Karina Irby has slammed internet trolls who have made derogatory comments about her online persona.
The body positive influencer, 34, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share a long rant about ‘judgement’ online.
Over a picture of herself next to a body of water, Karina revealed she ‘stumbled across this really s****y, judgemental comment chain about me last night.’
The owner of popular swimwear brand Moana Bikini, who often produces content in skimpy bikinis and underwear, complained about backlash she gets online.
‘The internet sucks. People suck. I know I’ve let people down in the past, but I’m always trying my best, both for myself and other people,’ she wrote.
The Gold Coast-based influencer went on to claim that ‘putting your life online’ is one of the hardest things she’s ever done.
Posting online, Karina suggested, is not great for her health, but she still persists.
‘The constant criticism, attacking, and bullying I’ve endured here is actually heartbreaking.’

Karina ended her long rant to her 1.1million followers with a message of mindfulness and consideration.
‘People need to practice being more open-minded. If someone acts a certain way or does something you don’t agree with, think about WHY they did it.
‘Be kind. You never know what someone’s been through or is going through,’ the bikini model concluded.
It comes as the body positive influencer shared a shocking collage of the hateful messages she had received over her decision not to have children.
In June, Karina posted a photo of her and her husband Ryan having fun on the beach.
The model, who frequently talks about loving her childfree lifestyle with her 1.1million followers, filled her image with screenshots of some of the hurtful comments she had received from haters.
‘When you’re old there is nobody that will take care of you like your children. That is my worst nightmare, to spend my last years alone and die,’ one person wrote.
‘Can’t imagine leaving nothing behind,’ a second person added, as a third user chipped in: ‘This goes against everything our species has fought for.’

Other comments were equally nasty, with one person writing: ‘On behalf of all of humanity, thank you for not bringing more weirdos into this world.’
Karina did not mince words when she revealed what she thought about the comments.
‘We don’t owe the human population anything,’ she said.
‘Our choice is not following a ‘trend’. The hate and threats I’ve received have blown my mind.
Karina is best known for her body positivity posts and the empire she has built around selling cheeky bikinis.
In 2011, she founded her swimwear label Moana Bikini, which has gone on to become a household name for women across Australia.
