On June 17th, Bossip posted these photos of VH1 "What Chilli Wants" show host Tionna 'Tee' Smalls. I could only shake my head in disgust while reading some of the comments. So many people have cruel comments about her looks and size, but I'd just like to bring a few points to the attention of those hating: - Tionna was photographed on vacation...which I'm guessing was most likely funded by the income she's managed to bring in doing what she loves with her bright personalty, likability & CONFIDENCE.
- Tionna was photographed with her man. I am not sure about the details of her relationship, but my guess is 70% of the people hating were single and 20% have 'refake-tionships' where there's no real emotion or connection on one end or both. Whether they work out or not, Tionna's man seems proud to be with her (which I'm sure many of these bitter people haven't experienced).
- She was enjoying herself. We live in a society so stuck on materialistic & shallow things. Seriously, sometimes it's okay to let go & enjoy life for what it is...not what people think your life should be.
- When will we learn that our weight doesn't make us? Imagine if Oprah listened to all the things people said she couldn't/wouldn't be able to do because she didn't "look the part". She'd be right along with these people senselessly hating instead of giving her employees $10,000 checks just because!
- Let's strive to be happy for a fellow woman who's confident, doing well & happy (be they big or small)! Do your thing Tionna!
