Rihanna recently released a new line of lingerie which was all inclusive to different body types, including plus sized and maternity. Within the past year and a half, the Grammy award winning artist and entrepreneur has released Fenty Beauty, her own lingerie line, multiple fragrances, and has even started a foundation that helps underprivileged girls in Malawi . There is also rumored to be a furniture in the works.
However, Rihanna is not the topic of this article. One of the models she chose for her pregnancy lingerie walk has gotten a lot of attention. Simone Thompson, better known as Slick Woods in the modeling world, has gotten a lot of attention recently.
This isn't the first time Slick Woods has been credited for pushing the constructs of the modeling industry. In 2016, Woods was praised for walking the New York Fashion week that year as well, but much attention was thrown at her shaved head.
This year, after walking in the New York Fashion Week yet again, she has garnered yet another wave of attention after it was discovered she actually went into labor while walking and modeling for the Savage x Rihanna show.
Sadly, some people have used Twitter to express their negative comments about her appearance. Many people on have commented calling the model "ugly'.
However, many people have clapped back to the crude commentators, including fellow model Justine Biticon.

Other members of the Twitter-verse have spoken out, as well.
While there may have been multiple people attempting to attack Woods for her unconventional looks, we have had enough people put a halt on the negativity and have been able to turn it around and circulate her name even more, with a positive connotation.
Woods herself, right after giving birth, took to Twitter to clap-back at the haters that were retweeting her photos with hurtful comments, trying to convince others of their close-minded attitudes. The new mom has not made any other comments on the situation through that platform.
Congratulations to you, Slick Woods and your baby boy Sahpir.
