Body shaming is never okay.
It doesn't matter who the person is, how "fat" they are, or how "skinny" they are. Body shaming is something that should never happen. But, sadly, it happens every day and it's mostly online. And it isn't something that's exclusive to us "normal folk."
Celebrities are body-shamed constantly online.
The most recent celeb to fall victim to bullying is former Game of Thrones star, Jason Momoa, and it's safe to say that his fan base is not happy about it, at all.
Read on for the tea on the shaming of the GOT heartthrob...
Who doesn't know who Jason Momoa is?
He was born in Hawaii.
He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and moved to Iowa when he was growing up. He initially majored in marine biology before switching to wildlife biology, until he began a modeling and acting career in 1998.He's most famous for his role in fantasy series, Game of Thrones.
Momoa has had his fair share of TV appearances...
Jason is happily married with three kids.
Like any family, the Momoas enjoy vacations every once in a while...
But the main downfall of being a celebrity is the paparazzi. Hot snaps of celebs on beaches while trying to enjoy their vacations are what makes magazines sell - it's a sad reality of journalism, my friends...While enjoying a vacation in Italy last week with his wife...
As one would expect, a lot of comments were gushing over the Hawaiian-born actor...
Users took to Twitter to express their love for Momoa, branding him as "gorgeous," which is totally true...But the body-shaming (somehow) soon began...
The mind boggles...
Trust me, you aren't the only one who is baffled as to how people have the audacity to call somebody out for this...Jason's legion of fans are having none of it...

The dictionary definition of the dad bod...
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a dad bod is "the body of a man who is slightly too fat and does not appear to do a lot of exercise." Okay then...Health organizations are not happy about this label...
Men's Health UK is slamming the use of the term "dad bod," saying: "The man is thirty-nine years old, he is, in fact, a dad, and he definitely deserves a nice, long family vacation. And even if you don't like how he looks, why do you need to say anything!?"It's not easy to train like a world-class athlete every day...
"Not to be dramatic, but choosing to hate on Jason for, I don't know, deciding to finally not train like some kind of world-class athlete seems unfair," Men's Health went on to say.It is undeniable that Jason is in great shape...
"Dad bod" or not, the Aquaman star is still in amazing shape - having abs and bulging muscles doesn't always define perfect health. Jason's personal trainer, Mark Twight, spoke to Men's Health about the strict workout regime that prepared him for his role in Aquaman."Sometimes the student is also a teacher..."
"During that job, Jason coaxed me into visiting Planet Rock, a Detroit-area climbing gym. I was out of shape for it, but he was patient and his enthusiasm for climbing was contagious. I hadn’t realized how I missed it or that I could climb again without it being my identity. Sometimes the student is also a teacher," Twight recalled.
