    The self-described “Panamanian plus-size model” shared on social media that her recent Disneyland trip was not what she imagined it would be.

    On social media, Gracie shared, “Today I came to Disney with my family, ready to have fun, but the second I arrived, the nightmare started.”

    Sharing her troubles with her followers, the 27-year-old expressed that she felt like a “zoo animal” after noticing that she was being stared at and recorded by other park-goers.

    In her viral Instagram video that has since amassed 5.4 million views, Gracie asks, “Is it just me or are people not used to seeing big girls like me at Disneyland?”

    Despite the negativity, Gracie said that she “had so much fun.”

    Unable to fit in one seat due to her figure, “I needed two seats on the slinky dog ride, but that just means double the fun!” she exclaimed.

    In a bid to enjoy themselves, Gracie and her family visited Disneyland. Walking around the theme park, the plus-sized influencer quickly noticed people staring at and even recording her unique body shape. 

    Seeing that people were staring at and recording her, Gracie decided to “change the game.” Bringing her camera sunglasses along with her to the theme park, she decided to give them to her brother to capture what was happening.

    “If they were going to record me, I was going to record them,” she said, and asked her brother to record other people who were staring at her in a bid to expose them.

    In the footage, people can be seen staring at the influencer while she walks around.

    Gracie reacted to the video, saying, “I couldn’t believe my eyes. People were shocked to see my body, like hello, this is America, almost 40% of people here are plus size, so why were they acting like I was some rare creature?”

    Speaking up on her size, Gracie expressed that “not everybody looks the same”

    As a plus-sized model who openly supports body positivity on her social media, Gracie complained about the way she was perceived by others.

    After the reactions she received in the theme park, Gracie wondered, “What do people expect me to do? Shrink myself so I can go to an amusement park?” 

    “I can’t just wake up one day and be skinny, it’s 2025 and people need to realize that not everybody looks the same and that’s okay,” she added. 

    Online users fired back at Gracie: “You thrive off of the attention”

    As an answer to Gracie’s questions, her followers ran to the comments section of her post.

    “She’s not serious,” a user said. 

    “You’re not naturally ‘big,’ that’s the issue,” one user wrote. “No one wants to see that at a theme park with children,” another added.

     “Girl, you know why,” another netizen said, while another exclaimed, “You thrive off of the attention.”

    “It’s not because you’re plus size. It’s because your body has been modified and looks too ridiculous for most people,” a commenter noted.

    “They are looking ’cause it’s not natural,” another user agreed.

    Gracie Bon said her body is “literally what God gave” her

    But this is not the first time Gracie has spoken up about this topic. Becoming an internet sensation with her unique body shape, the influencer frequently shares how shocked people are due to her large bosom. 

    In June 2024, the influencer shared a similar incident in Disneyland Paris. Sharing that people were making fun of the size of her body, she said, “They kept taking photos of me, they gave me bad looks all the time or just kept laughing at me.”

    Gracie also said her body is “literally what God gave” her and that she has not had any plastic surgery done on her.

    “I know you may think that I am exaggerating and that it’s my fault for being a big girl. But this is literally what God gave me. And I have to embrace every single part,” she said.

    While it's not polite to stare, and people SHOULD know better than to stare, people who do extreme cosmetic surgery on themselves (e.g., this lady, Stalking Cat [bro who made himself look like a tiger], or The Enigma) basically, in my opinion, waive their moral right to get outraged when people stare at them like the sideshow exhibits they are. Because they literally purposefully MADE themselves into sideshow exhibits. We all know that Gracie Bon had plastic surgery, even though she lives in Delulu Land herself and tries to insist she's "all natural" and has never had plastic surgery. And she did it because she wanted to, not because it was forced on her. She actually WANTS the attention - she just wants to pick and choose WHAT attention she gets. If it's negative or she doesn't like it, she wants you to stop looking at her. Sorry, friend, that's not how reality works.

    Sideshow freaks, caricatures, cartoon people. If she was really plus-sized, she wouldn’t have a small waist and flat stomach. I had an undiagnosed thyroid condition my whole life, which meant I fought to keep my weight down for decades before finding out and getting on the right meds. There were times I was plus-sized, and even though I exercised and watched my diet, and when I was in the best shape my stomach was flat and my waist proportionately small, when I gained weight, I gained everywhere, including my formerly flat stomach and small waist. What all that means is I know from personal experience that the body type she claims to have does not occur in nature. That a*s full of fillers was bought and paid for, and is utterly unnatural. She, and all the others like her, are circus sideshow freaks, caricatures, cartoon characters. Whereas certain enhancements, done with restraint and a goal of looking natural, can make a person feel better about themselves, there are always those who take them to a ludicrous extreme, like this woman. How her plastic surgeon or aesthetician allowed it to go on too long is also beyond me. Any person who provides such enhancements and does not put the brakes on when a patient/client starts to go too far should have their license revoked permanently. Since people cannot do such surgery/treatments on themselves, results like this are the fault of at least two people, if not more.

    Let her come to Europe and her butt and thighs would be Disneyland/world by their own. She chooses to go extreme and now she gets extrem reaction. Regarding her IG she shouldn't complain, cause her whole content is about her massive butt. So if even the people of the USA find her to be a spectacle then she really should avoid other continents. Or when visiting them, not to complain how people react to her pumped-up, mega-artificial look 🤗

    If her top were as big as her bottom, *that* would be natural. Her top is about half the size of her bottom, so - not natural. She does this all the time - whines + complains cuz people stare at her, take pix + vids + claims she's "natural."

    She's had to have had a Brazilian Butt Lift. Fat doesn't stay that upright; it causes the skin and flesh to droop in rolls and chunks when there's that much of it. I've looked at her IG and seen her in bikinis/etc. and I think some of her fat does look "natural" (as in, she IS overweight somewhat and it's not ALL implants) but I personally think she may have gotten liposuction on her upper body (and breast implants/a breast lift) in order to create the drastic dichotomy between her upper and lower body.

    Why would she be upset about this the half shirt and leggings are a way to get lots of attention. Having a TikTok account probably doesn’t help you not getting attention. Stop asking for attention and you might not receive attention.

    Ya'll, Gracie Bon has a disease called lipedema. It's not plastic surgery. She also wasn't upset about people staring, she found it amusing. Ya'll want to be SO quick with the judgements that you couldn't click her profile and educate yourselves like I did. You should be embarrassed.

    She does NOT have lipedema, below is the characterisitcs of it. Saying she does or if she says she does is very insensitive & cruel to the people who suffer from it. she does not have cellulite, bruising, skin changes, or marbleing. If she did, the stage she would be at, the legs would appear very lumpy. I dont think lipedema affects the buttocks - just arms and legs that is NOT lipedema - below are the characteristics of it. lipoedema-...mptoms.jpg lipoedema-visible-symptoms.jpg

    1 - don't stare at people you deem "disfigured" in any way. It's inpolite -> if someone does that to themselves to get famous / attention / stares, they better expect startes -> STARES! It doesn't mean to get your f*****g phones out. You're not David Attenborough discovering a new species of birds. Stop acting like c***s.

    1: It is very hard not to stare for a second or two, that is a normal reaction. As a weighbridge operator, a driver came up to the window and he had an horrific scar that had removed his nose. I had to blink a couple of times before I could focus on his eyes. 2: She is not disfigured, she has had a BBL, she can deny it all she likes, but that's a BBL and don't attention seek if you don't want attention.

    California it is illegal to film someone without their consent and a further crime to distribute/post it. If you think someone looks like a freak or not, I hope she takes legal action against them.

    Lifelong Californian here. You are incorrect. In a place like Disneyland, people have NO "reasonable expectation of privacy". It is a public place. People can film other people in public without their consent. People can also post publicly recorded videos as long as you aren't using it as an ad or using it to harm, defame, or harass the person. Filming someone walking around is none of those things. Also, it is very interesting that you're crying out for Gracie Bon to "take legal action" against the people who filmed her, while you are conveniently overlooking the fact that she herself admits to filming those people in "retaliation" for filming her in the first place. If you were correct, they could take legal action against her as well for filming them. But as it is, Disneyland is accessible to the public and thus constitutes a public place where people have no reasonable expectation of privacy, thus people can legally record you there and post the video on every social media site.
