AceShowbiz - Jana Kramer isn't letting haters continue to body shame her on social media. On Saturday, December 8, the former star of "One Tree Hill" vented her frustrations at people who criticized her post-birth slim waist with a cropped photo of her lifting up her shirt to expose her stomach on Instagram.
"A few things because honestly I'm so frustrated and I need to vent this," the 35-year-old actress began her post. "I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy and my goodness I'm so glad I didn't which is why this photo is now cropped. It's amazing the comments and how rude some people can be from my last photo I took yesterday."
"A few things, no I didn't get a tummy tuck, no I don't have a personal chef, no I don't have fortunes so I didn't train every day. Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance," she continued. "In that photo I had on a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants and wow here I am defending myself. Why?!?"
Believing that she will be shamed if she showed her actual stomach, the wife of Mike Caussin then questioned, "Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame?" She added, "Our bodies are all beautiful and created differently, they heal different, they react different, they simply look different. Why do we need to shame someone for not looking a certain way? Or feel bad about ourselves for looking a certain way?"
At the end, the "Dancing with the Stars" alum encouraged women to support each other instead. "Can we be kinder to ourselves and know that every woman has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful? Can we lift someone up but not tear yourself down in the process with comparing? Let's give that a try," she urged.
One day prior, Jana posted a photo of herself side-hugging her husband while wearing a tight top, leggings and jeans jacket. The snap was quick to gain rude comments. One user who claimed she is a 50-year-old woman commented, "I'm just saying it's easier when you have money to spend to help yourself get back in shape, facts are facts, money buys everything." Another person wrote, "Just basically the only reason Jana lost her weight so fast was bc she has money and personal trainers. Just being a judgmental jerk."
