“I’m inspired to post a lot of positive messages on my social media,because growing up I felt as though I needed somebody that looked like me in the limelight, or in entertainment to promote being different, and promote accepting your differences,” Jax said.
She would go on to discuss posting a photo of herself in a bathing suit on social media.
“I remember I posted a picture of me in a bathing suit, and that was something that I was very nervous about,” Jax said. “I was having a lot of issues with just a lot of social media trolls, people would try to make fun of my size and my weight to the WWE and what not.
“I just decided to go out there and post a picture of me in a bathing suit. I said, ‘You know what? This is my body. I’m going to embrace it, and I’m going to show the world’. So I posted it on Instagram not thinking it would be that big of a deal, and I got such great feedback, and my fans, my close friends and family telling me how inspiring I was to them, and that they got more confidence in the fact that I went and showed basically one of my most vulnerable parts to the world.”
