In the entertainment industry, female artists are often expected to bounce back to their pre-pregnancy bodies almost immediately after giving birth. Recent online trolling targeted pop star Rihanna, who has recently welcomed her third child. Following the public scrutiny of Rihanna's body after her latest pregnancy, Bollywood actress Ileana D'Cruz has voiced her outrage against the body shaming that Rihanna faced.

Rihanna, who gave birth to her daughter Rocky in September 2025, was recently spotted in Los Angeles with her son Riot. However, some social media users have criticized her figure, commenting on her not returning to her pre-pregnancy shape. In response to this negativity, Ileana took to Instagram to express her support for Rihanna, highlighting the ridiculousness of such criticism and the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers.

Ileana posted on Instagram, indicating that after dealing with criticism, Rihanna refused to hide her post-pregnancy body, which further angered the trolls. Ileana's reaction serves as a reminder of the harsh realities and double standards faced by women in the public eye, especially new mothers. The support from fellow artists like Ileana emphasizes the need to challenge societal norms regarding body image and to promote a more accepting attitude towards post-pregnancy bodies.
