Ballerina Says She Was Body-Shamed

Thirty-eightar-old Ashley Boude-yer has danced in some of the world's most beloved ballet performances for the New York City Ballet, including the Nutcracker. Bouder was rehearsing for a big fall gala when she says she was body-shamed hours before she was to step on stage. According to Bouder, she was told her costume accentuated her problem areas and that it was up to her whether she danced or not. She says she gained ten pounds after a physical injury and the COVID-19 lockdown.
