Maren Morris is not one to let a rude comment slide, especially when made on her personal social media accounts.
After posting a seemingly harmless photo of herself wearing jean shorts and a black body suit to her Instagram account, the country singer received a mass amount of hate from trolls commenting she ‘deserved creepy sexual advances from men for my clothing.‘
Not willing to take the hate lying down, Morris followed up with a fiery post to Instagram, asserting that she is proud of her body which she has worked so hard for and that she will continue to be a role model for young girls.
”Some turds on my last picture had the cowardly gall to suggest that I deserved creepy sexual advances from men for my clothing, so I ought to cover up, & I thought it was pretty horrifying. I realize I chose this career and I chose to put a picture on this platform, but choosing to illicit sex acts from wearing a bodysuit? No. That is what’s wrong with it all. I refuse to ever, EVER be ashamed of the body God gave me. I’m proud to be Irish, Native American, English… proud of my cellulite and proud of my strong back + arms. I worked my ass off on my body the last few months, and I’m proud to show that work. All day little girls + boys are measuring themselves against societal shame & fake photoshopped bodies on Instagram. So what I guess I’m saying is, I didn’t choose to be a role model for body-shaming, judgmental nobodies; I LOVE being a role model for kids and anyone who’s just trying to figure out how to love themselves every day. Screw the haters and eat your damn cheeseburger,” wrote Morris.
Fellow leading ladies of country music including Miranda Lambert and RaeLynn also chimed in at Morris’ defense, praising her for her bold post.
