She told the outlet, “I see people online, looking like I’ve never looked. I know the ins and outs of this industry, what people actually use in images, and I truly know what seems authentic might be false, yet I still see it and go, “Oh God.” That makes me feel really horrible.
She continued, “And I mean, I’m very happy with my life and I’m very confident in who I am. I’m obviously not happy with my body, but who is?”
