Grandmother Torn Apart in Comments After Wearing Sleeveless Dress on Social Media
Cima launched her fashion blog after recognizing a gap in the representation of older women within the fashion space
“We need to shift the way we think about age. We don’t need to adhere to these old ideas in a modern world.” She continued. Unfazed by the numerous rude remarks, Cima chose to ignore them and instead extended advice to her latest and younger followers. She encouraged them by saying, “Aging is great. Everything you have learned your entire life is now there for you. You are now the wisest that you are ever going to be. Embrace it and be proud.”
Among Cima’s most widely viewed posts is a video featuring her trying on a dress from Amazon, a routine she frequently engages in. Surpassing almost 700,000 views, the overwhelming response, particularly on her Facebook page, exceeded any expectations she might have had.
Fortunately, Cima appears to be resilient against the negativity, as the criticism hasn’t deterred her from maintaining her regular content schedule. She continues to share her posts consistently despite the presence of detractors.
Cima’s video drew the attention of another influencer who expressed sadness at witnessing what they referred to as ‘grandma on grandma violence.’
Maggie Anders (@LibertyAnders), a content creator with her own YouTube show, took to Twitter to address the criticism in Cima’s comment section regarding her body. Her tweet, which garnered over 13 million views, brought attention to Cima’s situation and sparked a wave of positivity in the comments.
“The grandma on grandma violence on Facebook is real,” Anders wrote, “This woman looks incredible in her 70s and all of the comments are older women tearing her apart for her body and outfit.” Disregarding the hurtful comments, people quickly flooded the comments section with positive messages instead.
“Came here from Twitter — YOU LOOK STUNNING!” one person commented. “Makes me so sad to see that many women don’t age out of being so nasty and bitter to other women,” another user wrote. “You look AMAZING and don’t let these jealous people let you think otherwise!”
