Jana Kramer made time to put some trolls in their place for criticizing her post-baby body
Only a few weeks have passed since the One Tree Hill alumna welcomed her son, Jace Joseph, which makes it all the more disappointing that Kramer had to defend herself against critics spewing unsolicited opinions on her body after she gave birth.
“A few things because honestly I’m so frustrated and I need to vent this,” the 35-year-old captioned an image on Instagram Saturday (December 8) with her baby bump cut off. “I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy and my goodness I’m so glad I didn’t which is why this photo is now cropped. It’s amazing the comments and how rude some people be.”
Kramer also enlightened haters making assumptions about her post-natal physique. “A few things, no I didn’t get a tummy tuck, no I don’t have a personal chef, no I don’t have fortunes so I didn’t train everyday,” she continued. “Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance. I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section).. In that photo I had a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants and wow here I am defending myself. Why?!?”
Sadly, the “Love” singer says that most of her discouraging comments came from other women, adding, “Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame?. I say this to myself as much as I say this to y’all. … Our bodies are all beautiful and crafted differently, they heal different, they react different, they simply look different.”
In closing her PSA, Kramer encouraged that women “be kinder to ourselves and know that every women [sic] has a different journey,” concluding, “Let’s give that a try…..I love y’all. Back to my baby.”
