The model discussed how body shaming over social media impacts her mental health during an appearance on Addison Rae’s podcast, called That Was Fun with Addison and Sheri.
Hailey revealed she’s tired of scrutiny about her body shape and whether she is expecting a baby with her husband, Justin Bieber.
“I’m not 19 anymore. I’m 24 now. I feel like my body has changed the most, even this last year. And that’s what happens,” she said before revealing the frequent commentary can be “really, really really bad for your body image.”
Hailey said living in the spotlight can be tough as people openly criticise how she looks without thinking about how hurtful their comments can be or considering what she might be dealing with.

“Women go through so much with their bodies, and I feel like people just don’t have any empathy with that. It’s like, well, how do you know what is even going on in my body right now? Birth control is wild; periods are wild; what if I’m PMSing?”
During the podcast chat, Addison also opened up about the pressure she puts on herself to look perfect all the time.
The TikTok star shared how she was plagued by self-doubt when she went to a Pilates class recently and couldn’t help but compare her body to others.
“The other day, I did a class; it was kind of a time where I was feeling super insecure,” Addison said. “I wasn’t happy with my body; I was not in a good space, especially just that week. Sometimes it’s just the worst. I got into the class, and I almost started crying. It was a bit overwhelming. I din’t feel confident in that moment.”
