In a touching display of solidarity, Khloé Kardashian, renowned reality star and co-founder of Good American, recently came to the defense of Remi Bader, a prominent plus-size model and influencer who had bravely opened up about the relentless body-shaming she had been enduring on social media platforms.
This poignant moment unfolded after the curvaceous model broke down in an emotional video, earnestly pleading with her audience to stop commenting on her physical appearance.
Bader's meteoric rise to fame in the fashion world, despite beginning her TikTok journey only in March 2021, has been nothing short of remarkable. With an impressive following of 2.5 million on TikTok and Instagram combined, she is more than just a model; she is a fervent advocate for size inclusivity.
Bader uses her platform not only to showcase fashion looks and trends from renowned brands but also to thoughtfully critique the discrepancies in sizing between these brands. In a relatively short span of time as a content creator, Bader has successfully launched a collection in collaboration with Revolve and secured partnerships with major names like Victoria's Secret, Walmart, and L'Oreal.
Her commitment to breaking the mold earned her a spot on Forbes' prestigious Top Creators List in 2022.

The reason? An overwhelming influx of hurtful comments about her weight. Initially, she believed that openly sharing her fitness and dietary routines would be helpful for others facing similar struggles. However, the relentless body shaming had taken a toll on her mental health.
