Kim Kardashian’s Personal Trainer Hits Back at Criticism Of Her Tiny Waist

Silencing the body shamers

When Kim Kardashian arrived at the 2019 Met Gala quite literally dripping in a Theirry Mugler custom corseted dress social media started was buzzing with comments about her physique. 

And now her trainer Melissa Alcantara is hitting back at claims that her body is “fake” and criticism of her seemingly impossibly tiny waist. 

“To make things clear 1. This dress is corseted BUT 2. Kim trains her ass off 6 days a f–king week, she wakes up early AF and is dedicated. 3. I paved the road for her but SHE did the work! MOST IMPORTANTLY I don’t give a shit about your opinions on her body if you think she fake or not! I see her every morning, I see her train and I see her sweat and I see all the work she does outside the gym and THAT is commendable!”

Here’s what Twitter has to say about the look:
