Woman called out for 'fatphobic' response to new garden items from Woolies
- Replies 13
One social media user didn’t receive the reaction she’d expected when hundreds of users on social media began to criticise her. The woman made a video mocking Woolworths new garden range featuring plus-sized statues.
The shopper uploaded the rather 'curse-laden' video on TikTok in which she peruses a variety of garden ornaments, many of which featured plus-sized bodies posing in different yoga positions.
A confused expression can be seen on the woman's face as she browses the gardening section of the store in the video while she asks, 'What the f*ck?' when she comes across the plus-sized collection.
'I need answers. I don't get it,' she wrote in the caption of the video. 'What are these, and who would buy them? Look at that. Look at this one. What the f*ck?'
The statues, which cost $16 each and can be found in Woolworths, depict female bodies in a variety of yoga poses.

Since then, the short video has been watched nearly 30,000 times, but the response was probably not what she was expecting.
Many people commented on the TikTok video, asking the woman why she had an 'issue' with the decorations.
Several of them also commented that they thought the ornaments were fine and that they fit in with the rest of the garden decors perfectly. Some said they'd even buy one for themselves if given the chance.
'They are magnificent; shifting our mindset about these bodies is long overdue,' one person wrote in the comments section. Another agreed and added, 'Body positivity. Every size and shape is beautiful.'
A lot of TikTok users also said that the woman was 'judgemental' about the shape of the bodies and asked if she would still be upset if the statues showed women with 'smaller' bodies.
'You're being fatphobic. Those are just some queens doing yoga,' one of the viewers said. A second one added to the comment, saying: 'You sound super judgemental. What's wrong with body positivity?'
Meanwhile, a third user mocked the woman and said, 'Love how she thought most people would agree with her.'
A lot of people who left comments said they love the statues and would even buy one for themselves. Credit: TikTok.
The items in question are a range of limited edition yoga statues that are on sale at selected Woolworths supermarkets, for a limited time only. So if you're looking to get your hands on a piece or two, we suggest heading over to your local Woolies now!
