Mexican gymnast Alexa Moreno has been body shamed for her physical appearance at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Social media users were tweeting that Moreno needed a diet while others were calling her a “pig” all due to her weight. Another Twitter user posted a picture of a cartoon pig along with his tweet as a way of making fun of Alexa’s weight; the user has now erased his message.
Others, such as sports journalists, came in Moreno’s defense and showed her support for her hard work and for representing Mexico in the Olympic Games.
