Body shaming is the absolute shits. Wtf is happening right now? Totally thought we were moving past talking about ppl like this. While the focus is normally on women, I’ve had many men talk to me about body dysmorphia. Piss up a rope.

Enough of the body shaming every person that doesn't fit your mold. f**k off.

Booker's response didn't actually feature the quoted words in the quote tweet, but did at least flesh out some more on their existing working relationship and feature some explaining away of his original discourse-baiting remarks.
