Zara McDermott has said she has a ‘responsibility’ as she promised to change her content on social media after triggering followers with eating disorders.
Zara reflected: ‘I was sadly trolled quite badly when I came out of the show [Love Island] because of my weight you know I wasn’t the smallest girl there but I was a perfectly healthy weight but sadly the trolls decided to tell me I was too big.
‘I then went on my own health and fitness journey and lost some weight as a result of that. I wasn’t suffering from an eating disorder myself [but] I knew there was a massive demand for weight loss content.’She continued: ‘So I was just posting and posting not actually realising the detrimental impact it was having on so many of my followers. I was just meeting the demands for that content.’
‘We know that social media doesn’t cause eating disorders but it can play a large factor in the development so essentially posts of mine and many other influencers over the years could have triggered someone’s eating disorder at some point.
‘I also have a responsibility it’s a bit of a tightrope because I want to share my life but I have to be mindful that there’s millions of people watching what I do and I don’t want to trigger someone who’s really vulnerable so it’s about finding that perfect balance.’
