A CURVACEOUS woman has revealed how her modeling didn't take off with support from others.
She said she was trolled for her size, but allowed the hate to fuel her passion for her chosen career path.
Ella Halikas (@ellahalikas), who models for Sports Illustrated, filmed herself discussing her journey in a video on TikTok.
She mouthed the words to a viral clip from one of rapper Nicki Minaj's Instagram live streams.
"Those people came together to try to end me," the audio narrated. "And sweetheart, before I get off this Insta, let me say this, it'll never f**king happen."
"My haters, try again Ms. 'You’ll never be a model with that size,'" Ella wrote in the caption.
