Every celebrity has a different approach to handling the thousands of comments they receive on social media. While some choose to ignore any negativity, others respond when they feel it's necessary.
Emily Ratajkowski did the latter on Tuesday when she responded to people critiquing her friend's body in a photo that she shared of the two wearing swimsuits, saying that she loves her friend's body and is "proud" of her.
The model posted the picture of herself and a friend to Instagram on Monday. Both women are pictured lying on their stomachs at the beach while wearing pieces from Ratajkowski's swimwear line, Inamorata, while the photo is captioned: "Beach buns."
Some Instagram users left inappropriate remarks in the comments aimed at Ratajkowski's friend, and compared the two women's bodies.
"My dream body on the right, my real body on the left. Gotta appreciate both," one commenter wrote. "Obviously the right one looks hotter," another Instagram user wrote.
"Curves? Those are not curves. She is obese," one Instagram user wrote. "All body sizes are beautiful, but body fat isn't," another commenter wrote.
Others people felt that Ratajkowski should not have posted the image in the first place.
"Disappointed you would even post it knowing very well the type of comments that would arise," someone wrote in the comments. "Your friend doesn't deserve that and you should have been more thoughtful."
"Surely she would have known people would write these disgusting comments. Why would she subject her friend to this humiliation and online bullying by posting this?" another commenter wrote.
Addressing the comments on Tuesday, the model replied to one commenter to shut down the criticism.
"I love my friend's body and both her and I think she looks great here!" Ratajkowski wrote. "And I'm proud she's rocking my suits. All these haters are crazy. Just because you're used to seeing one body type on the internet doesn't mean that that's the only kind that should be considered 'beautiful.'"
According to Yahoo, Ratajkowski posted a similar statement on her Instagram story, calling her original photo "very cute" and saying that "different bodies are beautiful." The story is no longer visible on her page.
Representatives for Emily Ratajkowski and her friend did not immediately reply to INSIDER's requests for comment.
