Can you believe that some people have so little happening in their lives that they resort to passing judgment on someone else’s appearance and clothing choices? They actually take time out of their day…
Can you believe that some people have so little happening in their lives that they feel the need to comment on someone else’s body and fashion choices? They invest their precious time in deliberately hurting the feelings of others who have never harmed them personally. Unfortunately, individuals like this exist, and they often target teenagers like Madison Haulter.
Madison Haulter recently experienced online body-shaming from internet trolls. She looked stunning in a dazzling, form-fitting pink sequin gown, while her boyfriend, Tre Booker, sported a matching pink tie and boutonnière with his sharp black suit. Together, they were the epitome of a picture-perfect couple. Madison shared her prom photos on Twitter with the caption “Prom with the love of my life” (LOML, for those not familiar with the kids’ lingo these days). However, there were some individuals who decided to invest their time in tarnishing this happy moment.
One person made a hurtful comment about how Booker loves Madison despite her plus size, using “mbn” or “must be nice.” Jealousy, perhaps? Likely so. This unkind internet user commented, “Wow, he loves you even though you’re fat:( mbn.” But why wouldn’t Booker adore his girlfriend?
Madison looked like a movie star that day and possessed incredible beauty (probably on the inside too) even without the gown. It seems the commenter had their own struggles with self-love and body image that they chose to project onto Madison. At least they recognized the love between the couple. However, the internet was determined not to let the haters spoil the couple’s joy. The post went viral, flooded with kind and supportive comments.
People praised Madison for her stunning appearance and the undeniable charm of her and Booker as a couple. The flood of kindness and compliments far outweighed the negativity. “I firmly believe in not responding to hate with hate,” Madison told TODAY. “I didn’t respond rudely, and I even discouraged my friends from doing so.” Her motto: “Do all things with love.”
But it wasn’t just strangers who came to Madison’s defense. Booker didn’t waste time addressing or acknowledging the haters; he simply made sure Madison knew how much he adored her. He wrote, “You’re not fat, baby. God made you just for me. You’re perfect. I could gaze at you all day,” accompanied by a ring emoji. Many applauded him for standing up for his girlfriend, doing what any good boyfriend or friend should do. Some labeled him “soft” for openly expressing his affection for his girlfriend and sharing so much about her.
Imagine being so insecure that you can’t openly compliment the one you love? Regardless, Booker didn’t care. He wanted everyone to know how deeply he loved her. Their display of affection wasn’t just a social media façade. Booker and Madison are now married and plan to spend the rest of their lives together. Their relationship embodies some serious #relationshipgoals! Let this story serve as a reminder to always act with kindness and love.
