Suni Lee Shuts Down Trolls: Standing Tall After Victoria's Secret Debut
Suni Lee Slams Trolls for Bullying Her Over Height After Sizzling Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Debut!
In a scathing clapback, Olympic gymnastics sensation Suni Lee has addressed the cruel trolls who mocked her height after she strutted down the catwalk at the highly anticipated Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn on Thursday. The 22-year-old sensation, who stood tall (or rather, not-so-tall) at just 5ft, was brutally trolled by a minority for being one of the shortest models at the event.
But instead of letting the haters get to her, Lee decided to take matters into her own hands and respond with sass on TikTok. In a sizzling video posted on Saturday, the two-time Olympic gold medalist lip-synced to Ariana Grande's 'Successful' while writing "Can u guys stop bullying me?" as the caption.
The comments section was flooded with love and support from fans and fellow athletes alike, with one user praising Lee for being a role model: "You were on the runway and they were mad and at HOME. Girl, you slayed!"
Lee's response? A simple yet empowering "Like, literally." The Olympian also showed her appreciation for her loyal fan base by writing "I love yall crying emojis my girls" in the comments section.
This isn't the first time Lee has faced online criticism, but she's certainly not letting it get to her. In fact, she's been crushing it in the fashion world with high-profile partnerships with brands like Lululemon and HOKA. And let's be real – who wouldn't want to rock a Victoria's Secret catwalk debut?
Lee's journey to becoming a Victoria's Secret model is truly inspiring. Growing up, she didn't see many girls who looked like her in spaces like this, but now she's not only breaking barriers as an athlete, but also owning her femininity and showing young girls everywhere that they don't have to fit into just one box.
When asked about the experience in an interview with Marie Claire, Lee described it as "a dream outside my comfort zone." She continued, "Growing up, I didn’t see many girls who looked like me in spaces like this. To now be here as an athlete, as someone who’s worked so hard to achieve her dreams, it feels powerful."
And we couldn't agree more, Suni! You're a true inspiration to us all, and your message of empowerment and self-love is one that resonates deeply with TheScholarlyNote.com readers.
So to all the trolls out there, take note: Suni Lee may be small in stature, but she's got a giant personality and an even bigger heart. And as for Lee? She's just getting started – watch this space!
