Adriana Lima posts cryptic message about body positivity and unfollows the VS Angels on Instagram

As far as Victoria’s Secret Angels come, Adriana Lima is officially the queen. Since walking her first Victoria’s Secret show in 1999 at age 18 and going on to walk every year since (that’s a whopping 18 shows to date), Lima is officially the longest serving Angel in VS history.

So it comes as no surprise that her latest Instagram post has got fans talking due to its out-of-character admission from the supermodel.

Posting to her 11.5 million followers, the mother-of-two shared a cryptic message discussing everything from body positivity to the pressures of being a woman, going on to detail a “sexy video” she was meant to appear in, but pulled out of after “something had changed in me”.

“Even though I have done many of this type, something had changed in me, when a friend approached me to share that she was unhappy with her body, then it made me think.... that everyday in my life, I wake up thinking, how do I look? Was I going to be accepted in my job? And in that moment I realized that majority of woman probably wake up every morning trying to fit in a stereotype that society/socialmedia/fashion etc imposed.... i thought that’s not a way of living and beyond that.... that’s not physically and mentally healthy, so I decided to make that change..... I will not take of my clothes anymore for a empty cause…..” she wrote.

In the photo post above the text, a message (presumably penned also by Lima) talks of the “unfair” and “superficial” values imposed on women, promising for the change to start with her. “I will start with me. I refuse to embrace that. I am next to you. And I will stand by you. Let’s fucking change the world,” she wrote.
