Overweight Woman's Video Explaining How She Was Brutally Criticized For Marrying A "Physically Fit Man" Goes Viral
"We’ve been made to believe that someone who is physically fit like Scott could never in a million years be in love with or compatible with a fat woman"
Alicia McCarvell’s latest TikTok struck a nerve after she shared how strangers reacted to her marriage, and the backlash was as ugly as it was predictable.
The influencer, who has millions of followers, said a woman messaged her husband, Scott, and suggested he should be with someone who looked more like him. McCarvell then followed up with a video about the criticism, the assumptions people made about her relationship, and the way strangers tried to explain away her marriage.
The comments that followed showed just how quickly people rallied around her. Read on.
McCarvell, who boasts a staggering 4.9 million followers, shared a TikTok on a beautiful Sunday of her and her husband looking joyful and gorgeous

In the second video, McCarvell claimed that she and Scott "don't make sense" by conventional standards of beauty and that the public values her fit husband more highly than she does.
Alicia gently revealed the reasons why people treat her the way they do
aliciamccarvellIt's very bizarre for someone to have to justify their own successful relationship, don't you think? McCarvell claims that in response to the hate posted on her video of her and her husband, people have tried to undermine either Scott (one comment implied that Scott must be gay) or her (another implied that she must have employed him as an "escort").

If you take anything away from Alicia and Scott, let it be that not everyone who doesn't meet your standards is unhappy. My mother also gave me this final piece of advice: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
