Fashion Gone Rogue reports that after receiving backlash for being "too skinny," the Portuguese model posted another bikini photo via Instagram with a message saying that she is proud of her body and won't allow people to bully her anymore:

"I'm proud of my body and I'm not gonna let any of you bully me just because I'm skinny! Every body is different, and every metabolism is different! I eat a lot...I probably eat more burgers than you, I've always been skinnier, and probably will always be..." She continues, "The amount of hate I see thrown at me and to other model friends that I know are naturally skinny [is] ridiculous! U don't see us shaming [non-skinny] bodies so please don't come and shame ours!"
