Kostek said that it was a much-needed cry.
“A lot of my Instagram is great times in my life, great moments in my life, beautiful places that I travel to, but I have my days too,” she said. “I am human and I always say, if you have to cry to let it out. Let that bad bacteria out, let the bad toxins come out of your body, have your moment.”
And Kostek said that she matured from the experience.
“I normally don’t read into any of this, but this time I did. And I’m happy I did,” she said. “It helps me grow. It helps me have thicker skin, helps remind me what’s important in life, who’s important in life.”

Plus, she pointed out, the opinions of people on the internet do not matter.
“These people are s—. They’re so small-minded. I’m just coming on here and sharing my experience from one time, because we are our own biggest critics,” she said. “We wake up and go to sleep with ourselves every single day. We see ourselves in the mirror from every single day. We know what we look like. We know what makes us happy about our bodies and what upsets us. And we do not need to value the opinions of others, at all. Especially from people that we don’t even know, or that we don’t care about.”
Kostek said that she’s not going to change what she posts because of the body shamers.
“I’m going to keep posting bikini photos when I feel like it,” she said. “And it’s just the cherry on top when I get emails and messages from you saying that I inspire you and I encourage you to love the skin that you’re in. That’s why I do it.”
