Olivia Wilde Calls BS on Breast-Feeding Ad, Then Body Shames the Model

We're totally in favor of calling out companies that constantly use models who perpetuate unrealistic body types. But actress Olivia Wilde took it too far when she criticized an ad for a breast pump bra modeled by a stretch-mark free woman. Here's her rant on Instagram:

Wilde is spot-on when she argues that most women don't look like this days (or months or even years) after having a baby. But she lost us when she shamed the woman in the ad for "lifting tiny weights and meditating." The idea that slender women only lift "tiny weights" is outdated, and the last time we checked, bashing any body type counts as body shaming.
