A fitness freak mom-of-three was banned from Facebook after posting a tirade against plus-size women who pose in lingerie to promote body confidence. Maria Kang, from California, has shot into the spotlight once more by writing she was "annoyed" by "news stories about how overweight, nearly obese women should be proud of their bodies," according to California TV station News10.
The 32-year-old, last month dubbed a "fat shamer" for uploading a snap of her toned body and kids with a "What's your excuse?" caption said Curvy Girl Lingerie's selfie photo campaign "normalizes being unhealthy."
"We need to change this strange mentality we are breeding in the U.S. and start celebrating people who are a result of hard work, dedication and discipline," she wrote.
"I'm not bashing those who are proud and overweight, I am empowering those who are proud and healthy to come out and be the real role models in our society," she added.
But Facebook deemed her thoughts as "hate speech" and blocked her access to the site for 48 hours, removing the post and comments.
It later apologized, via News 10, and admitted the content had been "mistakenly removed."
