A 322-pound influencer has been slammed by vicious trolls who called her dreams ‘unrealistic’ after she put on a Hooters uniform in an attempt to convince the popular restaurant chain to hire plus-size women.
Olivia Messina, from Toronto, Canada, revealed she ‘always wanted to be a waitress at Hooters,’ while sharing a video of herself trying on the well-known orange and white ensemble that employees at the eatery always wear to TikTok.
In the clip, which was originally posted in June 2022 but is still making waves on the app, Olivia flaunted her figure in the tiny shorts and crop top – as she danced to the song Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard.
‘Do you want fries with that?’ she captioned the post, which has now been viewed more than 468,000 times.

While Olivia seemed as confident as ever in the posts, they were quickly flooded with nasty comments from unkind users who told her ‘forget the dream.’
‘I’m not even hungry no more bruh,’ read another mean comment.
‘Nah, don’t normalize bad health,’ said someone else, while a third person wrote, ‘Go eat a salad or something, put the wings down. You ain’t gonna make it to 50 years old the way you’re going.’
‘I’d tip you just to put clothes on,’ added another troll.
‘Not a single soul wants to see your [fat] while trying to eat wings. They have positions for you at hooters though, it’s called the kitchen. Or the stock yard,’ commented a different user.
‘Keep away from my food,’ wrote someone else, while another person added, ‘I always wanted to be an astronaut and go to the moon. Looks like we both have unrealistic goals lol.’

Hooters is well known for its very skimpy uniforms and sexy employees. And while one Hooters manager from Pelham, Alabama, who didn’t reveal their name, stated on its Indeed page that ‘all body types are welcome’ to work there, they added that employees ‘must meet the image they are trying to put forward.’
‘Hooter Girls must fit the uniform because we are an image based company,’ they explained.

Olivia, who previously worked as a beauty consultant, has also said that her physique is what earned her such a big following, and that losing weight could potentially harm her career as an influencer.
She called her ‘size her brand,’ and explained that while she does exercise sometimes, she doesn’t want to devote her life to getting thin because it will just make her ‘unhappy.’
In an interview with Fabulous magazine last year, she revealed: ‘I refuse to work out daily like the bullies tell me I should.
‘If I did, I’d end up like some people who lose weight and are unhappy with their bodies and lives when I’d much rather be fat and fabulous.
‘I’d lose my social media followers and income and I’d be miserable. By taking on my trolls and flaunting my size, I am showing them they could do their worst.
‘I refuse to comply with their view of how my body should look and I am literally shaking my big beautiful woman’s body in their faces.’
Olivia also charges $15 a month on her Patreon site, where she shares exclusive content.
