In the emotional clip, which was posted to TikTok in September 2023, Bader acknowledged how she’s received a “ridiculous amount” of body-shaming about “how much bigger I got and how much weight I gained and how unhealthy I look and whatever it is.” While Bader initially believed it was “helpful” for her to share details about her diet and exercise routines for people “going through similar struggles,” the TikTok star changed her mind following the recent body-shaming.
