Veronika Rajek joins Olivia Dunne and Paige Spiranac in conversation against harassment and body shaming on the internet
Veronika Rajek is a quite successful model in her own regard and has a considerable amount of fan following online. She came into relevance after being spotted in Tom Brady’s Buccaneers jersey recently.
The model joined in the same conversation as Olivia Dunne and Paige Spiranac on body shaming and harassment online. As reported by Marca, she says, “People are pretending to be open-minded but they are not. They are talking about body positivity but they are not body positive. I am a young woman, I have my style, a lot of people say to me ‘you are not classy’, but what is not classy about me? I love my style, I love my fashion. My body is young, I take care of my body, I work out, I eat healthy, I want to show it. It’s my personality. I’m not sorry because this is who I am.”
Speaking about her freedom of choice to wear any clothes that she desires, Rajek clarifies her clothing choices further. Adding on, she says, “I am not wearing turtlenecks in my 20s – I will wear them when I am a mom of three and I’m 45. I love my body and this is body positivity. If you love something, show it, prove it. Everybody says you need to do this and behave like this but just be yourself. I am living with myself and I love what I’m doing. The first thing in my life is I need to be happy in my head and my body because if you’re not then you’re looking for mistakes in other lives. I’m not a person who is going through other profiles and writing bad things.”
Recent incidents of both Olivia Dunne and Paige Spiranac also speak magnitudes about such incidents. On Livvy’s end, she had to face constant bouts of hooliganism in her match venues from fans who would bully and disrespect the opponent players. Spiranac, on the other hand, has to face harassment and bullying from several people online for being a woman semi-pro in golf. This harassment would even extend to US political commentators who would pass misogynistic comments against her.
