“Today I was taking a shower and discovered that I have new stretch marks. Can you see them coming in? They’re like little pink tiger stripes. And honestly, I’m over it. This is my body. This is where I’m at. You guys need to accept that I’ve gained weight,” she said.
Hill also shut down internet rumors that she is pregnant and attempting to hide it from her followers. “No I’m not pregnant. No I’m not pulling aKylie Jenner,” she said, referencing theKeeping Up with the Kardashiansstar, whokept her pregnancy a secretuntil after her daughter Stormi was born.
Hill said some internet trolls have accused her of getting injectable fillers in her cheeks, which the social media star said is not true. “No my cheeks are not filler. Yes I have filler in my lips. I had filler injected in my nose two years ago and that was the last time,” Hill said. “I have not had filler in my cheeks in almost three years. And I didn’t even have it in my cheeks. I had it in this section under my eyes. People just assume the absolute worst about everything.”
Towards the end of her video, Hill urged her followers to “be kind” and “accept people for who they are and their growth.”
Fellow beauty YouTuber James Charlesjumped to Hill’s defense on Twitterafter seeing tons of hate directed at her online. “y’all are so f–king weird… an account and thread of people literally dedicated to hating jaclyn hill? the ‘beauty’ community continues to prove that it’s ironically the absolute ugliest place on social media,”Charles wrote.
“Be kind to one another. It’s not that hard,” he added.
Hill firstopened up about gaining weightin August, when she shared an honest message about insecurities on Instagram.
Hill credited her boyfriend for accepting her as is and thanked him for his ongoing support.
“But this guy @farnumgrindtime still tells me how beautiful I am every single day & still picks me up and makes me feel like the most special girl in the world. He speaks to my heart everyday & I genuinely believe God himself blessed me with him. He’s a special one💕,” she said.
In the post, the YouTuber added that her subscribers could expect to see her looking a bit different in her upcoming makeup tutorials. “Side note: you’re going to notice in my future videos…. my face is bigger, my arms are bigger, my entire body is bigger. But you’ll just have to deal with it, cause this is me❤️.”
