Chanel West Coast's fans knew that her April 2023 swimsuit photos came less than six months after she'd welcomed daughter Bowie Breeze, but they body-shamed her regardless. In the Spring of last year, the West Coast Hustle star showed off her fabulous postpartum figure in a skimpy printed swimsuit, posting to her Instagram and shouting out her 2022-launched Coasty Swim brand in her caption. Modeling a cut-out bathing suit as she sizzled poolside, Chanel told fans that she was "living" her "best life," but it looks like some users were determined to tear her down.

Striking a pose with a folded leg while by an outdoor pool, the TV favorite added in wedge-heeled sandals, this time flashing her curvy rear as she lowered her shades.

While many sent Chanel love, some straight-up bullied her. "Stop buffet night, it's going to your hips," one user hurtfully wrote. Another told the podcast host that she'd gotten "thick."

Admits To Liposuction After Baby

Chanel and boyfriend Dom Fenison welcomed daughter Bowie Breeze in November 2022. Earlier this month, the star featured on the Virtual Reality podcast.

“I’m really weird about … medications and stuff. I’ve heard all these things like, if you stop taking the Ozempic, you could possibly gain more weight.
