WHENEVER Rebecca Judd posts a photo of herself on Instagram, her followers always comment on her weight.
But since the 33-year-old fashion blogger and wife of former AFL star Chris Judd gave birth to twin boys a month ago, the remarks about her appearance have started to ramp up.
“I personally don’t like that look, its too skinny but wow after 4 kids,” wrote one commenter. “How can you [sic] fkn look like this after giving birth,” another wrote.
One woman even described Judd as a “bad role model” for mums.
“You are far too skinny, you look extremely sick and all you did was marry a footballer,” she wrote.
“You need to show mum life as real life not 4 weeks post baby in a bikini and every pic you have your face painted on.”
So it’s no surprise that Judd appears to have disabled comments on this post-partum swimsuit photo she posted on Tuesday.
She has posted numerous photos since then and her followers are able to comment on these images.
Judd has previously been criticised for her slim frame in the tabloid press. In 2014 after the birth of her daughter Billie, now 2, Judd penned a scathing blog post criticising The Daily Mail for calling her “scary skinny”.
“Healthy comes in all shapes and sizes,” she wrote. “Some people are naturally thin, some people are naturally bigger, some people are more athletic in tone, some people have minimal tone. We are all different and we are all NORMAL. This is the message we need to project, not ‘Is Rebecca Judd a bad role model for being thin?’ Seriously?

“Lets educate our children on what it takes to be healthy- that is a good diet and exercise. Let’s not educate them on how to bitch and judge other women’s body types. If you’re skinny or bigger but you’re healthy, that is all that matters — that needs to be the message.
“Lets not use women’s bikini shots and tell the audience that someone’s too thin or too fat and thus that makes them a bad role model. I would argue that the only bad role models are the media organisations continually judging these body types,” she wrote.
