Former Miss South Africa on body shaming from Twitter fans

june 2020 an article from City Press with headline “Is she or not?” was published and claimed a photo published on Instagram showing Sasha Lee at a bar in a yellow Mustud dress had everyone speculating if she is pregnant or not.

Sasha-Lee responded to the article in an Instagram Live broadcast on Sunday night, dismissing the rumours “fake news”

“I know I’m not pregnant. I know who I am. I am comfortable in my skin.”

She said she was not speaking up for herself, but for all women she represented.

“It’s not even about weight. It’s about every girl that hasn’t felt comfortable or like she does not fit in. You don’t have to fit in. Just be yourself. That’s all and that’s enough”.

“I’m so disappointed in the fact that we’re supposed to be building each other up but we choose to break each other down. I hope this is a teachable moment for every single one of you. You have a responsibility to use your platform to build and lift each other up. Let’s focus on what’s important.” she said

Even after dismissing the rumours Twitter fans are still surprised on her weight gain. They are still asking if she is pregnant or not.
