“To all those body shamers from my last post, that is called an oblique. Not a spleen, not a rib, not a hip bone ( please learn your anatomy),” the stylist, 39, wrote via Instagram on Friday, May 31. “Body shaming is not ok no matter what your size. If I see it anywhere, on any feed, I will call you out.”

Mulroney hopes to make a change for the better on the platform by speaking up. “I normally wouldn’t pay attention to it, but saying something is actually important because when we address it, it will hopefully make someone think twice before posting such stupidity,” she concluded. “Thank you and goodnight.”

The backlash began on Thursday, May 30, when the Good Morning America fashion contributor attended the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards. “#Cafa2019,” she captioned a pic of herself posing in a formfitting gold gown with bell sleeves.

While the majority of the comments were complimentary, some were less friendly. “You are too SKINNY,” one person wrote, while another posted, “Too little.”

When it comes to her friendship with the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex, Mulroney is tight-lipped. “Listen, every person has to have a bit of privacy in their life,” she explained to Harper’s Bazaar in a March interview. “There are certain things I hold very dear and secret. There are things I’ll never talk about for sure. My life is an open book, but there’s always a few secret pages in the back that nobody will be able to read.”

The fashion guru’s children — twin sons Brian and John, 8, and daughter Ivy, 5 — served as page boys and a bridesmaid, respectively, in Meghan’s May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. Their father is Jessica’s husband, Ben Mulroney.

The Canada native has maintained her close bond to the Suits alum since she became a royal. She, along with pals Abigail Spencer, Serena Williams and Amal Clooney, attended Meghan’s New York City baby shower in February. The duchess welcomed son Archie on May 6.
