Two high -level WAGs opened on the torrent of vile criticisms which they receive about their weight and their online appearance.
Two weeks ago, Paris Tier, the girlfriend of the defender of the Gws giants, Conor Stone, ended up in the office of his general practitioner to take the weight loss drug.
The catalyst was a wave of hatred online.
Tier had received comments like “I thought the Wags were supposed to be thin” in a moment which was a breakdown.
“I made a video and before publishing it, I said to myself:” Oh, I actually feel big, “she said.
“A few minutes after I was standing, I received five comments … people called me big and saying that I do not do, I suppose, the criteria of WAG.”
The pressure is not new. Tiffany Wood, wife of Western Bulldogs, Easton Wood Première captain, shared similar difficulties when he played.

“I am in mid-Tentaine now and I am still fighting with body dysmorphia because people told me that I was too big to be a partner,” she told ABC Sport.
Wood recalled cruel comments of foreigners online, as “she must have a great personality” and “she is not pretty enough to be with him”.
Tier and Wood agree that there is an unhealthy expectation placed on women who come out of elite footballers. The tacit standard? Be a size six.
Wood said these expectations have launched a seasonal food disorder while lagging fishing worsened near the final, when partners attend the awards ceremony.
“Coming in August of each year, I would manifest myself and I dropped at least, I don’t know, eight kilos,” she said. “We called him” the shred “.
She avoided red carpets and reward evenings, fearing articles pointed in the media and rigorous or not criticism.
“If you needed a dress to wear, you had to be photographed and you had to be a sample,” she added. “So yes, it was an annual shredding.”
The level echoes that lagging behind has become relentless, especially on Tiktok.
Paris Tier describes itself as a “ big wagt ” on its Instagram profile in response to the hateful comments that it received
Wood said that constant online lagging fish has led to developing body dysmorphia in the thirties
“This season was like bullets towards the wall … Bots and trolls gaining my weight,” she said.
She remembers sitting in her car after the doctor’s appointment, thinking back to a childhood photo of her in a pink tutu. This prevented him from going with the medication.
Wood has also thought about the past. “Now, with the help of therapy, I would like to be able to go back and hug this girl,” she said.
The problem extends beyond AFL.
Last year, Lauren Fryer, partner of Arsenal and the England footballer Declan Rice, deleted all his social media photos after being targeted on his appearance.
Fryer’s friend, Dani Dyer, told Fabulous Magazine: “It’s a very good mom, who stands for her. No one deserves to be criticized like that.
Kylie Brown, based in Gold Coast, the wife of the former Brisbane Lions captain, Jonathan Brown, also said.
Sharing photos of Bikini on Instagram, she revealed how Photoshop culture made her feel inadequate.

Alexandra Merrett, wife of the captain of Essendon Zach Merrett (photo together), said that the pressure had worsened around the brownlow medal ceremony
“Photos like this triggered me but now I laugh with the children,” she wrote. “Do not be fooled by organized phones.
“I was really going to let a bad photo kill joy?” Hell no! ‘
Meanwhile, Alexandra Merrett, wife of the captain of Essendon Zach Merrett, used Tiktok to shed light on the unrealistic fashion pressure of the Brownlow medal of AFL.
Pregnant with her first child at the time, Alexandra jugged body changes with the expectations of the public.
“Some of these women have two weeks to bring together an entire outfit,” she said. “This is why I find it so interesting when people are so cruel about the way everyone looks at the night.”
A full champion athlete and the wife of the eminent American basketball player Tracy Gahan, Erin Phillips knows this struggle well.
AFLW and basketball have once used weight loss and famine during its elite sports career.
“I was coming back to weight loss pills and I was not eating properly,” she told ABC News Breakfast.

She drew the start of her problems with OPALS bodysuits tightened with the skin, which she described as the “catalyst” for her body image problems.
“I remember thinking that all my problems in life would disappear if I could repair my stomach.
In its biography inside and outside, Phillips details how skin tests have created lasting bodily problems. “I felt helpless to change the body uniform or the skin fold test routine, but I could change.”
“I was not to have only had 16 years at the time, but I had these reflections on countless opportunities,” she wrote. “To put it simply, I hated my body.
Now 39, Phillips says that healing has come from learning to appreciate what his body could do. “We are made to measure, right?” So nothing should be alike. We have incredible bodies.
Since then, she has returned to court with the Woodville Warriors of NBL1 and now supervises young athletes through the club Junior Pathway program.
