Her loyal fanbase immediately rushed to the comment section, flooding the post with hundreds of supportive messages:

The model's viral TikTok response comes just months after she lit up the runway at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit show in May. Kostek also stole the spotlight as one of the standout stars of the 2026 SI Swimsuit issue, featuring in a sizzling photo shoot on location in Botswana.

From Crying Over Trolls to Building Armor

This isn't the first time Kostek has faced vile online commentary regarding her physique. Back in 2019, internet bullies targeted photos of her wearing a neon bikini in Cabo San Lucas, leaving nasty comments calling her body "disgusting" and telling her to "cover up."

While Kostek admitted at the time that those cruel remarks about her "wide hips" brought her to tears, she has since transformed her mindset completely: "I let other people’s words get to me back then," she reflected. "But now I realize: those comments are completely irrelevant. The opinions of people I don’t give a damn about shouldn't carry any weight. It builds my armor, helps me grow, and reminds me of what actually matters in life."
