- Although Jessy Mendiola was called a “Pata Queen” as an insult, she received it as a compliment.
- She still considers herself as one even when she lost a ton of weight.
FHM Magazine named Jessy Mendiola as the Sexiest Woman Alive in 2016. However, she received negative criticisms and experienced body-shaming because of her thighs. Although she was called “Pata Queen” as an insult, Jessy received it as a compliment and still considers herself as one.
Jessy recently posted a photo of herself in the outfit and make-up she wore in an ASAP dance production.
“Katchi dance prod ❤ ❤ thank you @asapofficial ❤ ❤ “
A netizen exclaimed how beautiful and sexy she now looks.
“Ang ganda mo! And hindi ka naman talaga pata like sinasabi ng mga bashers! Kaloka!”
Jessy also responded that she will always be a “pata girl.” Although she lost weight, she will remain the same girl.
“pata girl naman talaga ako. 🙂 just lost a little weight, but i’m still the same girl. Pata Queen forevs.”
In March 2018, Jessy admitted the horrific insults she received when she won the sexiest woman. She also shared how she lost confidence because of bashers calling her “pata, baboy, taba, etc.” They told her she didn’t deserve to win as she was bigger than the other girls.
Jessy also revealed that she got depressed and started to turn down roles which affected her work. Although she lost a ton of weight, she still sees herself as a “pata girl” or a “pata queen.”
She commended all the “pata girls” out there. She also encouraged everyone to love their body and it will love them back.
