Anna Gantt about the 26M views of her TikTok video on body shaming and why even Bella Hadid talked about it

<p>In this episode we talk with the TikTok viral model <a href="https://www.instagram.com/annavgantt/">Anna Gantt</a>. She started her modeling career when she was only 15 with a size 0/2 (XS) and has been doing a lot of editorial shoots and runways around the world. The pressure with sizes being that young in the industry affected her and she developed an eating disorder. Now she is a 22-year-old model, size 4/6 (S) and fully recovered.&nbsp;<br> A few weeks ago, she went to a casting and the casting director told her that she had to lose weight because “they could not see her bones”. When she got home, she recorded a very emotional TikTok video of herself and now it has more than 26 million views. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@annavgantt/video/7021248231778585862?lang=en&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1">You can see the video here</a>.<br> The impact was so huge that even supermodel Bella Hadid followed her on TikTok and now Anna is working for brands such as Savage x Fenty and Free People to fight against body shaming.&nbsp;<br> Anna Gantt has also trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder with no medical solution, and she has a YouTube channel where she talks openly about it.</p> <p>Host: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/avestorff/?hl=es">Andreas von Estorff</a>.</p> <p>Podcast by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/modelmanagement/">ModelManagement.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/modelmanagement.com">LinkedIn</a></p>
