Ali Oetjen hits back at online trolls

This bullying is NOT OK! - by Delicia Smith
  • 07 May 2019

Ex-Bachelorette Ali Oetjen has hit out at online trolls who criticised her 'fake breasts' by telling them to focus on inner beauty instead. 

WATCH: The Bachelorette's Ali Oetjen flaunts a new hairstyle. 

Ali, 32, who says she's fed up with being judged on her looks alone, has spoken out about her breast implants before, admitting she's unhappy with them.

In November last year, Ali told The Daily Telegraph that she regrets her boob job, which she says she had done to please an ex-boyfriend, and wants her implants removed.

REPEAT 5x #hiitworkout #exhausted #tarzanandjane #sweaty #healthylifestyle #alioetjenhealth

However, when the reality TV star was attacked by online haters for her 'fake' implants she didn't take the comments lying down.  

Ali had posted a posed shot of herself wearing gym gear, to which the troll wrote: "Yeah you're beautiful etc... but... those boobs Ali... Soooo you're not really natural are you?"

Ali, who has admitted to the pain caused by online bullies in the past, responded with: "In your eyes I'm not natural. In my eyes I'm a beautiful, kind, strong, nurturing soul who would take your hand if you ever needed it. I judge myself on that, not for a set of boobs i regret getting. #lessonslearnedinlife Judge a book not by its cover."

Fitness model Ali broke down in February after being attacked by online trolls, saying that she lots sleep over comments that were posted when she uploaded selfies to her Instagram account, that had been enhanced with photo editing. 

The teary Instagram post read: "I asked myself, why wasn't my original [unedited] photo good enough to share with the world?! At the time I thought, this photo of my face is not 'pretty enough' I have an image to uphold & must make it look flawless!"

I have these epiphanies or strong intuition feelings & have to share because I get so excited & get such clarity. Does anyone else experience these? By stopping our mental block & going with our energy flow, we believe whole heartedly, we feel openly, we say what we mean(without hurting) instead of what we "think" should be said! I do this all the time & catch myself out on it & I'm so much happier! 🥴 #selfcheck #selfawareness Go with YOUR FLOW not THE FLOW! #fromtheheart #selflove #inspired #inspiring #healthyliving .

"Crap! It made me feel sh*t!! I don't want to conform, I want to continue to inspire real women to love themselves for the bloody breathtaking beings that we are."

She went on to post a photograph of herself in tears. 

"This is me at this VERY moment, no make up, no filters or edits and I'm scared sh*tless to upload it, but want too so I prove my point that real is better, to share with you that I'm nowhere near perfect & that we all have similar feelings."

I started my workout at 5am this morning, earlier than usual because I couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep because online bullies comments hurt AND I disliked how so many comments on my recent post were right. I asked myself, why wasn't my original photo good enough to share with the world?! At the time I thought, this photo of my face is not "pretty enough" I have an image to uphold & must make it look flawless! Crap! It made me feel sh*t!! I don't want to conform, I want to continue to inspire real women to love themselves for the bloody breathtaking beings that we are. This is me at this VERY moment, no make up, no filters or edits and I'm scared sh*tless to upload it, but want too so I prove my point that real is better, to share with you that I'm nowhere near perfect & that we all have similar feelings. I'm scared because I think I'll let ppl down(don't know who they are btw!!), be judged, compared & ridiculed by the media. I have the same inhibitions/insecurities as every other woman out there. I believe we all have our good and bad days(hopefully mostly good) but on the bad days like TODAY I cry because I'm not confident 24/7, I'm vulnerable, fragile & sensitive. . To the bullies out there; I'm more engaged with my followers online than ever because of my business & so I read comments, react & reply. On my 'good days' my mindset stays strong that people's comments are only a reflection of themselves. But on my bad days they HURT. This isn't a post for anyone to feel sorry for me BUT it IS a post to inspire women to know that we're all good enough Just. The. Way. We. Are & we're all in it together!!!!! We all share the same feelings & energies surrounding body image, self image, self love and we all know it comes down to our inner light & inner beauty. I'm not flawless, I'm not perfect, I don't love myself everyday the way I should but I try & control my thoughts & resort back to knowing my worth. Comment with your favourite coloured heart below to share with YOURSELF. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 #selflove #real #unity
