Size 14 Model Who Won Second Place In Miss Italy Gets Body Shamed

Paola Torrente, the 22-year old engineering student, is very popular in Italy nowadays. Why? Because she is size (42)14 ('too fat') and she won the second place in Miss Italy! 

Haters are gonna hate, therefore, there were some fat-shaming reactions.

She also added that there are contests for fat people as well and invited people to take a look at other contestants. She pointed out how "too fat" Paola was in comparison to them.
