Singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini says she is "sick" of being called thin.
The 32-year-old "Call My Name" hitmaker recently shot back at an Instagram user who called her a "bag of bones," reported Female First.
"I am so sick and tired of it being ok to call somebody too thin or a 'bag of bones'. I would never dream of calling somebody too fat and that they should maybe cut down on their food intake? What is the difference?
"You have no idea what I have been through. Just losing my father in law v recently and everything that comes with that. Not that I am or should justify myself to anyone," she wrote.
Fernandez-Versini insisted body comes in all shapes and sizes.
"I am so sick of people thinking it's ok to be mean or body shame anyone. And it's woman on woman. Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.
"I am just tired of the ignorance... At some point it's just enough. Some people are naturally thin. My mother is all of 4'11 and six stone something. And is incredible healthy and happy, she continued.
