Told Bikini Body Needs To Gain Weight

In a caption that also acknowledged the childhood ice cream photo closing her gallery, Nastia Liukin told fans that her "lessons" were: "Pink isn’t just for february anymore, if you look for it, there are signs (and beauty) all around you,  don’t go into trader joes wearing an erewhon hat," and that:  "Summer makes me almost as happy as I was in the last slide lol."

Nastia did receive praise, but some fans skinny-shamed her. "You look a little healthier than usual.

2020 Anorexia Storm

Nastia Liukin had made 2020 headlines for clapping back to a fan on Instagram. When she was told she looked "borderline" anorexic, she wrote: "If taking pictures of my OWN body—a body that won me many olympics medals, a body that I push each day to get stronger, a body that God gave me—is inherently promoting anorexia, then honestly, we’ve gotten to a place in the world where just BEING is offensive. This is ME. "
