Ella Cruz took to Twitter to lash out at netizens who body-shamed her after she posted a dance video on social media.
The actress posted a video of herself on Instagram doing a dance cover of song ‘Psycho’ of K-Pop group Red Velvet.
The cover video showed her dancing prowess but some netizens highlighted that she gained weight.
Other netizens in the comments section even speculated that she was pregnant.
Pagka-artista bawal ba tumaba? Kailangan lagi namin ginugutom sarili namin para ma-maintain yung gusto nyo? Katatapos lang ng pasko at bagong taon, hindi ba pwedeng bakasyon din ang pagdiet? ?

Cruz confessed through the blue bird app that she was hurt by the comments she has received.
“Pagka-artista bawal ba tumaba? Kailangan lagi namin ginugutom sarili namin para ma-maintain yung gusto nyo? Katatapos lang ng pasko at bagong taon, hindi ba pwedeng bakasyon din ang pagdiet,”she said in her tweet.
i feel confident with my body that’s why I posted the video but people body shaming me saying “tumaba ka.” “Buntis ka ba?” Makes me feel bad about myself. STOP BODY SHAMING! Or more like STOP SAYING NEGATIVE THINGS TO OTHERS.

Cruz added that she posted the video because she feels confident with her body.
She also urged others to stop body shaming or to stop saying negative things to others.
It is depressing! Everyone’s trying their best tapos all these people do is look for the negative side! Why not help them boost their confidence? Spread positive vibes. Masarap mabuhay ng ganun. ❤️ all love. No hates.
