“By not feeding into it, you kind of make them even more mad. They’re just dying for you to give them a reaction … and I’m not going to do that,” Gerard, 30, continued.

“At the end of the day, those people, they’ve got something going on in their lives that has nothing to do with me. And I feel kind of bad that they’re sitting there on the internet bullying. So not cool.”

Gerard, who started blogging in 2012 when she was 19 years old, admitted her coping mechanism had led her to often skip out on eating and sleeping.

The food prodigy noticed the hostile attention toward her increasing when she became “more forward-facing” on her Instagram, which boasts a following of 5.5 million.

“I think because I’m in food and I’m a very tiny person, I get a lot of negative comments about my weight and all these things,” she said on the “Mimi” podcast in July 2023. “And it’s just like, you don’t know me. You don’t know how I live my life.”
