Since her comeback to teleseryes, Gen Z star Xyriel Manabat has been getting unsolicited comments about her body. In fact, the 19-year-old previously revealed that she had to go to therapy because of people sexualizing her.
"Para po kasi sa'kin, I'm so much more than my appearance," she told Ogie Diaz in an interview, opening up about the struggles of being a busty girl. "Hindi lang ako 'yung silhouette or body type ko."
The actress went on to share how she gets judged for wearing revealing clothes just because she has big boobs.
She recalled, "Pareho kami ng damit ng isang celebrity na ka-age ko or younger sakin, pero dahil iba yung body type niya, fashionable siya. Stylish siya. Pero pag sa'kin, 'Ano ba yan nag-aask ng attention. Niluluwa pa.'"
Being busty also comes with physical challenges, Xyriel shared.
"Sa totoong buhay po, ang sakit ho sa likod. Totoo po 'yon," she confessed. "Nakukuba ka talaga tapos ang hirap ho humanap ng matinong posisyon. Mahirap po talaga siya."
The actress, however, clarified that she's grateful for what she's *blessed* with. Sharing a piece of advice to her followers, Xyriel said: "Celebrate your body, love your body, embrace it, kasi ikaw lang yung meron nyan. Sayo lang yan, eh."
