Jenni “JWoww” Farley clapped back at body shamers after she posted her first swimsuit pic in five years.
“Of course I open my emails and I get a Google alert that says, ‘JWoww: Deathly sick,’ or something like that because I lose weight,” she said via an Instagram video on Tuesday, June 9, while giggling. “I don’t even know what to say.”
“A girl can never win,” she continued. “You gain weight? You’re a fat piece of s***. You lose weight? You must, I don’t know, be dying of some sort of horrendous disease.”
The Jersey Shore star added that she’s been “working out” and went from 150 pounds to 135. Other than stepping up her time in the gym, JWoww shared that she was indeed sick after a recent trip to Miami in May.
“I lost weight. I’m a female. I’m 41. I really don’t know what else to say,” she continued. “I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s not gonna last because it never does, especially when you’re a woman in your 40s. I probably will gain 10 pounds by the end of the summer and then I’ll get a new article that says, ‘You fat b****,’ or something of that extent, or ‘My God, she gained weight,’ or ‘Is she pregnant?’ I hope I’m not dying, damn.”
JWoww went on to say that she didn’t “purposefully lose weight.”
“I’m sorry you guys haven’t seen me in shorts and a bathing suit in five years. I haven’t worn one publicly because you guys criticize,” she said. “This is just a small dose of what it’s like being a female in this day and age.”
The MTV star suggested that people “change the narrative,” but knew that women would still be “pitted against each other.”
“PSA because I am sick and dying 😭,” JWoww captioned the post. Her friends supported her in the comments.
“Keep shining 💕,” Sammi Sweetheart Giancola wrote, while JWoww’s fiancé, Zack Clayton, playfully commented, “Donuts and tacos tonight for dinner.”
JWoww’s comments come after she posted a sizzling hot swimsuit pic earlier this week. In the photo, she lay on her side on a daybed while rocking a sexy one-piece featuring high-cut legs, a cheeky back and a plunging neckline. She completed her look with a black baseball cap.
