“Our culture’s obsession with female thinness is sick.”

I get to spend my days writing all about the pop culture stories that your group chats are talking about.

For context on the six kids, Georgina is the biological mother of only the three youngest children, but has helped raise them all and considers them all her own. She gave birth to 8-year-old Alana in 2017, and their youngest daughter, 4-year-old Bella, also had a twin brother named Ángel; however, he tragically died at birth. As for the older kids, Cristiano Jr.’s mom's identity is unknown, and 9-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo were born via surrogate. 

"You don’t live by your image. You live by what you are. A perfect woman. Beautiful, with a body, mother, good person, successful and living life with love. What the hell else do you want? It's normal for them to envy you," she recalled him telling her. 

Georgina concluded by saying that her definition of "success" is "living in peace" and "surrounding myself with the people I love. Enjoying my family and friends. Taking care of my health. Laughing. Learning. Living."

"Women truly cannot win," added another user. "We are always too big, too thin, too anything. There is always a relentless line of folks ready to criticize, no matter what. How depressing she even had to address these photos."

Echoing what Georgina wrote in her caption, someone said, "All this tells me is that no woman is free from public scrutiny. If she isn't 'playing the game' right, is anyone?"

"The point isn't that whether she's hot or not, it's the fact people that people are critiquing women's bodies unprompted," echoed someone else. "When we're inadvertently justifying that it's OK to talk about her body when it's not... What would happen if she didn't look conventionally attractive? Would it then be OK? The argument should never be 'you're wrong, she's actually hot,' it should be 'don't criticize women's bodies, ever, no matter what she looks like.'"
