Sports Illustrated Swimsuit body‑shaming backlash

Overview

In late July 2026, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Camille Kostek used TikTok to confront body‑shamers who criticized her appearance, urging trolls to “go outside and get some sun.” Fans rallied in her defense, praising her confidence.

A week later, former "Vanderpump Rules" star Stassi Schroeder, who had returned to the Swimsuit runway, described similar online harassment, noting that trolls called her figure “rectangular” and likened her to SpongeBob. She said she now accepts both praise and criticism, emphasizing the supportive, "girl‑power" atmosphere of the show. Together, the statements illustrate an ongoing pattern of body‑shaming directed at SI Swimsuit participants and the models’ public responses to it.
