Liukin has been trying to shut down shamers. In October 2020, one of the acclaimed gymnast's followers asked her how she feels about promoting "borderline anorexia bodies."

With a selfie in which she is wearing a skintight dress, Liukin, who celebrated her 31st birthday last year by putting donuts on a giant tray, said she had been triggered by the comment.

According to Liukin, if taking photos of her own body somehow equates to promoting anorexia, then the world has reached a point where just being oneself is an offense.
