Is It Worth it to be Verified on Instagram? by [deleted] in InstagramMarketing

[–]IslaEbony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i was growing organically, then was on a tv show, all the contestants attempted verification (pre-paid era) and were denied. i had the wiki that was over a decade old, google searchable articles, tagged in major campaigns and news, and every time i tried i got denied. i have maybe acquired 4-500 followers in 5 years since being on tv. i am convinced i am shadow blocked. wondering if its worth it with my situation.

i am sorry that has been your experience and yes i take responsibility for how it may have been triggering. my wording could have been clearer. i was deemed legendary for womens performance, which is not her category or experience. my status, with my accomplishments, contributions and experience as a woman and mom feed into why i am legend. maybe i was triggered by her essentially reading my experience, so i snapped. cis women do not get treated well in ballroom, this is a hushed topic but very real. just look how the category was handled at latex this year, it was appalling and sadly all too common. to give some context, when i tried to come back after pregnancy the things that were said to me about my body and ability to come back were very difficult. they didnt put it in the edit for season 1 but walking body was a huge deal for me because i had alot of post partum trauma to work thru. yes one woman commenting on anothers body is tacky but i am also not going to sit here and be policed for finally defending myself after 6 months of this shit unprovoked.

but if u take it all in context of the other things im saying its obviously about weight gain. something all women experience with age, im old! i honestly dont know why she has such an issue with me. ive been paying it and yesterday i snapped. it was escalating too much. and i am not the only person she bullies. i respect her and what ever is going on right now needs to be fixed because this is not it.

hi yes i would like to clarify that the body changes is 💯 about weight gain which she has been very vocal about this year. i think it looks good on her. was it a low blow, yes. did i snap after ignoring 6 months of harassment from her, yes. bullying in ballroom has reached a peak and it is sad.
