A woman branded the World'sd ugliest woman
has hit back by releasing an anti-bullying
documentary. Lizzie Velasquez who has been
mocked by bullies from around the world,was
a 17-year-old surfing the web, she came across
a video of herself on YouTube that described
her as the 'world's ugliest woman'.
The devastated teenager spent days shutting
herself from the world behind a wall of tears,
thinking her life was over.
But now 25, the inspirational woman has hit
back at the trolls with an anti-bullying
documentary about her life, describing her
battle with Marfan syndrome and
lipodystrophy ,a rare condition which stops her
putting on weight.She said
All we had known all my life was that I
had a syndrome which meant that I
couldn't gain weight.At the time, I thought
everyone looked like me.'I didn't recognise
or tell that they didn't look like me.It was
afternoon. I decided to go look for music
on YouTube - and that's when I found it,'
'I don't even know why I clicked on it but
I did and that's when I lost it.Calling me a
monster or asking why my parents didn't
abort me... how in the world can I forgive
the people who told me to kill myself?'
She fought back by giving a TED Talk in 2013
which ganered over 10 million viewers qand
which she says 'changed everything'.
'This is my purpose. This is what I'm meant
to do for the rest of my life.
'I like to think that I'm not only telling my
story, I'm telling everyone's story.
The Lizzie Velasquez Story' premiers at the
South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin,
Texas, today.
