A model with a curvy 126cm bum says she constantly faces challenges because the world isn’t built for people with her body type.
From struggling to fit into airplane seats to finding clothes that accommodate her figure, she believes society is failing to be inclusive.
She also claims she is often subjected to “body shaming” just for existing in her natural form.
Kerolay Chaves, a Brazilian model and influencer, has spoken out before about the discrimination she faces due to her body shape.
Last year, she gained attention when she claimed she was kicked out of a supermarket simply for wearing a pair of shorts.
The incident left her feeling unfairly judged, and she has since become more vocal about body inclusivity.
“To me, one of the key issues is the lack of inclusivity in simple things – like the design of chairs and seats,” she told NeedToKnow, expressing her frustration.
Beyond the discomfort, Kerolay feels the way public spaces are structured contributes to a deeper issue—one where individuals who don’t fit a specific body standard are made to feel out of place.
“[Due to my job], a lot of people just see the glamour but having a butt this big brings many challenges that no one imagines.” she added, addressing the reality of having a figure that attracts both admiration and practical difficulties.
“It’s almost mission impossible to find pants.” she admitted, explaining how most brands fail to consider body shapes like hers.
“When you can’t find clothes that fit and feel uncomfortable in public spaces, it makes you question: is the problem me – or is it the way these spaces and products are designed?” she said.
“Brands don’t consider bodies with different measurements, which reflects a broader issue of diversity in fashion.”
She also noted that while she embraces her body, staying active requires extra effort.
Gym equipment and workout routines aren’t always suited for her figure, making fitness an ongoing challenge.
Despite everything, she remains confident in her looks and embraces her body fully. Kerolay “loves” her “factory-original” curves, standing by her choice to love her body exactly as it is. “I am confident and happy with my figure, and wouldn’t change a thing about myself.” she affirmed.
