Iskra Lawrence certainly made a splash at Miami Swim Week. The plus size model looked absolutely beautiful when she modelled various swimwear and showcased her baby bump on the catwalk. One outfit consisted of an abstract-printed bikini and the other was a gorgeous floral swimsuit.
Iskra celebrated her body six months into pregnancy. She is expecting her second child with her partner Philip Payne, who is a former athlete turned songwriter. But the 33-year-old, from Wolverhampton, faced some disturbing comments after the show.
She was hounded by keyboard warriors who accused her for being a "bad role model" to other women. On Instagram, she wrote: "I’m still in disbelief that in 2024 (and with everything going on in the world) that fat shaming a pregnant woman seemed like the best use of your time?" influencer Iskra also included some of the negative words people said about her. One troll said: "That is not healthy.
Sorry." Another argued: "A terrible example to young women." A third commented: "Good grief.
.. put it away.
.. vile.
" And a fourth added: "I'm sick to death of this trend of near naked women showcasing their all while in late pregnancy, is nothing sacred any more? I wish they would show decency instead of their stomachs." The backlash would be enough to make anyone run and hide, but Iskra rose above it with a defiant message. She responded: "I do want to thank these trolls for being so obsessed with me.
"They made commenting on my big fat pregnant body their bigge.
