    Miss Italy Runner-Up Responds After Being Brutally Body-Shamed

    Poala Torrente broke beauty-pageant ground recently when the size 14 knock-out won second place at the Miss Italy competition. According to the Daily Mail, she was “ridiculed by other contestants and trolled on social media over her size after she came second in the competition.” The mother of the pageant’s third-place winner took to Instagram to suggest that women with Torrente’s curvaceous figure should “take part in the Plus Size Miss Italy contest,” per a translation by the Daily Mail.
