"I’m sorry @ariellecharnas. This is just terribly tone deaf and I thought you were better than this nonsense. I’m also a size zero after two kids, but come on babe, this is genetics. Pls be proud but own your privilege," one person wrote. "I am NOT trying to skinny shame. However, this is so unrealistic for so many young girls and moms alike who are influenced by you. Especially the fact that you are advertising this as a post-childbirth body. This looks unsafe and unhealthy," another fan added.

"Why am I being bullied for posting myself in a bathing suit? I should be punished because I'm thin and worked hard to be fit after giving birth to two kids? I'm not responsible for making people feel good about themselves," she said in a written message.

She continued, "I am healthy and proud of who I am and the body I have. If you are going to attack me for me being me on my own page then you will be blocked, I don't have time for that. Instead of telling me what to focus on on my account maybe you should focus on doing it on your account since it matters so much to you."

A lot of trolls remarked that the only reason she was in such good shape was because she could afford a nanny to watch her kids while she went to the gym.

"P.S yeah I have a nanny. I'm a working mother with two kids and proud of it and that is my business and nobody else's. It also has absolutely nothing to do with my body and for random women to tell me I should be crediting them the nannies for my figure and my 'excessive workouts' is actually disgusting," she added.
