One person commented on her pale skin. “Umm G L T … she forgot the T,” they wrote, referring the Jersey Shore motto “Gym, Tan, Laundry.”

Others noted her weight.

“Society/social media will tell you that we love skinny ladies but in fact we love normal size or even curvier women,” another wrote. “Stay healthy but not that healthy.”

“She’s bones,” another person chimed in.

“There’s a difference between being skinny and too skinny,” wrote another follower. “That’s too skinny. You need some curves.”

‘Jersey Shore’ star says dealing with body criticism is part of ‘being a female in this day and age’

A few days later, Farley posted a video reacting to the comments about her body, as well as an article claiming that she was “deathly ill.” “PSA because I am sick and dying,” she captioned the post.

“I don’t even know what to say,” she said in the video. “A girl can never win. You gain weight, you’re a fat piece of sh*t. You lose weight, you must be dying of some sort of horrendous disease.” 

“I love when people are like, ‘Oh my God, you look so good’ when you lose weight,” the mom of two continued. “But then if you gain it, the 5 to 10 ounds, the silence is deafening because those same people that like you at your skinniest won’t say anything when you gain weight.”

Farley, 41, said that she had lost some weight after she got sick following a trip to Miami. But, she added, her followers need to accept that she’s a woman in her 40s whose weight is going to fluctuate. 

“I lost weight. I’m a female. I’m 41. I really don’t know what else to say,” she said. “I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s not gonna last because it never does, especially when you’re a woman in your 40s. I probably will gain 10 lbs. by the end of the summer and then I’ll get a new article that says ‘you fat b*tch’ or something of that extent, or ‘Oh my God she gained weight, is she pregnant?’ This is just a small dose of what it’s like being a female in this day and age.”
