Canadian tennis ace Eugenie Bouchard recently got slammed for commenting about her body in a social media post.

Bouchard, 25, recently Instagrammed a picture in her tennis gear and captioned it, "Why do my arms stay mad skinny but my stomach gets so fat?"

"What kind of role model are you supposed to be for not just women, but young women? [sic]," the follower said.
