This presenter had a message for a body-shaming viewer who criticised her clothes and it was sheer perfection
Hero of the day is surely Leslie Horton, a TV news presenter in Canada who took time out from the traffic to respond to a viewer who criticised the clothes she was wearing and asked if she was pregnant.
Now she didn’t say if the body-shamer was a man or a woman but she probably didn’t need to.
Leslie – @global_leslie on Twitter – went wildly viral because her response was sheer perfection.

Bravo! And all the very best to Leslie.
Here are just a few of the things people said about it.
Wow, I am in awe of Leslie standing up to, and calling out, a despicable troll for an absolutely monstrous act of cruelty. So proud of you Les. https://t.co/jwVjM1Gw58

Why are some people such giant piles of trash. Her job is to REPORT THE TRAFFIC. That’s it. She could do it wearing a ballgown and clown shoes, it shouldn’t matter.
Her reply was amazing, but she should not have had to make it. https://t.co/tA3tclzSIg

“No, I’m not pregnant. I actually lost my uterus to cancer last year. This is what women of my age look like. So, if that is offensive to you – it’s unfortunate.”
