A vulnerable Decker can be seen addressing comments surrounding a Reddit blog that bashes the 33-year-old’s image, fashion line and family dynamic.
"I’ve always been pretty confident in myself, and I’m not perfect,” Decker said from a hotel room while on a Mommy & Me vacation with her 7-year-old daughter, Vivianne. “I’ve always fluctuated with my weight up and down, but I have to admit that I’ve recently been sent a Reddit page that rips me apart on a daily basis.”
She continued, “They’re talking about how, apparently fat I’ve gotten, and how boxy and how terrible my body looks. And they're accusing me of editing my body and all these things. It’s pretty awful and I can’t believe this is still happening in the world -- that people are doing this."
After admitting she’s gained ten pounds over the last year as a result of “letting herself live” and “not obsessing over her weight,” Jessie’s emotions get the best of her as she moves into the bathroom in an effort to hide from her daughter.
"I'm on a trip with my little girl and I'm hiding in the bathroom because I don't want her to see me upset. I don't want it to affect her, but I just want you to keep in mind that I'm a person. I'm a human being," said Decker. "Your words hurt me."
As the owner of her own fashion line, Kittenish, and taking the stage in front of fans regularly, Jessie’s image is at the forefront of everything she does, but she is determined not to let the haters get her down.
"My one last thought is, if you don't like me, then leave me alone,” she pleaded. “If you don’t like what I have to say, what I do, anything about me, then stop paying attention to me. Just leave me alone.”
