#RHOC Rookie Emily Simpson EXPOSES Fat Shaming Fans!
Real Housewives of Orange County rookie, Emily Simpson, is shutting down her critics — clapping back on Twitter after revealing that she had received fat-shaming social media messages.
“It’s never ok to call a woman fat, fatass, plus-size, etc,” Emily tweeted on Saturday. “I will take the criticism and be the voice for all the women out there that feel inadequate because they don’t fit someone’s ridiculous standard of beauty. Be strong. Be proud. Be confident. I got you.”

Oh nick I wish it weren’t true. But I’ve gotten some awful messages from WOMEN calling me fat and fatass. It’s horrible.

Emily cheered women of all shapes and sizes, vowing to promote healthy over skinny when Real Housewives of Dallas star, D’Andra Simmons chimed in.
Me too girl, I’m right there with you taking a stand! It’s so sad what lengths people will go to, to make another person feel so bad about themselves. You are amazing and drop dead gorgeous❤️ https://t.co/7xlqdlxKYm

Emily shared that some of the digs had been sent via Instagram direct message.
Thank you and I knew what I was in for. I ignore everything people say via Twitter etc. It was the direct messages to my IG account that I felt was just completely inappropriate and a personal attack

Plenty of fans applauded the Bravo newbie, voting YES for curves.
Are you kidding me? You are most women's goals! You're gorgeous inside and out! Thank you for being above that nonsense. That's totally about them and not you. I hope they receive some love in their lives. Until then, we will rock our jumpsuits!! 💜💜💜
