Keke Palmer Before And After
Even in the past, the actress has remained vocal about the issues that she faces with her body, be it her PCOS or her adult acne. Keke Palmer shares it all. A few years back, she had taken to her social media to rant about her acne and how she was done with it, and the fans could not get enough of her real-ness.
This time round Palmer has taken it upon herself to normalize the post-partum body of a woman. She brought out a whole new human into the world, and her body changing because of it is the least of her troubles.
Many have taken to their social media to call her out for feeling way too comfortable with her new body, and she is ready to shut them all up.
The actor has only put on slight weight, which has added such a glow to her face, it radiates. She also posted a picture of herself showing off her body, thanking her son in the caption for giving her curves that she never knew she had.
While there are many, who seem upset with the fact that a woman is feeling confident and satisfied with her body, Palmer completely owns it, not letting the hater bring her morale down.
In another post on her social media, the actress could not stop raving about the fact that her skin finally has the glow she deserves, and she says it is all thanks to her son.
In a society that constantly tries to humble women because how dare they just be themselves, Palmer is a total inspiration for new mothers who may be feeling conscious of their bodies.
The actress has revealed that becoming a mother has made her more powerful and resilient to the judgments of the world and that she finally feels confident enough to strut around with her head held high.
The actress also opened up about her body issues from before she got pregnant, and while she is finally leaning into her new body and feeling okay with it, her boyfriend, obviously, had to give an unsolicited opinion on the outfit that she wore to one of Usher’s concerts.
As if being a mother means that the actress cannot wear clothes she wishes to wear and that she somehow has to be more modest, fans were upset over her boyfriend’s rude comment, though Palmer has not commented on the situation directly.
