A loving couple have shared their experiences of dealing with vile online trolls due to being in a "mixed-weight" relationship. Lexi Wilson and Kobe Smith first met in high school, forming a close bond as "best friends". However, Lexi initially didn't consider a romantic connection with Kobe, saying her hesitation was due to his size.
In what she describes as a "light bulb moment", Lexi realised she loved Kobe. The couple, from Alabama, USA, have since received criticism from online trolls. Speaking on Love Don't Judge, Lexi said: "We're in a mixed-weight relationship and people often think our relationship is fake.
The judgement we get is the fat jokes, 'how did you get', 'you must be rich', 'she's only after you for your money." Meanwhile Kobe, proud of his larger frame, stated his size has never hindered him in the dating sphere. He boldly claimed: "I'm the most confident big man in the world .
" "Anytime I get the opportunity to take my shirt off, I'm just him. I never got bullied or anything like that because of my size or anything of that nature." When Lexi posted an image of Kobe on TikTok, it "blew up", with initial comments mostly positive.
But as the pair started sharing more moments from their lives, vile comments started appearing ever more frequently, reports the Daily Star . Kobe highlighted this, saying: "I feel like I've been judged online because in the comments they see her and they'll see me they'll be like 'how? '" Kobe, who champions body positivity, often.
