The Catalan Alba Farelo, also known as Bad Gyal, has once again set social media ablaze with a visual response that leaves no room for doubt. The artist, used to challenging the limits of the stage, has this time delivered a precise blow to those who question her physique, with just two photos accompanied by a direct phrase. The reaction on social media was immediate.
Photos that speak louder than a thousand words
During her recent vacation, Bad Gyal shared two images: one showing her abs and another focused on her rose tattoo and her figure. When she did so, she accompanied the photos with a phrase that read: "When they body shame you for months but you look like this". The contrast between the comments and the photos was enough to silence the haters and spark a wave of support among her followers.
She not only made the photos go viral, but also the musical background she chose to go with them: the beat from her recent hit "Da Me," which reinforces her message with rhythm. It was a masterful move to turn criticism into the spotlight.
Her fight against the haters
This isn't the first time Bad Gyal has replied to criticism about her body. Back in March, she recounted how several guests at her hotel "stared at her with disgust" because of a bikini, and she replied without filters: "As long as I'm alive, I'll dress however I want." Her public stance has been clear for some time: not letting herself be influenced by malicious comments about her appearance.
On another occasion, the artist expressed her weariness: "It's been constant for years," after revealing her struggle with pressure about her chest and other physical standards. With this new action, she has reached the peak: silencing the haters with visual proof and attitude.
Unconditional support on social media
After the post, there was a flood of comments expressing admiration and support. Many female users celebrated her courage and thanked her for the natural way Bad Gyal faced the situation. Her message of visibility and respect regarding body shaming has been highlighted by feminist accounts, who see her message as an educational gesture rather than an act of provocation.
Some analysts on social media point out that the singer labels this reaction as an act of strength: showing her body with pride has an obvious emotional component, but it also responds to a calculated narrative. She takes the opportunity to replace external control with internal control. Both photos are not only aesthetic, but also symbolic.
The importance of this message
Bad Gyal doesn't just share music, but also messages of real empowerment. With this new action, she gains visibility for her idea that no one should feel limited by someone else's standards. She also suggests, without saying it, that her new single "Da Me" not only sounds good, but also strengthens her message: body, attitude, and talent are compatible.
It can be noted that it's predictable she'll continue with her strategy. That is, she'll keep combining music with powerful visual testimonies to build a narrative of strength and coherence. The move is working for her: followers and media are paying attention.
