Renee Paquette, who also didn’t mention Booker T by name, said the following on Twitter.
“Body shaming is the absolute shits. Wtf is happening right now? Totally thought we were moving past talking about ppl like this. While the focus is normally on women, I’ve had many men talk to me about body dysmorphia. Piss up a rope.”
