Barbie Ferreira’s comments on ‘body positivity’

The actor has previously spoken about the pressures associated with being labelled a body-positivity figure. She criticised the alleged “backhanded compliments” she received with being called a “body positivity queen.”In an interview with Vogue, Ferreira opened up about how modeling helped her learn to accept her body. She said, “When I started modelling, I was faced with the reality that I can’t hide anymore. It put me in a position where I was forced to love myself. Being in front of a camera has taught me more about myself than I could ever teach myself. I always felt so small… Well, emotionally small, and physically big. I felt like nothing special. But having a community of people online who were supportive has opened my eyes in many ways.”
