The Instagram video starts by displaying multiple mean comments from fans who criticized Sweeney’s body.

Not sure why she’s so popular.” Other derogatory remarks included, “Not at all her best look. She is better off leaving herself to people’s imaginations” and “She is painfully average looking.” These comments, which focused solely on Sweeney’s appearance, were cruel and unfounded, sparking a wave of negative feedback from body shamers on social media.
