Lindsey Vonn/Instagram Vonn shared some of the hurtful comments she received for wearing a bathing suit. Vonn said on Instagram Friday that posting all of the swimsuit photos were “scarier than it seems” and put her in a vulnerable position. “Even as an athlete there are ruthless comments and media stories that tear apart my body and I admit it sometimes hurts me,” she said, alongside four photos of herself in various bikinis and poses. “I’m a normal person and sometimes I slouch, my stomach folds over, my cellulite shows on my butt, or I don’t fill out my swimsuit top just right.” Despite what people may say, Vonn says she tries to remember all of the incredible things her body can do and remains proud of how strong she is. Instagram “One thing I can promise all of you is that I never Photoshop my photos and am proud to officially never had any plastic surgery of any kind,” the world champion skier declared. “No Botox, no fillers, no mini surgeries. Literally nothing. I am 100% natural and 100% Lindsey.” She ended with an empowering shoutout to her followers, writing, “To anyone who is feeling self conscious or down about their appearance; stay strong, stay healthy and love yourself no matter what the haters say.” View this post on Instagram I’ve posted quite a few swimsuit pics lately, which is scarier than it seems.
