This 19 Year Old Was Body Shamed At Church. Told, “Fat Girls Don’t Wear Shorts.”
Jenna a 19 year old woman had an older woman from her church follow her into the bathroom and tell her that she was too fat to be wearing shorts.
(LANGUAGE WARNING! DO NOT PLAY THIS VIDEO AROUND KIDS!)
My heart just breaks for this girl. You can hear the pain in her voice when she cries. You can hear how much this hurts.
I don’t know why people think what you wear is ANY OF ANYONE’S BUSINESS.
The shorts in question were these.
This girl is just trying not to be hot on a summer’s day and this woman has the AUDACITY to come out and say this. I just… I just can’t even deal with this.
Jenna went on to say some really powerful stuff.

The church responded with the following.
And Jenna, being the amazing person that she is, is ready to learn and grow from this.
And she resigned from any leadership role she had in the church herself. When things calm down my family and I want to have a calm conversation with her about everything and see where we can grow from here

Jenna. I salute you girl.
I am so sorry you had to go through this.
Let’s all do better. Let’s all be better.
Let’s all be a little more like Jenna. Both when she stood up for herself, AND when she forgave.
