To which Kelly replied, “Honestly I don’t really look at DM’s too often. I have actually in the past like a couple of years been tried to stay off reading things on social media. Just because you know, even if you take good, you also take into the bad as well. Really just like goes back to what Booker said about listening to yourself trusting your gut. And also certain fans being not nice all the time.”
Cathy then went on to elaborate on the kind of DM’s or comments that she gets. Kelly then also went on to highlight the fact that women are more subjected to being judged by their clothes and their body type than men in general.

Kelly said, “I feel like I get a lot of criticisms when it comes to how I look, which I think women are more subjected to than men a lot of the time. So that was something really hard for me especially when I started so I kind of stayed away from it. I have struggled with eating disorders in the past so that’s something that’s super sensitive to me. If I post something from the gym they are like why do you squat you don’t even have an a**.”
Kelly said that this kind of statement used to worry her in the past as she was super conscious about her body. But she then said that she got used to listening to such cheap things as there are always such people around.
