Israeli actress, entrepreneur, and social media influencer Kim Or Azulai is facing online criticism after sharing her personal experiences and views on Instagram. During a Q&A session, Azulai responded to a follower's question about stretch marks post-pregnancy by stating, "Thank God I don't have them! But it's also body structure and genetics." This comment sparked a debate, with one follower criticizing her for saying "Thank God" about stretch marks, calling them a natural occurrence that can cause shame for some women.
Azulai responded assertively, posting a pregnancy photo and stating, "Yes, thank God! I'm not here to be fake and lie. Nobody wants stretch marks, and yes, if I had them, I would have accepted them with love and understood they are a part of it." She further criticized the online culture that expects individuals to apologize for their positive experiences out of fear of upsetting others, calling it a "tiring culture."
This incident follows a similar online confrontation in October, when Azulai shared her positive experience with public breastfeeding in a store. She expressed her surprise and comfort at being able to nurse easily in public, but received a critical comment from a follower. Azulai defended her right to share her personal successes and joys, stating she would mention them repeatedly because they were not easily achieved and she wanted to celebrate them.
Azulai has consistently shown a willingness to express her opinions openly and without apology, refusing to diminish her experiences or views to appease online critics.
