Too many people think models are perfect humans with no flaws, but a beautiful Instagram model is busting that stereotype and people are loving her for it. Her name is Talya Reynolds and she is crossed-eyed.
Reynolds got the nickname Mrs. Betty Wap after rapper Fetty Wap, who lost an eye as a baby. She says she has been teased and bullied and learned a lot from those experiences.
The Philadelphia based makeup artist recently did a #WomanCrushWednesday where she recognized herself, writing, "I'm crosseyed and I love it."
She added, "I have my days where it gets me down and I see a bunch of beautiful women who have perfect eyes, and sometimes I question god why me? I ask him maybe one day I'll wake up and be normal. But he told me daughter I made you this way because I believe you are stronger and you have much more to offer, more than a pretty face."
The post got over 70,000 likes and hundreds of comments in support of Talya.
Her message to followers is to "love yourself and show love to others" because "you never know what someone is going through."
