The curvaceous Panamanian model, known for her positive stance towards body image, took to social media to call out the inappropriate behavior of some theme park visitors.

Gracie was looking forward to a magical day with her younger siblings, but her experience was quickly soured by the stares and negative comments from fellow visitors. She recounted facing people laughing and taking photos of her voluptuous figure throughout the day, turning what should have been a fun time into a nightmare.

Taking to Instagram, where she boasts 6.4 million followers, Gracie shared a video of her Disneyland visit. The footage showed the model trying to enjoy the attractions, while in the background, onlookers were seen making jokes and laughing.

In the video, Gracie delivered a powerful message: “It’s time to stop shaming others. I was at Disneyland today, wanted to have fun with my siblings, but our day was ruined by all the people who were making fun of the size of my body. The worst part is they’re teaching their kids to do the same. They kept taking pictures of me, giving me dirty looks all the time, and continued laughing at me.”

She added, “I know you might think I’m overreacting and that it’s my fault for being a big girl, but this is literally what God gave me and I have to embrace every part of myself. Even if you have a condition, you look different, you shouldn’t be bullied for your appearance.”

Gracie emphasized the importance of respect and how everyone should feel safe and comfortable, regardless of their appearance. “I would never speak negatively about someone else’s appearance. Respect is fundamental. This should be a safe space, where everyone feels comfortable and I wasn’t doing anything wrong, just existing. At the end of the day, I just wanted to have fun like everyone else. If you don’t like something, stop hating and keep it to yourself.”

Gracie’s post quickly garnered support, receiving over 75,000 likes and numerous messages of encouragement from her followers.
