Barbara Palvin is fighting back against body shamers.
The 22-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit “rookie” recently took to Twitter to address the haters who called her “fat” in the photos from the glossy’s latest swim issue.

This isn’t the first time a model called out social media users for body shaming — back in September, model Gigi Hadid shut down the haters in a powerful Instagram post, writing “If you don’t like it, don’t follow me, don’t watch me, cause I’m not going anywhere.”
