Meryl Davis Calls Out Brands for Using Models Like Bella Hadid � Not Athletes � to Promote Workout Clothes


Will Nyle DiMarco Win Dancing With The Stars?

Bella Hadid was thrilled to post the big news that she landed a deal with Nike on Monday, but not everyone shared her excitement.

Hadids Instagram announcement filled up with comments that shes way too skinny to represent a sports brand, and doesnt even have an athletic body.

And one athlete, Olympic skater Meryl Davis, tweeted her disapproval over using yet another model to promote workout gear.

Davis, who won Dancing with the Stars in 2014, posted side-by-side photos of Hadid in Nike gear, Kylie Jenner in a Puma outfit, and one of Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman in Reebok.

Ill take the one promoted by the athlete please, Davis tweeted, along with a muscle emoji.

Hadid recently admitted that she accidentally lost more weight than she intended, telling PEOPLE that she really didnt mean to.

I want b***s. I want my a*s back, she said. But its not my fault. My weight fluctuates and so does everybodys and I think that if people are gonna judge, thats the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different.

I worked out so hard and everybody is like, Oh, she looks so skinny blah, blah, blah, Hadid said.But I think that if you just stick to something you can really achieve so much.Ive been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day. Its crazy but I think that you know if you set your mind to something I think you can succeed.

Although Reebok celebrated Daviss response on Twitter, Nike and Puma and have not yet responded.
