I’m plus-size – people always give backwards compliments about my body confidence but I won’t stop showing my stomach | The Sun
12/15/2022A PLUS-SIZE model shared a comment that she often hears that bothers her.
Julie, who goes by the TikTok handle @777jujuu, said that she gets backhanded compliments about her curvy body shape and style.
In one TikTok video, Julie wore a graphic T-shirt that she had tucked underneath her larger chest.
She also wore sweatpants, which left most of her stomach and back exposed.
She grabbed at her larger stomach and squeezed it before turning to the side to show off her profile.
Julie flipped her middle finger to the camera, annoyed, before switching her mood to be carefree and started twerking.
Text on the screen read a comment that she's been told by many people, which read: “I love your confidence, I could never.”
She responded to this, writing: “That’s not a compliment to plus-size people.”
Julie was insinuating that just because she is plus-size, it doesn’t mean that she can’t be comfortable in her body, or unapologetically dress how she wants to.
“No [for real],” she added in the caption.

Many people agreed that it was a backwards compliment, with one writing: “It feels like an insult lmfao.”
“People fail to realize it’s literally like saying: ‘I’m shocked you have so much confidence for being a big girl,’” someone else commented.
When one person couldn’t understand how it wasn't a compliment, another explained: “They say ‘confidence’ bcuz we have the audacity to feel good about ourselves when they think we have no reason to bcuz of our size.”
In a follow-up video, Julie wore another revealing outfit, a bralette with a plunging neckline and sweatpants.
With her stomach exposed again, she wrote: “[I don’t care] what people say, I am so beautiful with my stomach and I’ll never stop showing it off.”
“All bodies are beautiful,” she wrote in the caption.
People again praised Julie for her commitment to being true to herself, despite outside opinions.
“Damn right,” someone wrote, and another added: “Love this.”
“This gave me so much confidence too,” another person said, as someone complimented Julie’s appearance, saying: “You are what I envision goddesses looking like.”
