Ester Expósito and Lola Índigo, two of the most beloved figures of the national press, have exploded on those who insist on commenting on their physical appearance. Both regularly face the pressure of beauty standards, a situation that they say is pushing them to the limit.
The 'Elite' actress recently took a break from her successful career to respond to criticism about her physical appearance. During the 'Bazaar Women of the Year' event, where she received an award as a reference for the new generation, Ester took the opportunity to speak out against online harassment: «The other day I was reflecting on all the different forms of violence that we receive. women… a person hides behind a screen to criticize a woman's body,” said the actress, launching a message with which she claims to speak for everyone.
However, comments about her appearance have not stopped after her recent statements on television, where some fans suggested that she had undergone cosmetic surgeries. “They have accused me of having had about fifty operations, and the truth is that I have gained weight, like anyone else,” Expósito pointed out. To this message he added a call for empathy, remembering that behind every public figure there is a person with feelings and complexities. Her words resonated strongly with the public and on the networks, where her followers enthusiastically supported her.
For her part, Lola Índigo, with a personality known for breaking molds and challenging stereotypes, did not remain silent. During a concert in San Jordi, Lola responded directly to those who criticized her for wearing a daring bodysuit on stage: “When I turn around and you see that I have a normal body, remember the stew I ate,” making it clear that has no intention of adapting to other people's standards. “I'm here to be happy, not to meet anyone's shitty stereotypes,” he added.
Other famous
Other public figures have raised their voices on various occasions. Berta Vázquez, for example, was subjected to an avalanche of criticism when she appeared on the red carpet with a curvier figure. Faced with hundreds of messages on social networks commenting on her weight or suggesting that she had “stopped taking care of herself,” Berta responded with elegance. Quoting Eleanor Roosevelt, she recalled that “no one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” showing that, although her image has changed, her confidence and self-assurance are unwavering. Her response inspired other women, especially her followers, who see in her an example of authenticity and courage.
Laura Escanes, one of the most followed and loved influencers in Spain, has also shared how comments about her physical appearance impacted her personal life. The young mother, who has decided to show herself without filters, related how this postpartum weight gain made her feel happier and at peace with herself, although not everyone understood it. Instead of receiving support, Laura was judged, with comments that even questioned her health. In her own words, “it is exhausting that everyone gives their opinion about women's bodies, especially at a time as beautiful and delicate as motherhood.”
Bad Gyal (27 years old), famous for her rebellious style and her confidence on stage, has not escaped criticism. The artist has admitted on several occasions that, despite her image as a strong and uninhibited woman, she also has complexes. However, this has not stopped Bad Gyal from asking for respect and defending his right to be who he really wants to be.
Another figure who has experienced constant judgment firsthand is Anabel Pantoja. Isabel Pantoja's niece has faced relentless media pressure and criticism for her physical appearance for years. But she, through her networks, has proudly shown her image changes and her fight to accept herself as she is, without filters and without masks. In an interview, Anabel confessed that she had very deep insecurities because of the criticism, but over time she has learned to love herself and accept her body with its transformations.
