There’s a dangerous trend growing across America groups of radical fat shamers who take their online hate campaigns into real life. They target, stalk, and publicly humiliate Black women for their bodies.

These self-appointed “fat police” claim they’re promoting health,

but what they’re really doing is committing harassment and hate crimes disguised as opinions.

Let’s be clear: being fat is not a crime. There are no laws on the books that make it illegal to be overweight.

Yet, these radical individuals behave as if they have the right to patrol and punish others simply because of how someone looks. It’s not only ignorant it’s inhuman.

A Decade of Harassment

For ten long years, my family — myself, Crystal Lashelle Lax, and my daughters Dominique Sandra Marie Lax have been targeted, harassed, and shamed both online and near our home.

These groups of fat shamers have taken things so far that it has become a form of psychological and social terrorism.

We are hardworking, God-fearing Black women. I have raised four children as a single parent, worked long hours in hospitals, nursing homes, and factories in South Bend, Indiana, earning as little as $3.35 an hour.

I became a Certified Nurse Assistant for 21 years, and later a Certified Paralegal Attorney Assistant.

I’ve spent my life serving others, raising my children, and walking in faith.

Yet, despite all that despite living a respectful, law-abiding life radical people think they can invade my privacy, spread hate, and mock my body as if that gives them power over me. The Silence of the System

What’s worse, when Black women report these kinds of harassment and cyberstalking, we often get no police help.

Some officers even laugh along with the bullies or turn a blind eye to the abuse. That’s not protection that’s complicity.

This kind of behavior sends a disturbing message: that it’s open season on Black women’s bodies. That our lives, feelings, and dignity don’t matter. That our pain is entertainment.

But our lives do matter. Our bodies are not public property. And no one — not online, not in the streets has the right to target us because of our size or color.

The Mental Health of the Shamers

Let’s be real no mentally healthy person obsesses over someone else’s body weight. If you spend your time stalking, mocking, or policing a woman’s shape, that’s not about health it’s about control and hate.

No one has a perfect body. And if you think you do, ask yourself: why are you so consumed with someone else’s?

Why do you feel the need to destroy another human being’s peace just to feel powerful?

Standing Up Against Radical Fat Hate

Fat shaming isn’t about fitness or morality it’s a form of social violence. When mixed with racism, it becomes an even deeper act of oppression.

We need new laws and stronger protections for people who are harassed based on body size. We need law enforcement to treat fat-shaming and cyberbullying as serious crimes especially when it leads to stalking or trafficking.

And we need society to finally recognize that mocking and targeting someone’s body is never “just an opinion.”

It’s hate. It’s harassment. It’s abuse.

And it must stop.
