Karina reacted to the negative comments by posting a viral Instagram clip in which she called out keyboard warriors.
Karina attached a screenshot of the vile reply she received which said: “You actually suck. I’m embarrassed for you.
“No one wants to see fat chicks dancing poorly to the Macarena. Go for a jog and get a thigh gap you whale.”

Karina continued: “I posted this light hearted silly ‘dance’ vid (as I do) on my story last week and the amount of burner comments was ridiculous”.
“If you want to call someone names and make public opinions on their body at least have the balls to show your true profile.
“This is the absolute lowest form of bullying on the internet.”
“I see them EVERYWHERE. And I see them heavily impacting people’s mental health. It’s such a shame we can actually let these ghosts inside our minds…
“Stay strong. Shake it off. And have fun with it.”
Many people quickly ran to the comments section to tell Karina how she has helped them feel more confident and less concerned about what others think.
One person said: “This is awesome! You are awesome! Never stop- you give me and so many others so much motivation.”
Another user commented: “I love you! I love your body! I love your confidence! Please never change.”
And a third person added: “Get it girl! I wish I had your energy! Have fun! Life is too short not to have fun.”
