Pretty Little Liars Star Sasha Pieterse Shuts Down Body Shamers in Candid Letter

Sasha Pieterse, who continues to kick serious ass on Pretty Little Liars as Ali, has taken to her social media accounts to send a message for her haters. The letter addresses her recent weight fluctuations as a result of her hormonal imbalance,
something she revealed on Instagram last year. As Sasha notes, despite her honesty and point to mention that "I am and will always be 'under construction'" with her weight, the name calling and ridiculing continues.
A lot of people responded well, and there were many people in the industry that supported what I had to say. That didn't meant that it just disappeared and people stopped talking about it, in fact it made people talk about it more. Not that I was surprised, but it disturbed me that so many females were so quick to tear me down on a subject that we all struggle with.

At this point, Sasha says that she's learned to love herself the way she is right now. "That doesn't mean I don't want to improve myself, it means that I am making a point to love myself at every stage and chapter of my life. I know I will get to where I want to be, and I know that I will do it in a healthy way."

In June 2015, Sasha revealed that she had been battling a "bad hormone imbalance that has thrown my body completely out of whack." She wrote a similar message about self-love : "YOU and YOUR health are what matters, not anyone else's opinions and assumptions of you. Getting healthy isn't just about working out and eating right (however extremely important) it's also about surrounding yourself with those who care about you and want to see you succeed and become the best you can be."
