Being bold. Plus-size Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Robyn Lawley shared a topless photo on Thursday, Oct. 22, in which she defended her stretch marks.

“Almost a year ago, an interview from a very honest — maybe too honest — conversation with a friend was manipulated and taken apart so heartlessly by a UK publication gossip page that at 7-months pregnant right after losing one of my closest relatives, read ‘Robyn considers abortion to avoid stretch marks,’” the Australian swimsuit model, 26, captioned the pic she shared on Facebook and Instagram. “I was shocked not only because that is not what I said, but… I earned my stretch marks. They are some badass #tigerstripes. F–k them, who cares, be you, be loud, be proud. And to anyone who feels bad about your body especially after a baby, you are a warrior, you created a little life inside of you, that’s no easy feat.”

Lawley, who has walked in New York Fashion Week and appeared in Vogue Italia, became the first plus-size model to appear in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue back in February, posing for it during her first trimester of pregnancy.
