Ashley Benson has hit back at a fan after they commented on her postpartum body on social media.
In a world where commenting on women's bodies, especially after they've given birth, seems to be unfortunately all too common, Ashley Benson is reclaiming her power.
Just four months after the Pretty Little Liars alum gave birth to her first child with her husband Brandon Davis, she's already being accused of using the notorious weight loss drug Ozempic to slim down back to her pre-baby body.
In a recent post showcasing her "fav hat" published on Instagram on Monday, she was seen showing off her lower belly, wearing a black crop top and a pair of gray sweatpants. The look was paired with socks and sandals as well as her red and white hat and a pair of blackout sunglasses giving her that effortlessly casual but chic look.
While the 34-year-old was only trying to show off her 'fit, she received a handful of comments discussing her body, with many praising how great she looked.
“How was she JUST pregnant?!?" wrote one user while another added: "How you look so good after having a baby girl tell me."
A third also commented: "Meanwhile, here I am almost 4 *years* after having a kid, and looking 8 months preggers still with my weight/belly. She looks GORGEOUS."
However, in response, another Instagram user speculated she was on Ozempic with a picture of the infamous weight loss drug that seems to have a whole bunch of other celebs in a chokehold.
After stating that she wasn’t upset at the assumptions via her Instagram Stories, she went on to explain why she found them "funny."
"Comments like this are so funny to me,” Benson wrote in a black text box alongside a screenshot of the response in question. "I know a lot of people take Ozempic and that’s totally fine. To each their own. But don’t discredit people who also work very hard to get their body back like I’ve done with mine.”"
"Getting back to work forced me to focus on my health and working out and I wanted to feel confident and good about myself," she continued before crediting her sizzling postpartum body to Melissa Wood-Tepperberg’s fitness app.
In a follow-up, Bensen also shared a photo of herself with a yoga mat, some free weights, and a resistance band while wearing some gold under-eye masks.
“Nothing makes me happier,” she captioned the second Stories post.
It comes shortly after the star welcomed her first child with Davis back in February.
Benson shared a blurry photo of her newborn’s hand wrapped around her thumb and added a pink heart emoji to the image. And more recently, she dedicated a Father's Day post to her lover holding their child with her little face covered.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
