Jelena Dokic is sick and tired of being body shamed. So she's taking a stand against it.
The TV presenter and former Australian tennis champion has been open and honest regarding her challenges with mental health, as well as her experiences with body image.
This week, Dokic shared a post on Instagram, acknowledging her recent weight loss and the complex public response that has come with it.
"Whether I gain weight, lose weight, depressed, feel great, go through the good or the bad. I am always honest about both sides. So I thought I would just quickly address my recent weight loss because a few people have written to me and also commented," she wrote.
Addressing commenters and online trolls, Dokic said, "It's not good if you gain weight, and it's not good if you lose weight. It's not good if you are a size 0, 10 or 18 it seems."

"I didn't focus on weight so much but just making better choices to feel my best. Now since a few people have already jumped on the judgement and shame train for my weight loss and said that I have succumbed to the 'diet culture' and don't represent the plus size people anymore, please don't even go there."
Dokic has previously had to defend herself against those who took issue with her size before her recent weight loss. It's the perfect example of how women can never win when it comes to the matter of our bodies.
