Camille Kostek is tackling the body shamers.
TheSports IllustratedSwimsuit model called out critics sharing negative comments about her body online, putting the haters on blast.
Kostek—who has been in a relationship with former NFL star Rob Gronkowski since 2023—shared a TikTok video of herself sitting in the dark while using the “saxophones getting louder” trending audio on July 23, writing over the footage,”me wondering when I’m going to stop opening my phone to losers having conversations about my body.”
And the 34-year-old wasn’t done yet. After all, she added another clapback in the video’s caption, writing,”go outside and get some sun!!”
Kostek was met with love and support from fans in the comments section, with the Wipeout host reacting to several heartfelt messages.
One fan wrote, “You are SO HOT and have helped give so many of us so much confidence in ourselves!”

Meanwhile, another user shared, “One day my daughter is going to ask me where I got her name and I’ll tell her that I named her Camille because of you. Knowing she shares her name with you will truly give her confidence because you radiate light and have always been an epitome of beauty.”
Kostek “liked” both of the kind comments.
As the Free Guy star continues to speak out against body shaming in Hollywood, she wants others to feel good in their own skin and understand that it’s even difficult for swimsuit models to navigate hurtful comments.
“I have problems of my own and I have people trying to label me, label my life, trying to figure who I am,” Kostek told Fox News in a 2019 interview following her Sports Illustratedcover debut. “Just because it may seem like I am so confident, so happy all the time, there are times when I feel low. There are times when I want to curl up in a ball and not expose myself on social media anymore and just close it down because of the trolls. But, I will not let those people affect me.”
“I try to remind people that as soon as you get to a place where you fully accept yourself, wherever you are in your journey, you get to a point where these trolls don’t even affect you at all,” she continued. “The best advice I can give is to know yourself better than anyone else. You’re already hard enough on yourself. Don’t allow these people to affect you and don’t compare yourself to anyone else. That’s how I get through it.”

She continued, “The first said I should get on Oz*mpic because I’m too fat. The second accused me of starving myself because I’m too thin. My weight did not change in the time period between their comments. (& it wouldn’t be any of their business if it did!)”
Ava said that “no one deserves to be picked apart for what they look like.” She added, “You don’t always know what someone’s gone through or what they struggle with. But no matter who you are… Your beauty exceeds such superficial measures.”
In a separate post, the 33-year-old added, “Human beings go through weight fluctuations,” she continued, “it’s life and you don’t know what people are going through. Meds, disease, etc…”
“Coming for me in my comments and telling me how I’m too skinny or I need to eat is absolutely not helpful and extremely body shaming,” she continued.”Body shaming of any kind is something I will not stand for.”
More than a week later, she shared a photo of herself sunbathing in a bikini, writing, “For the haters….with love and gratitude kindly [kiss emoji] my [peach emoji], I’ll keep smiling regardless [peace sign emoji].”
Indeed, while performing at Manchester Pride 2025, she graced the stage wearing an oversized T-shirt with a woman’s silhouette—dressed in a cropped tank top and black pushup bra underneath—printed on the front.
“If you don’t want to be criticized, you are in the wrong place. I take what’s good for me. I leave behind what is not good for me,” she explained. “I let my management take care of that, and if it hurts anyone, they will take care of that. And I need to focus on what’s right for me, how I feel and, last but not least, you can’t please everybody.”
Halle then clapped back with a cheeky response, “Did you guys know the heart of a shrimp is located in its head?”
“I haven’t gone on social media AT ALL with the conscious intention of avoiding things that hurt my feelings,” she began her lengthy post. “My eyes accidentally ran over a head line of people ‘body shaming me.’ Honestly, first thing I felt was super insecure over just IMAGINING what these pictures must look like, oh no! My cellulite! Oh no! I didn’t suck in my stomach! But then I was like…of course there are bad pictures, of course there are bad angles, my body’s not made of f–king rock, or all muscles, for that matter. But the saddest part of young girls growing up in an airbrushed world is they’re seeking a perfection that’s not real.”
“I’m writing this for girls like my little sister who are growing up on social media. They’re constantly seeing photoshopped, edited pictures and thinking that’s reality and everyone’s eyes get used to seeing airbrushed skin, and suddenly they think THAT’S norm. It isn’t. It’s fake. AND FAKE IS BECOMING THE NEW REAL. We have a completely unrealistic view of a woman’s body. Girls, cellulite is normal. fat is normal. It’s beautiful and natural. I won’t buy into the bulls–t today!!!! Not today satan and I hope you don’t either.”
She also called out the fashion industry after she claimed several designers refused to dress her for the Grammys because of her size. “Empower women to love their bodies instead of making girls and women feel less then [sic] by their size,” she shared on Instagram in January 2019. “We are beautiful any size! Small or large! Anddddd My size 8 ass is still going to the Grammys. #LOVEYOURBODY.”
“Absolutely not LOL,” she replied at the time. “My 30 lb son is just breaking my back in every photo.”
Another commenter then wrote, “If that kid is 30lbs he’s got some serious health issues going on.” The cookbook author shut the shamer down, saying, “Excuse you? No. Just no.”
“A few things because honestly I’m so frustrated and I need to vent this,” she wrote in December 2018. “I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy and my goodness I’m so glad I didn’t which is why this photo is now cropped. It’s amazing the comments and how rude some people can be from my last photo I took yesterday. A few things, no I didn’t get a tummy tuck, no I don’t have a personal chef, no I don’t have fortunes so I didn’t train everyday. Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance. I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section).. In that photo I had a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants and wow here I am defending myself. Why?!? If I would have posted the photo of my actual stomach in this photo I would have probably been shamed too even when I was wanting to be vulnerable with my journey. Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame? I say this to myself as much as I say this to y’all…why can’t it be that we are all different. Our bodies are all beautiful and crafted differently, they heal different, they react different, they simply look different. Why do we need to shame someone for not looking a certain way? Or feel bad about ourselves for looking a certain way? Can we be kinder to ourselves and know that every women has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful? Can we lift women up but not tear yourself down in the process with comparing? Let’s give that a try…..I love y’all. Back to my baby.”
However, the actress was quick to shut down the hater. “If a 25 inch waist looks big to you…then you’re looking through an altered lens. Be well,” she replied.
