Jelena Dokic has unloaded on social media trolls making references to her weight as the Aussie tennis great demands change.
Sadly, she’s been forced to issue a similar message this year too, calling out the “disgusting” behaviour of keyboard warriors.
“I am strong, I can take it and I don’t care about you but I will call it out. By doing this you might be doing damage and hurting someone else out there that you know nothing about and you have no idea what they might be going through. Dokic posted this image of herself to Instagram late last year saying it was “sad to see people treat and look at others differently because of their size”.
“Would you do the same if it was your sister, mother or daughter in that position and how would you feel about them being body shamed? Think about that for a second.
