Cierra Ortega Leaves Love Island USA Amid Racism Controversy
Love Island USA’s Cierra Ortega was removed from season seven for past derogatory social media posts. Just weeks after another cast…
Whitney Port has responded to the notion that she ‘glorifies an unhealthy body image’ for the young women who follow her.
On Sunday the 40-year-old media personality took to Instagram to do an ‘ask me anything’ session, also known as AMA, with her 1.4 million followers.
‘Up before everyone. AMA!’ she prompted before answering a fan who inquired, ‘Do you think your body glorifies an unhealthy body image for girls?’
The mother-of-one, who recently opened up about her five miscarriages, prefaced, ‘I totally understand this question, and I appreciate you asking it with care.’
She then carefully answered, ‘I never want my appearance to make anyone feel like they need to look a certain way – especially young kids.’

She said elsewhere in her response, ‘I know I’m thin – it’s how my body has mostly always been – but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my own complex relationship with food and body image.’
The former Hills star added, ‘I continue to work with a nutritionist to help support a healthy relationship with eating and my body, and that journey is ongoing.’
Port said she shares her life ‘as honestly as I can, but I also recognize how powerful images can be.’
She emphasized that ‘health and beauty come in so many different forms, and i try to be mindful of that in what I put out into the world.’
Finally, she wrote, ‘I’m always open to learning and doing better, especially as a mom to a son who’s growing up in this same world.’
Back in 2023 the High Confectionary creative director admitted to not eating enough.
In an episode of her With Whit podcast, she addressed fans’ concern that she looked too skinny.
‘I do think I’m clearly not eating enough and that how I look right now does not look healthy. It’s not how I want to look,’ she said candidly.
The ex-reality star then asked her fans not to ‘worry’ and explained she was planning to ‘eat thoughtfully’ and ‘put the right things in (her) body,’ as well as ‘work out in a way that will build muscle..’

In Sunday’s AMA, Whitney was also asked about aging, with one person positing: ‘How do you embrace getting older?’

In Sunday’s AMA, Whitney was also asked about aging, with one person positing: ‘How do you embrace getting older?’
She once again gave an honest answer, typing, ‘Physically, it’s been a challenge to look at myself and not judge or expect things to look the way they used to.’
‘I started noticing the biggest changes around 38, especially in my skin — some sagging and crepiness — and that’s taken some getting used to,’ she added.
Her response continued, ‘Living in LA, where the obsession with staying young is so intense, it’s easy to get caught up in it. I’m trying really hard not to let that happen. I want to care without being consume.’
And she highlighted the positive side of getting older: ‘Emotionally, getting older has felt really good. There’s more awareness, more perspective, and a deeper sense of who I am.
‘I care less about things that used to take up way too much space in my head — and that part has been such a gift.’
