Model Obliterated A Photographer Who Recommended She Shouldn't Eat For Two Weeks
"You are very lucky that I am secure in my body, and I love myself enough."
The modeling world can turn harsh fast, especially when someone decides a body is up for debate. That is exactly what happened to Belgian model and influencer Thewizardliz, whose viral TikTok showed her pushing back after a photographer made a shocking comment about her weight. But once she arrived, the situation took a nasty turn, and the photographer allegedly told her not to eat until the next shoot in two weeks.
Her reaction was immediate, and the clip quickly drew a wave of support online. Read on.
Thewizardliz revealed that she has previously suffered from an eating disorder, so this comment was especially hurtful and personal. "I do not ever want to model again," she said.

"I am beyond shocked by all the love and support I received for this video," the model said. "I really didn't want to post it because I felt like I might have reacted too harshly, but I am not doing this for me."
"I'm doing it for my younger self, who developed an eating disorder because of people like this who constantly told me what and when I should or shouldn't eat," the influencer explained. "I am doing this for every girl/boy out there who has suffered or is still suffering from an eating disorder, for everyone who has been put down and didn't feel comfortable speaking up."

Her response was blunt, and the room clearly felt it.
It also echoes the raw-food clash, where one sister was nearly left out of family dinner.

Thewizardliz says that the clothing company has reached out to her to apologize for the photographer's hurtful comments. They asked if she would still be willing to do the photoshoot with a different photographer, but Thewizardliz declined.
Later, Thewizardliz was informed that the photographer had been fired. What a win!
