While some fans loved her style, other followers expressed concern that she was starting to get too skinny. “Not promoting a healthy body image for gymnasts or people in general. You’re getting thinner and thinner,” commented one user. “I think so too. Always thin, its natural state. But getting thinner is worrying,” another follower agreed.

“I agree. She’s too skinny,” commented another user. “I was thinking the same thing,” shared another user. “I was thinking the same thing. I really love her but every time she posts she seems to be getting thinner and thinner. It’s worrying. She has always had a thin frame even as a gymnast but this is borderline unhealthy,” another user added.

“Worried about your health. Eating is ok,” commented another follower. “You’re a beautiful woman, that’s for sure, but I’d say you need to put on 10 pounds.

“Someone please throw that girl a cheeseburger and fries with a milkshake!” other users commented. “I hope the little gymnasts who look up to her don’t go down this slippery slope. The body checking, ‘clean’ eating and strict lifestyle she promotes in her current content is deeply saddening and toxic to her young audience of athletes. It’s okay to struggle, but spread the message instead of spreading denial and promoting eating disorders,” shared another follower.

While there are some who are concerned about the former gymnast’s shrinking size, there are many who find her comments “completely inappropriate.” One user said, “Unless you know exactly about her health status, you have no place to tell her the body image she is ‘promoting’. People are responsible for their own health, she posted a video of her getting ready…it’s not all promotion.”

“These comments make me really angry right now. 20 pounds heavier and you all called him fat… now he’s too skinny. He can’t win, can he? How about you worry about your own body and stop criticizing it, since you haven’t lived a day in its condition… or know it personally, for that matter! Say what it is. You are not ‘expressing concern…’ you are making a judgment. Let her family and close friends express their concerns if they feel there is cause for concern and keep your judgment to yourself,” shared another fan. “Nastia, I hope the nice comments stand out more than this rude one because you look amazing in this dress! Just like all the other looks you posted! Love it!”

“Some of you are very rude. if someone has body image issues telling them to eat or look sick won’t help. you don’t know anyone’s health background or what’s going on in their life. some people just can’t gain weight no matter how hard they try,” said another user. “health is not a number on a scale. let this be between him and his health care professional. sending love, good vibes, and a happy and healthy year.”
