Adriana Abenia and Tania Llasera discuss obesity on Instagram

The week has started with the palpable tension between Adriana Abenia Yes Tania Llasera still kicking. Both starred in a tense showdown in the networks that has gone viral. The reason was to have different opinions about an advertising campaign of a well-known swimwear company that showed images with different physionomies. One of the models caught the attention of the first, who, according to her argument, did not hesitate to publicly denounce her support for obesity. An argument that did not convince his colleague at all.

Zaragoza stood out if you consider that “I am the first to defend the diversity of women’s bodies, a woman can be beautiful and look beautiful, whether she has an S or an XL. But frankly, it seems dangerous to me to defend diseases like obesity.” Adriana Abenia says the matter seems extremely serious to her: “Being obese is not healthy and should not be the subject of an advertising campaign, just like being skinny. Let’s face it, obesity leads to problems such as diabetes, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure…”, he continues. stories† And she concludes with a statement that has caused much controversy and for which she is accused of fat phobia: “Of course people who suffer from this disease have the right to dress, but it does not serve as an aesthetic in other women, it gives rise to misunderstandings”.

Among the many reactions generated by these words, many of them contradictory and directed against her, that of Tania Llasera stood out in particular. The woman from Bilbao has always established herself as a staunch defender of body positivity and the acceptance of our bodies in any form. His arguments in favor of this movement are well known and perhaps that was why he felt that he could not ignore Adriana Abenia’s exhibition.

Tania also has the stories of Instagram to counter it: “Dear Adriana, many of my followers want me to comment on your debate about the ‘excuses of obesity’. My take is this: we have seen models of impossible sizes as normal for decades. Finally, the diversity we see on the street comes to advertising and nowra, it turns out to be ‘apologies for obesity’, he begins to ask himself ironically. The presenter made no bones about it and addressed Abenia directly: “I tell you with love: ‘cheap demagogy’ stigmatizes the weight as unhealthy, unattractive, unappetizing to look at … with the trite ‘I tell you for you own good’ as a shield”, continue. To conclude, Tania notes: “Auntie, there are thousands and millions of girls who look at these ads and finally see themselves represented, and who feel validated with tears in their eyes. The most important thing, as you say, is the health, but for starters… the most important thing is mental health. That is my humble opinion as a woman who has traveled various sizes in public.”

As expected, the answer has reached the ears of the above, who has not hesitated to reply to Llasera’s answer: “This is demagoguery and you know it† I’m not criticizing overweight, and as I’ve always defended, women are precious no matter how tall we are (…), but promoting extreme thinness or obesity through advertising seems very dangerous to me. I know defending the extra pounds is part of your essence in networking and I respect it. But neither view is healthy, ask a doctor to see what he thinks,” he concluded.

Tension mounted and Tania Llasera didn’t like this morning’s reaction at all, so she returned to the fray: “Let’s see what I don’t even know where to start with you, honey… For starters, this is not a war of who has gained more pounds I crush you in this sister Taking on different bodies is no excuse for anything That is; you you and you too we have sizes for everyone Finally the bikinis adapting to you comes to… Whatever you are, the woman you call ‘obese’ is a surfer, and her name is Malia Kale Opaa, and I don’t think she can be judged and labeled as ‘obese’ only by her in a photo, sincere The dangerous thing my friend is to objectify a woman, reduce her to her image and then lightly assume that she is obese And open a debate about her, that is free demagoguery There is everything in the world and that is its beauty , there are healthy fat women and toxic thin women, and vice versa, there is diversity everywhere and advertising is obligated to represent us all at the end It is time,” he explained. To end this discussion once and for all, Tania Llasera limited herself to making her point clear: “But hey, You know I don’t agree with you, and neither do you, I’m afraid. Let’s agree we disagree and that’s all. Not anymore. I want it to be clear that what you are saying represents me as a patatero. Nothing anymore”.
