Dear people all over the world: Same like having big-framed or chubby body types, do you think most skinny people prefers to be this skinny? If your answer is yes, then, read on because Gigi Hadid is about to school you with some truth.

The 22-year-old began by suggesting people who once called her too fat were now shaming her for losing weight.
“I will not further explain the way my body looks, just as anyone, with a body type that doesn’t suit ur ‘beauty’ expectation, shouldn’t have to. Not to judge others, but drugs are not my thing, stop putting me in that box just because u don’t understand the way my body has matured,” Gigi posted to her fans at the end of her explanation.

Gigi‘s friend Kendall Jenner also weighed in and posted, “preach,” on Twitter.
The supermodel has spoken about body shaming a number of times. In 2015, she famously put a long statement on Instagram in response to being trolled for the way she looked.
