Lizzie Velasquez, once called the 'world's ugliest woman,' is using her social media to bring attention to a recent instance of cyberbullying.
Lizzie Velasquez is reminding people of the power of social media after a Philadelphia-based news anchor called a photo of the motivational speaker and author “scary.”
“I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you didn’t mean to say this directly to me,” Velasquez wrote in her caption address to Martinez. “Since October is national anti bullying awareness month, let’s take this as a learning moment and remember even ‘joking’ like this to a friend can always end up hurting someone else.”
“This is disrespectful & just rude. I’m so sorry about people like this in the world,” one person wrote. Another said, “Good for you for calling him out!” “Whether you have a blue check mark next to your name or a private account with a few followers, your keyboard has power. There will always be someone on the other end of the screen and those few words, accidental or not, can really hurt someone,” she said. “My parents raised me to believe in the power and importance of forgiveness. I’ve forgiven the person who posted the ‘Worlds Ugliest Woman’ video of me and I will forgive Mr. Martinez exactly the same.
