The Brazilian plus-size influencer known as Sidney recorded an emotional video for his Instagram, reporting that he experienced fatphobia while boarding an airplane.
In the early hours of Tuesday (18), the Brazilian plus-size influencer Sidney recorded a tearful video for his social media, sharing that he experienced fatphobia inside the airplane.
According to the video, the influencer was traveling to Rio de Janeiro when he recounted having difficulty passing through the aircraft aisle and accidentally bumping into a woman.
“When I passed by her, and unintentionally, because of my size, my belly touched her, she looked at her arm, wiped it off, and gave me a disgusted look. I felt like the worst human being alive,” he detailed.
The plus-size influencer also shared that his anxiety was triggered during the incident.
“I had never gone through something like this, never in my life. I don’t give room for anyone to disrespect me, but this time it was completely different,” he vented.
Sidney concluded the series of stories by talking about self-acceptance and self-love.
“For those of you who weigh a little more, don’t mind other people’s opinions, […] you need to love yourself. So, when you love yourself, these things don’t affect you,” he advised.
