Angela Simmons sparked a heated discussion on social media after posting a photo of her natural body in a bathing suit unedited.
“Raw no edit . REAL bodies matter and thick thighs save lives lol,” Simmons wrote on Instagram when she posted her photos Sunday.
While some are praising the model for proudly showing off her natural body, others are taking issue with the pictures. A few people showed concern with the lighting of the photo, while others are shaming Simmons for flashing her thickness.
Looks good don’t see the big deal , this how real people look

I can't blame the people in the comments, most of the human race is so used to edited/photoshopped images that they now expect women/men to look "perfect", no age lines, pimples, dark spots, cellulites ect ect. filters have corrupted reality.

I’m not really understanding the hate. Posting a picture of oneself is inherently attention seeking no matter what but Angela is dead wring for doing it???????
