Pregnant Celebrity Big Brother star Ashley James, 35, has opened up about “unwanted attention” she receives when it comes to her body in a new interview with Woman’s Health UK. The former Made in Chelsea star has described how her breasts getting bigger due to her pregnancy has only added to her struggles.
Ashley is preparing to welcome her second child with her boyfriend Tommy Andrews after giving birth to her first baby, a son named Alfie, in January 2021.
The reality star explained how, while she’s thrilled to become a mum for the second time, some of the changes to her body have been quite “overwhelming”.
“Obviously, now I’m going through pregnancy, again, my body’s going through all of these changes, I really have a newfound love and respect for my body,” she said.
“However, if I’m being honest, I do find some of the changes that I’m experiencing quite, I’m going to say overwhelming.
“And the area that I struggle with the most is actually my boobs, because I’ve always had such big boobs, since I was 13…So with that has come lots of unwanted attention, hyper sexualization.”
The star went on to reveal that she was already a 30 Double G when she was just 13 years old and that she was often targeted with “really sexual and pervert comments about my body.”
The star described it as “quite a sharp awakening” at such a young age, and even said that her teachers taught her that her body was “something to be ashamed of” in order to “protect” her.
“Why is it that teachers or parents would say to girls ‘You don’t want to distract boys?’ Why don’t we say to boys, ‘You shouldn’t objectify girls?’” Ashley asked.
“Especially with breastfeeding there is this idea or connotation that your attention seeking or doing it for male attention.
Speaking about how she was body shamed after posing in lingerie, she continued: “Ultimately people can think what they want but a lot of people who judge it are projecting their own insecurities or lack of self worth.
Ashley is probably best known for appearing on Made In Chelsea and for her 2018 stint on Celebrity Big Brother.
