“There has been a conversation for a long time about whether fatphobia exists or not, whether it is something that we are digging into a lot or not. I think with This shows that fatphobia is something that exists and that in our country we do not have even the least bit of talk about it. […] There were a lot of people taking the time to have big discussions where they completely detract from the work of the entire team and talk about me with very ugly adjectives,” he began.

If you are concerned about my health, I would appreciate it if you would ask twice before making an aggressive comment because my mental health is also important.

If my health were still bad, being a sick woman, I am also worthy of being on the cover of a magazine, to be loved, to be desired, to be hired and to exist in this world.
