After accusing social media influencer, Arielle Charnas of glamorizing an unhealthily skinny body, actress Amanda Seyfried is in hot water! The backlash comes after she called the Something Navy fashion designer out for showing off her wealth which also helped her shed the pounds after having two babies.
It all started with Amanda sharing a screenshot of a comment that her pal had left under a bathing suit picture of Arielle.
The said comment asked the social media influencer to admit that her ‘privilege’ and her ‘wealth’ are what really helped her bounce back to having a thin frame after having two kids.
And that was not all! The lengthy comment also accused Arielle of ‘glorifying’ a pretty unhealthy body image!
Aside from sharing her friend’s point of view with her followers, the actress added her own as well, saying that Arielle was ‘flaunting’ her damaging lifestyle and that she hoped to start a real discussion about the ‘bigger picture’ as far as having influence online is concerned.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘My very smart friend (not tagging) wrote this on a semi influencer’s feed and she blocked both of us (even though I did not tag her-at least she is getting the message).’
The actress went on to say in part: ‘If we are ready to get paid for flaunting our lifestyle (and inspiring others in the meantime) we have to be open to discussions surrounding what we are promoting. There are gray areas everywhere. Each of us has the chance to back ourselves- especially on this platform.’
In a later post, she also suggested that influencers should ‘empower’ others instead of taking advantage of their ‘power.’
As you can imagine, Arielle’s supporters were not happy about it and dragged Amanda’s argument as ‘tone-deaf’ an even ‘cruel.’

Arielle herself responded on IG stories, saying that she does not tolerate hate over her body on her page and that any such negativity will result in people getting blocked.
