A plus-size influencer has shared her belief that people ‘don’t recognise a natural body anymore’ due to weight loss jabs and plastic surgery.
And says that she’s regularly called “disgusting” for her figure.
Alex Aspasia is well-known for her body positive attitude, where she embraces her curves no matter what.

The 31-year-old previously revealed her “anti-Ozempic” glow up; going from 180lbs to 380lbs in a matter of a few years.
While she doesn’t judge those on “skinny jabs”, she does believe the world has “gone mad” for them – and going under the knife.
And, as a result, says that the plus-size community is facing an onslaught of “harsh” backlash, in a clip which has racked up 48,000 views.
“In a world full of Ozempic, AI and plastic surgery, I’ll gladly stay [fat] and natural,” the size 26 model told Need To Know.
“The divine feminine is art, not manufactured.
“I hate how harsh the world is to plus-size women when we uphold beauty standards that are rooted [in] very manufactured practices.
“I feel like we have fallen so far from what natural beauty is that when you see a natural woman’s body, people are sometimes almost disgusted by it.
“[Mostly] because they are so far removed from what natural is versus being manufactured beauty these days.
“The world has gone mad.”
Alex, who hails from Miami, US and stands at 6ft tall, doesn’t wish to “shade” anyone who takes Ozempic or has plastic surgery.
She said: “If someone chooses to take Ozempic, that’s completely their prerogative.
“What I do find interesting is how quickly so many people jumped on it the moment it became available.
“It says a lot about the pressure our society puts on people, especially women, to be thin at any cost.
While I respect individual choices, I also think it’s important to question why we feel such urgency to change our bodies.
“It teaches women that ‘natural’ isn’t enough and that beauty is always something you have to buy, inject or fix.
“I want to show what a natural woman’s body actually looks like.
“Beauty doesn’t have to be manufactured to be valid.”
The model previously revealed the reactions she received while travelling across Europe.
Alex added: “The beauty standard [there] is extremely thin.
“So I think when they see a tall, plus-size woman with confidence wearing whatever she wants, it’s very visually striking.
“I find that some people are interested and come up to me to take photos.
“While other people are secretly mocking me and pointing to their friends and laughing.
“It’s a mix of emotions and reactions.”
