Paige Hyland denounces diabolical body‑shaming comments on Instagram post

Former ‘Dance Moms’ star Paige Hyland, 25, posted a bikini photo on Instagram that prompted a wave of hostile remarks accusing her of looking anorexic, promoting unhealthy eating habits and claiming she suffers from an eating disorder. In a TikTok video, Hyland called the remarks “diabolical” and argued that it is never acceptable to comment on anyone’s body. She emphasized that she has always been naturally thin, has never had an eating disorder, and feels a responsibility to defend people whose bodies look like hers.

Hyland warned that such public body‑shaming can harm other girls who see the comments, urging the body‑positivity movement to include all body types and encouraging people to focus on compliments rather than weight criticism.
