
Would you applaud me in this post if I looked different? Think on that. Should
I hide because of my body? I don’t do anything wrong to be ashamed of my
figure.”

She further said that
she never tried to shame or hurt other people. She even said that she doesn’t
think she’s better or worse than others. In addition, she never tries to tell
people to look differently. She then questioned that since she doesn’t do that
to others, why should she be made to feel bad?
Hilaria noted something
important: “That, for me, is not
inclusive. You are excluding me because you are projecting some society
invented, shallow idea of what is ‘beauty’ or ‘fit.’ I don’t buy into it …
and I can tell that you hate and resent it … so why bring it here? Why throw
it at me?”

This isn’t the first
time Hilaria has been a center of mockery on the internet. She has been facing
intense trolling and criticism on social media for her relationship with Alec’s
daughter, Ireland and for sharing her miscarriage stories. Despite it all, she’s
remained true to herself and continued telling stories about parenthood, body
positivity, and her ups and downs.
She recently shared
side-by-side pictures of herself right before giving birth and two days after
giving birth.
She also showed
gratitude towards her body for pulling off such miraculous actions. In her postpartum
post, she said that she’s thankful for all that her body is capable of and the
journey that she went through. She’s grateful that she was able to deliver her
baby safely and nurture the fetus while it was still inside.
Hilaria and Alec have
five children together.
We can understand why
the trolling happened because she does sound a bit tone deaf. But we can only
assume that the intentions were pure. But again, is the internet world
forgiving? We bet not!
