A woman has gone viral on social media this week after taking to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jordanhartley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> to hit back against her body-shaming haters who slated her bikini pics. Per <a href="https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/fashion-trends/woman-defends-string-bikini-after-social-media-backlash/news-story/38cd15c4c9f7c3267778ee28d9076e81" target="_blank" rel="noopener">News.com.au</a>, the issue was raised when 26-year-old health guru Jordan Hartley shared a video of herself showering at the beach while wearing a string two-piece swimsuit. [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CJo3SyCDmEP/]] Hartley, who hails from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, received criticism from a number of fellow <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@littlebabyj3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> users, who felt that her beachwear was simply too small. [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@littlebabyj3/video/6912618339672132865]] For instance, one person wrote: "I just hate seeing these little to nothing 'bikinis' at the beach with my kids," while another wrote: "True what do you achieve doing vids like this? I'm just wondering." <img class="size-large wp-image-12632298" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/0190ce4d-screen-shot-2021-01-11-at-16.01.15-1024x277.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="277" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-large wp-image-12632299" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/850552f6-screen-shot-2021-01-11-at-16.01.04-1024x191.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="191" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-12632202 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/e6d98b0f-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-10.09.30-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1072" height="242" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-12632203 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/97b10af6-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-10.09.36-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1092" height="244" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-12632204 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/a498b858-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-10.08.52-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1093" height="185" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-12632205 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/13e96106-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-10.09.20-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1104" height="239" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="wp-image-12632206 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/9a9a8c87-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-10.08.47-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1073" height="190" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-large wp-image-12632300" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/d3d24de6-screen-shot-2021-01-11-at-16.00.58-1024x235.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="235" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "YES you should wear a bit more than string to the public beach, kids are there and don't need to see a full a*** in their face! these are disgusting!" A fourth wrote: "May as well wear nothing Ganga," and a fifth added: "Just one sneeze and it's gone." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CJenEJ6jsz2/]] Not to be deterred, Jordan later responded to her harsh critics in a follow-up post which she put up on her Instagram stories. Wearing the same swimsuit that so incensed them, Jordan wrote in a caption: "Honestly ladies that looks disgusting women aren't women anymore they're trying to be men where is the feminist women that respect themselves? [sic]" [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcX-IMjm7s/]] She added: "Here to point out and shout it louder, COMMENTS like this are not ok. You do not have the right to comment on other [women's] bodies. Women [should] stick together no matter what." <img class="size-full wp-image-12632193" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/01/12ba3542-screenshot-2021-01-11-at-09.38.55-1.png" alt="A TikTok screenshot." width="465" height="711" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] In a later Instagram post, Jordan appeared to be proud of her own achievements, writing in a caption: "As I wake up in my house alone, I am grateful [for] the space and the silence. It's the type of security I had dreamed of since I started my business at age 22. "I can't help but notice though the shedding going on around me, the universe showing me exactly what isn't for me. Leaving me to feel lonely sometimes. I am blessed to enjoy my own company but I am aware of sub conscious and what it's saying." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ1p05cD3u7/]] She added: "So as I enter into my 27th year, I can feel myself calling in deep connection. To myself, friends, lovers and the earth. I'm excited for this journey that has just popped up in me, it feels powerful."
