Bekah Martinez's Bold Stand: Seven Years Without Shaving
Bekah Martinez Claps Back at Troll's Hairy Leg Comments - And We're Hooked!
The Bachelor alum Bekah Martinez, 30, is serving up some serious sass and a whole lot of body positivity in her latest clapback at a troll who dared to comment on her hairy legs and armpits. The reality star, who boasts an impressive 1M social media followers, is not here for the negativity and has taken to Instagram to set the record straight.
The Shade Is Real!
When a nasty troll claimed that Bekah's fiancé of three years, Grayston Leonard, "must be grossed out" by her hairy legs and armpits, Martinez was quick to respond. "I stopped shaving seven years ago, and I still get messages like this all the time," she wrote on Tuesday, accompanied by a sassy selfie showcasing her unapologetically natural beauty.
The Real Story Behind Bekah's Decision
But here's the thing - Bekah didn't just stop shaving because of some fleeting notion. Oh no, she made the conscious decision to go au naturel while pregnant with her first child in 2018. And it wasn't just about setting a good example for her little ones. "I wanted my daughter (and my future sons) to see that hair on a woman's body is normal. Not shameful. Not gross," she explained.
A Message of Empowerment
Bekah wants her kids - and let's be real, the world at large - to understand that her body hair is not something to be ashamed of. "I wanted to demonstrate that body hair is not 'masculine,' because I am a woman. And so, my body hair is feminine," she said with conviction.
The Truth About Bekah and Grayston's Relationship
So, what does Bekah's fiancé think about all this? Well, it turns out that Grayston has seen her in all her hairy glory - and he's totally cool with it. "Gray went to a liberal arts college in Oregon, so he's had his fair share of gross razor-less women," Bekah quipped.
The Bottom Line
In the end, Bekah's message is one of empowerment and acceptance. She's not apologizing for her body hair, and she's encouraging everyone else to do the same. "I still don't love my body hair," she confessed. "But the feeling has so much less power over me than it used to. And when [my daughter] Ruth points and says, 'Mom, my legs look like yours' without any ounce of shame, it is all worth it."
The Martinez-Leonard Family: A Love Story
Bekah and Grayston are the epitome of a love story - one that's been going strong for three years now. The couple shares three adorable kiddos together - Ruth, 6; Franklin, 5; and Ernest, 21 months - and they're not afraid to show off their family fun on social media.
The Other Side of Bekah: A Businesswoman
When she's not busy being a mom or clapping back at trolls, Bekah is killing the influencer game. She's partnered with brands like Araza Beauty, Brook Linen, Club Med Cancun, Osea Malibu, My Favorite Genes, and Natural Cycles - and her followers are eating it up.
Bekah's Bachelor Past
Before she became a reality TV star and social media sensation, Bekah made history as the first pixie-haired woman to compete on The Bachelor. And although she was eliminated by Arie Luyendyk Jr. in season 22, she's clearly won at life.
The Bachelor Franchise: A Track Record of Failure
Speaking of The Bachelor, it's no secret that the franchise has a bit of a track record when it comes to lasting marriages. Only three couples have remained together after 29 seasons - and we're not holding our breath for Bekah and Grayston to be the exception.
The Bottom Line
In the end, Bekah Martinez is all about spreading love and positivity - whether it's through her body positivity movement or her family fun. And if you ask us, she's totally winning at life.
