Body positive model Lesego "Thickleeyonce" Legobane cracked a good laugh after a Twitter troll came for her claiming she's 'pretending to love her fat body'.

The outspoken personality has dealt with a lot of body shaming on the Twitter streets and while she usually shrugs the negativity off, she just can't seem to win. 

This comes another Twitter troll decided to come for her saying that she's apparently on a "weight loss journey" and “told y’all that girl hates herself and how she looks”.

Even though Thickleeyonce is featured in the year's Marie Claire Naked Issue, where the chosen women shared letters to themselves titled Dear Body, sharing their body positivity journey. 

Thickleeyonce's letter reads: "#DearBody others may not understand why I walk around like you are covered in diamonds. They look at you and just see flaws; they don't understand the unconditional love I have for you. I am so happy that I am no longer at war with you; my acceptance of u has brought me peace". 

This year I was a part of Marie Claire's New Naked #DearBody campaign, and I wrote this letter to my self. #DearBody others may not understand why I walk around like you’re covered in diamonds. They look at you and just see flaws; they do not understand the unconditional love I have for you.I am so happy that I am no longer at war with you; my acceptance of you has brought me peace. @marieclairesa

The claims by the troll seem to not have phased her with Thickleeyonce replying to the accusations with "People want me to hate myself so bad they can’t believe it’s possible for a girl like me to be in love with herself".

What’s this about me losing weight / being on a weight loss journey? 😂
