Imagine trying to put something empowering into the world, and in return

Imagine trying to put something empowering into the world, and in return getting attacked by vicious social media commenters. That’s what’s been happening to YouTube fitness star Cassey Ho. Her YouTube channel, Blogilates, has over 2 million subscribers where she posts Pilates and bootcamp workout videos that receive hundreds of thousands of views. But along with those views come a slew of negative comments. Readers have criticized Ho’s own body, telling her to tone up, lose weight, and stop giving advice “when you’re so fat.” This week she decided to take a stand with a powerful new video that tackles online bullies, self-esteem, body image, and Photoshop all at once.

“It’s hard to be content with the shape of your body when people are constantly telling you how fat you are,” says Ho in a statement accompanying the video.

Ho then strips down!
