PHOTOS'The Bachelor' Star 'Queen' Victoria Larson Flaunts Sexy Neon Bikini After Matt James Defended Her Following Cruel Body Shaming Comment
Making others green with envy!
Over the weekend, The Bachelor star Victoria Larson was spotted soaking up the sun on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale.
As if she were auditioning for Bachelor In Paradise, the self-proclaimed "Queen" flaunted her killer curves in a neon green ribbed bikini by Hunza G featuring a plunging front-tie top and high-waisted Brazilian-cut bottoms.
Splashing around in the water and strolling in the sand with her dog, the 27-year-old accessorized her trendy two-piece with a glamorous pair of Gucci shades, featuring the brand's signature G logo print on the oversized lenses.
The brunette beauty shot to fame on the ABC dating show this season, competing for the heart of Matt James, the first Black male lead in the show's history. She quickly became a source of drama in the house, clashing with a number of the other ladies and was even accused of bullying other contestants.
While the reality star seemed confident with her bikini body, she was recently the subject of cruel body shaming.
James came to her defense after one of his friends was caught making fun of her figure on video. During a game of golf, James' friend Jerry insulted Larson's body — saying it "doesn't look very nice" — in an attempt to distract his buddy from hitting the ball during their match.
"That's not my character, and that's not what I'm about," the handsome hunk said on an episode of The Real talk show after the video was shared. "I apologize on his behalf. I don't know if you'll get it from him, but that's not something I support or stand for."

"It's just a constant reminder that you need to be smart about the people you surround yourself with," the 29-year-old said. "And those moments when you're in sports and people are trying to say things to you to throw things off your game, it's sad that someone would think saying something like that about a woman that I was dating would deter me from what I was trying to do."
James added: "Who is he to comment on someone's body? It's such a low blow for any man to try and take a dig at something like that. It's a shame that that's even associated with what was going on."
Larson also wasn't having any of Jerry's harsh words. She commented on the body-shaming video, which was posted by Bachelornation.Scoop, and wrote: "Cute.... I love my body :)"
She took it one step further and shared a split photo of Miss Universe contestants in bikinis and a shirtless man sitting on the couch, holding a beer on her own Instagram page. The photo of the man included the words: "Her nose is too big." Larson captioned the Instagram post with a golf emoji to throw shade at James' body-shaming pal.
