Remi Bader: Don’t Call Me Body Positive ...

Alex Cooper
About this episode

Father Cooper sits down with model and content creator, @remibader. Remi got her start on TikTok posting realistic clothing hauls and her platform has since expanded beyond fashion. Remi opens up and reflects on discrimination she’s faced since launching her career; for the first time, she tells the story of what actually went down this summer at a Hampton’s ranch where she was publicly humiliated and forced to leave due to her weight. Remi opens up about how she really feels towards the ‘influencers’ who decided participating in a low rent influencer horsey ride was more important than siding with their friend. Remi discusses her decision to seek outpatient treatment for her eating disorder and her ongoing journey to self-acceptance. Over wine, Remi dishes on her best dating stories and shares how one night of sex led to thousands of dollars in water damage. Trigger warning: This episode discusses adult subject matters, including descriptions of eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Listener discretion is advised. Text or call the NEDA helpline for support, resources, and treatment options for yourself or a loved one who is struggling with an eating disorder at 800.931.2237 and online at www.nationaleatingdisorders.org
