Outraged by what people were saying, one follower wrote: ‘Commenting on someone’s weight isn’t it. Even if you are just ‘concerned’.
‘Even if she did have an eating disorder, she does not need to hear commentary on their bodies from strangers on the internet.
‘Regardless of if it is from a place of concern. Do you really think your comment will help? No, she has people that are there to support her in REAL LIFE.
Stunning: Clearly not letting the negative comments put her off posting, Lily took to social media on Saturday to share a series of new pictures
‘So STOP obsessing over someone else’s body and weight. It’s weird behaviour and it must end. Period.’
Clearly not letting the negative comments put her off posting, Lily took to social media on Saturday to share a series of new pictures.
She posed up a storm in a square neck yellow gingham dress from Gioia Bini, which retails at £672 (€785).
