Model Mara Lafontan posted a three-part video on her TikTok account on Thursday in which she reflects on the strong reactions to a photo of her.
A down is indeed visible on its belly.
The snapshot taken for an advertising campaign for the brand of Passionata swimwear has earned the French hate messages and online harassment, said the interested party on the social network.

The 27-year-old called them "mean comments about [her] body hair" and chose to read them out loud.
“There is nothing beautiful”, “Even after a pregnancy, my belly is prettier”, or even “But this is really disgusting”, for example, wrote Internet users under the photo published on Facebook.
Another wondered if the photo was not retouched "just to make the buzz".

“It is possible to have hair there.
It's not serious.
[…] It's just my body, ”retorted the model.
For all practical purposes, Mara Lafontan explained in her video that she had warned Passionata before the shooting of the presence of this down and her desire to keep it.
She said she was teased for her profuse body hair when she was a teenager, she shaved a lot but now chose to do it only when she wanted to.
“Bodies in all their diversity”
The model also wondered why only female hair was considered dirty by some.
Passionata has for its part publicly supported its model having also worked with Dior and Longchamp, indicates The Huffington Post.
“We are committed to celebrating women as they are, to representing all bodies in all their diversity.
Through our campaigns, we honor everyone's choices, without distinction,” commented the brand under the photo that has caused so much talk.
