She told Fox 29.

"People I didn't know were just like, ‘That dress is not for her. She looked like a fat something'it was just really hurtful. I was so confident the day before, and it just changed my view of myself."

"She was just really depressed and sad. She doesn't want to go out the house. She doesn't want to go to school. She doesn't want to go nowhere."

"All those shares were just positive. My twitter, so many messages of people like all over the world, different states, different countries"

"This beautiful. Baby girl slayed prom. She's cute as ever. She is gorgeous. She has her own unique style and shape. We are all God's creatures perfect in his image. Shaming someone not only brings them down but brings yourself down with them. Spread love not discrimination."
