Amira Evans, 27, has long faced criticism for her body. As well as being bullied for her height growing up, trolls also make comments about her weight, but she’s had the last laugh
A woman has opened up about how she’s having the last laugh, even though trolls often make cruel remarks about her body. Amira Evans, 27, has been open about her body image struggles in the past, but now she’s making a name for herself in a big way.
The content creator, from Bristol, who boasts over one million followers on Instagram, claims she is actually getting “the best revenge” on the bullies who tormented her at school and the trolls who criticise her online, as she’s managed to profit from the very thing that appears to draw so much attention to her.
At 6ft 7in and weighing around 104kg (230lbs), Amira says she regularly faces criticism online from people who assume she’s overweight. However, she explained her paying subscribers have the opposite reaction – with some men paying specifically for custom videos of her stepping on scales and documenting her weight.
According to Amira, the requests aren’t about unhealthy weight gain or binge eating. Instead, subscribers encourage her to stay above 100kg by building muscle, with many attracted to the idea of a woman who is taller, stronger and physically dominant.
When asked what men find attractive about her, Amira said: “Definitely my height. A lot of my subscribers are attracted to the fact that I’m tall, strong and physically imposing. People often assume they want me to be thinner, but it’s actually the opposite.
“They like that I’m over 100kg because of my height and muscle, not because they want me to be unhealthy. They love seeing me in the gym, lifting heavy weights and getting stronger.
“A lot of them are into what I’d describe as a role-reversal dynamic. They like the idea that I’m the stronger one and that I could lift them up, carry them around or even protect them.
“It’s much more about strength and confidence than trying to fit a traditional beauty standard. I think it’s the combination of my height and my curves that people find so attractive.
“There are plenty of beautiful curvy women online, but there aren’t many who are 6ft 7in as well. I used to think my height made me stand out in a bad way, but now it’s become one of the things people admire most. I think people like that I’m confident in my body and fully embrace what makes me different.”
When she was younger, Amira claimed she would get “bullied” a lot when she was growing up. At the time, she was super slim, as she was athletic, and she was also the tallest girl in the school, having been taller than many of the boys.
She confessed kids would “tease her” back then – but now she has reclaimed her power as men can’t get enough of her super long legs. In fact, they appear to love many things about her.
“My curves they like because it looks natural not man-made,” she added. “They like that my curves come from being strong rather than trying to be as skinny as possible.
“My subscribers aren’t looking for me to become unhealthy or gain weight for the sake of it. They want me to build muscle and maintain a feminine shape.
“I’ve been lifting weights for years, so they love my physique because it’s athletic as well as curvy. They especially like seeing me grow my glutes and build strength.
“I think confidence plays a huge part too. Since becoming a creator I’ve become much more comfortable in my own body, and I think people are attracted to someone who embraces their size instead of trying to hide it.”
Not to mention, her thriving career has also enabled her to clap back at the haters. In fact, as men now flock to her for content, she thinks she’s got the “best revenge” on those who have been unkind.
Talking about this, she added: “I would give them a middle finger and say, I’m making hundreds of thousands of pounds on what you bullied me for and my life is amazing.
“The ones who doubted me, and the bullies and the trolls, you know they’re the ones living a horrible life, working a rubbish job, whereas my life is amazing and I get to travel all the time and spoil my family and that’s what life’s all about.”
