Amanda Seyfried is the latest person to accuse fashion influencer Arielle Charnas of promoting an unrealistic body image. The Something Navy creator shared a bikini photo on Instagram on July 9 to celebrate how "proud" she was of her figure after giving birth to two kids, but fans were quick to call her unhealthy and underweight.

"Totally fine that you're privileged and thin, good for you (I am too-ish!). Got no problem with either of those things. BUT if you don't acknowledge how your wealth made your workouts/body possible, you're just perpetuating the patriarchal (totally unrealistic) notion that mothers should 'bounce back' after childbirth, an impossibility for anyone that can't afford ample childcare," Amanda's friend wrote in the comments section on Arielle's post.

"My very smart friend (again — not tagging) wrote this on a semi-influencer’s feed and she blocked both of us (even though I didn’t tag her — at least she’s getting the message). If we’re ready to get paid for flaunting our lifestyle (and inspiring some in the meantime) we have to be open to the discussions surrounding what we’re promoting," the Hollywood starlet wrote.

She continued, "We have to back ourselves up — not run away from the issues it presents. There are gray areas everywhere. Each of us has a chance to back ourselves, especially on this platform. If you know who you are take a second to decide if what you’re throwing out there is worth it in the big picture."
