“That looks like every man in the women’s Olympics,” one person said, adding fuel to the already heated discussion.
“There’s something wrong with her chest. It’s not even an indent; it looks like melted wax?” another asked.

A few readers even hinted at the actress having an eating disorder or even using aggressive weight loss drugs like Ozempic.
“Idon’t know what she’s heating up. She needs to be heating up a cheeseburger,” one joked.

The comment section balanced out after the initial barrage of critical comments, with people both defending Portman and condemning the attacks made against her.
“The amount of hate in these comments is proof that the human race is on a steep decline. Everyone being mean is basically a wet fart stinking up our world,” a user wrote.
“Any young woman who is having fun on vacation isn’t going to look their best when a paparazzi takes a photo of them without them knowing,” another argued. “This isn’t a photoshoot. What are you expecting her to look like?”
Natalie Portman flaunted her bikini body when she was spotted frolicking across the beach on St. Barts on a sunny Christmas Eve.

Some readers were put off by the treatment the photos received, particularly by female netizens who were too keen to shamePortman’s body and comment on her love life.
“I love seeing women tearing each other down,” one user wrote sarcastically.
“She has a pre-puberty girl body,” a user stated.
“What a horrible thing to say about a fellow woman!” another replied.

The actress’s trip to the Caribbean comes months after her divorce from Benjamin Millepied, which was finalized in March. Portman filed for separation amid allegations of him cheating with 26-year-old Camille Étienne.
Portman and Millepied got engaged in 2010 and tied the knot in August 2012. They went on to have a son, Aleph, in June 2011, and a daughter, Amalia, in February 2017.
Page Six reported that the couple briefly separated in 2022 but attempted to mend their relationship on their 10-year anniversary.
Rumors of the affair were divulged by Voici, a French magazine, alleging that Portman had discovered her husband’s affair in early March 2023.
“Absolutely disgusting.” Readers were put off by the amount of hatred directed towards the actress

BP, you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel again with this nonense. "Woman has body. Wears clothes appropriate for the occasion." Who cares? Who wants to read about on-line arguments? Some people, obviously - but what about: "Bored Panda’s mission is to spread good news and highlight top artists from around the world." https://www.boredpanda.com/about-us/

My only comment is a reply to LaToya Cummings disgusting comment. If you truly think cheating on a partner is justified if their body isn't perfect, you suck

Oh yes Natalie Portman can win with people - some of us take the view that no-one should be spreading this muck around. And in any case, if I had had the great good forture to marry Natalie Portman, I'd be entirely happy with whatever figure she currently has because you know what? Never mind that she's entirely "oh yes please!", if you marry a woman, it's supposed to be for not just now but for the long term: when you get old together. If predictable changes in your spouse as they age are a problem for you, go boil you head. Have you any idea how *MY* body has sagged and deteriorated since me and my spouse got married? Right. So, we get on with it. And hey, how's being extra-cuddly a problem? 😁

You can quite clearly see she has been working out to get abs like those. People need a good look in the mirror before throwing shade in the wrong direction.

This is what a Post Trump world looks like so we should be used to it by now. Men have Been Fantasizing about Natalie Portman since 2002 and NOW SUDDENLY Y'all are not into it anymore? The Internet just seems to be a place where people look for participation awards to see who can be the most savage when in reality most of us look like our of shape, pasty lumps of clay compared to Natalie Portman. It's absolutely disgusting but expected from Americans who showed us who they are recently and continue to show that the lowest common denominator is now the norm in our backwards society.
