In November, Vonntold PEOPLEthat she feels like she’s “finally in a really confident and happy place” after longtime struggles with her body image.
“The pandemic taught me to love myself,” she said. “It also taught me that we need to love each other. There’s so much hate in the world, and we need to support each other. Who cares if you have cellulite or you have wrinkles? You don’t need hair extensions or Botox or injections, just be yourself. With my dogs, they love me no matter what, and that’s how we should treat other humans. That’s just how I see it.”

Vonn added that she feels it’s important to speak out against body shaming.
“I don’t have tolerance for that kind of stuff anymore,” she shared. “Body image has always been a thing for me, but over the last seven, eight years, I’ve developed thicker skin. I couldn’t block [the haters] out entirely until I loved myself. Now I’m able to stand up for myself and just be unapologetically me.”
