“Dear sorry body-shamers, I looked HOT in that dress. And if you hate it, don’t buy it. But please get a hobby. XOXO Ariel #EmbraceYourBody,” Ariel wrote on Twitter after many of her followers thought it was okay to make her feel bad about her sexy graduation dress. The shaming came after she posted a stunning photo of herself at her graduation party on Monday, June 20. However, it was only the first in a series of messages from Ariel.

“Embrace all that you are. Don’t let those outside voices become your inner voice #mychoice #loveyourcurves,” Ariel captioned a photo of herself posing for a mirror selfie. In the photo, Ariel is wearing a white crop top and light blue skinny jeans to show off the same curves she’s defending. You tell ’em, girl!

Again, the response from Ariel still wasn’t over. Instead of fighting back in a negative way, she continued to encourage all of the young boys and girls who follow her to be confident in their own skin. “Know your value. Remember who you are. Love yourself. You’re perfect 😘💎 #stoptheshaming,” Ariel wrote in a tweet, her final message regarding the shaming she received.

It's not body shaming to point out that maybe you shouldn't show underboob at graduation.
