Paula Pareto Shares Instagram Post Confronting Body-Shaming and Celebrating Her 'Tribe'

The Olympic judo champion framed the attacks as impersonal to emphasize her focus on a supportive community.

Overview

  • Pareto compiled screenshots of both supportive notes and hurtful comments in a single Instagram post published this week.
  • She wrote that she stays with her “tribe,” views insults as not personal, and stressed that words matter less than one’s internal process.
  • The post included private messages from followers who said her training videos motivated them to exercise and care for their health.
  • Coverage reported roughly 36,000 likes and strong public backing, including praise from actor Gastón Dalmau.
  • A gold medalist in 2016 and bronze medalist in 2008, Pareto now mixes medical and restaurant work with sharing at-home fitness routines.
