Olympic gymnast Suni Lee made waves with her performances on the beam and on the gymnastics floor, and now she's making waves on the runway with the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

But not all of the attention Lee received was positive.

Just like other popular gymnasts, like Simone Biles, Suni Lee is on the shorter side, standing at exactly five feet tall.

This is essentially the perfect height for gymnastics, but in the modeling world, women are expected to stand 5'10" or taller for walking the runway and rocking the latest styles.

When Suni Lee was invited to participate in Victoria's Secret's latest show, she reflected and noticed that she'd never seen someone who looked quite like her walking the runway, which motivated her to give it a try.

For Victoria Secret's Fashion Show, Lee made her debut on the runway in a pink sports bra and underwear set with low-rise dark gray shorts and a lacy pushup bra layered underneath, as well as a signature pink jacket slipped over her arms and sparkling silver high heels.

While Lee looked beautiful and exuded confidence and optimism up on the stage, not everyone was so convinced by her look, specifically because she was noticeably shorter than the rest of the models.

After facing considerable backlash for something she could not change about herself, Lee spoke up on TikTok, demanding that the bullying stop.

Suni Lee's fans were quick to step up and show support for her.

Not only was she being bullied for her height, but she'd also just accomplished yet another task that very few people would accomplish in their lifetime.

Bullying is never okay, but why target something about a person that they can't change?

This bullying probably did come from a place of jealousy—because an Olympic star was invited to the runway and brought her characteristic confidence and exuberance right up on the stage with her. The nerve.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
