A curvy model has hit out for being 'body-shamed' during a trip to Disneyland.
Gracie Bon, from Panama, was visiting the theme park for a day out with her young siblings. However, the 27-year-old said their 'day was ruined' as people wouldn't stop staring at her curvy figure and taking pictures of her.
The brunette beauty said she had to put up with people laughing at her as she made her way around the park despite her 'just existing'. She encouraged people to respect others and to not make people feel uncomfortable like she did.
Gracie shared her message in a video on her Instagram page, which she shared with her 6.4million followers. The clip showed her walking around the park and going on some of the rides as other visitors could be seen staring, laughing and taking pictures of her in the background.

I was at Disneyland today, I wanted to have fun with my siblings, but our day was ruined by all the people that were making fun of the size of my body.

"The worst part is that they teach their kids to do the same. They kept taking photos of me, they gave me bad looks all the time of just kept laughing at me.
"I know you may think that I am exaggerating and that it's my fault for being a big girl, but this is literally what God gave me and I have to embrace every single part of me. Even if you have a condition, you look different, you shouldn't be bullied for the way you look."
Gracie added: "I would never talk negatively about someone else's appearance. Respect is key. This should be a safe space where everyone feels comfortable and I wasn't doing anything, just existing.
"At the end of the day, I just wanted to have fun like everyone else. If you don't like something, stop hating and keep it to yourself."
Many fans were quick to support her over the situation, as the post racked up more than 75,000 likes.
One told her: "Don't worry at all. You are beautiful just the way God made you! People are just jealous that you are so beautiful!" While another added: "I’m sorry people can be so cruel and judge so harshly when they have no room to judge. You are beautiful."
A third chimed in: "Please stay strong and straighten then crown." While a fourth told her: "Don't mind them, keep it up."

Gracie spoke about surgery back in January this year, when she told fans she's never had facial surgery. She wrote in a post at the time: "How life changes when you start loving yourself. Happy to have you who have seen all my evolution and also those who criticise and wish to be me. And no, I have never had face surgery."
However, the model has never revealed if she's gone under the knife to achieve her eye-popping curves.

She's faced allegations of undergoing various cosmetic procedures in the past, including butt lifts, breast implants, lip injections, fillers, and Botox, to enhance her appearance.
The BBL rumours in particular surfaced after Gracie moaned her curvy rear wouldn't fit in airplane seats. She call on travel companies to make the seats bigger as it 'wasn't her fault her curvy bum won't fit in them'.
