Influencer mum-of-4 slammed for 'embarrassing' style choices aged 37 insists she won't stop wearing beloved belly tops
BELLY UP Influencer mum-of-4 slammed for 'embarrassing' style choices aged 37 insists she won't stop wearing beloved belly tops Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN INFLUENCER mum who's regularly trolled over her wardrobe choices has insisted she won't stop wearing her beloved belly tops. Anna Saccone Joly regularly shares videos and pictures of herself and her family - husband Jonathan and their four kids - on her social media pages. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Anna Saccone Joly has been slammed online for wearing crop tops at "nearly 40" Credit: TikTok/@annasaccone 2 Her wardrobe has changed dramatically since her mummy makeover in August 2023 Credit: TikTok/@annasaccone But she's found herself targeted over her wardrobe, which has included a tonne of crop tops since she had a "mummy makeover", including a tummy tuck, in August 2023. Lots of people in the comments on Anna's videos have insisted she's too old, at 37, to be wearing the stomach-baring ensembles. "The belly tops are embarrassing at nearly 40," one person insisted. "Give your children's clothes back to them!" another added. "If you don't like others comments & opinions…" a third commented. "Stop flaunting it over social media then - go be a mother to your kids instead of trying to be one of them!!!" However, YouTuber and influencer Anna hit back at the comments as she lip-synced along to Billy Joel's My Life, pretending to sing: "I don't care what you say anymore this is my life. "Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone!" "I guess I didn't realise we were meant to dress like old maids in our late 30s," she added in the caption. And others agreed with her in the comments section of the TikTok, encouraging Anna to wear exactly what she wants. Woman Undergoes 5 Life-Changing Surgeries "You can never be too old to wear a belly top," one wrote in the comments. "Agree!" Anna replied. "So pretty and even with surgery you should be able to show off you new look," another added. "I would wear one in winter if I was you!" a third said. "We spend our entire young lives being judged for what we wear and look like," someone else commented. "Getting to a point where you are comfortable and confident in a style that works for you is the goal. How to blast belly fat WITHOUT going to the gym or dieting Chew your food This mindfulness trick is used to focus your brain on the food you are eating - how it tastes and feels - rather than scoffing it in a hurry. If the brain does not register that you have eaten, you'll soon crave more food. Avocado a day Eating avocado every day can fight visceral fat in women, which collects around the organs in the stomach and can lead to diabetes, heart attack, and some cancers, according to a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign study of 105 people. Avoid fizzy drinks Losing belly 'fat' may just be a case of preventing bloating, which can be onset by fizzy soft drinks. Instead, keep hydrated with water. Reduce alcohol Alcohol does no favours at all for our health or figures. It is 'empty calories', meaning it contributes to your calorie intake without giving any nutritional benefit. Hangovers can also lead you to eat more fatty foods, while putting you off exercising. Sleep more Various studies have shown that if you're not sleeping well, it can cause weight gain. People are more likely to crave junk food when they are sleep deprived because, not only are they in need of an energy boost, but their appetite hormones are all over the place. Reduce stress Stress causes an imbalance of hormones, particularly cortisol. This hormone has been linked with obesity and excess belly fat. Find ways to reduce your stress to avoid the so-called 'stress belly'. "I recently lost some weight and now wear tops similar to this. "I'm 37 and have spent literally DECADES hating my body - I freaking earned the right to wear whatever the hell I want." "You look great, it's flattering on you," another said. "Clothing doesn't have specific ages. Not sure why anyone cares lol!" "I'm 36 and wear whatever I like!" someone else wrote. "I WILL NOT LIVE MY LIFE IN THE OPINION OF OTHERS!! All the haters are just JEALOUS!!! PERIOD." "If I looked as good as you, I'd be rocking that outfit everyday," another commented. "You do you hun!"

Inside Dubai's dark underbelly as models lured to sick 'Porta-Potty' parties
WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. Dubai is known for its glitzy lifestyle that draws hundreds of social media influencers and reality TV stars - but inside, there's a dark secret that has sparked concern for the welfare of women travelling to the popular tourism hotspot Dubai is famed for its gleaming skyscrapers, glamorous shopping malls, and famous influencer lifestyle. But beneath the polished surface of luxury cars and beachside penthouses lies a disturbing and dangerous world - a growing trend of exploitative, degrading events known as "Porta-Potty" parties. These twisted gatherings - reportedly organised by wealthy men - lure young models and influencers with promises of tens of thousands of pounds, luxury gifts, and lavish hotel stays. But behind the glitz lies a horrifying truth, including acts of extreme sexual degradation, physical abuse, and potential legal peril for the women involved. An influencer sparked concern on TikTok after sharing extravagant gifts bought for her by a stranger she met at the gym on Wednesday. Jade, who goes by @outplayedbyjade online, is originally from France but travelled to Dubai as she documented her trip online. In her video, she explained how she had been leaving the gym when workers approached her with a gift from someone she had met on the treadmill. "I didn't think much of it," she explained in the video. A worker handed her a bouquet of flowers and chocolate from the man she had struck up a conversation with. Flattered, she texted the number he had left with the gift to thank him, after which she then received a call from a shop assistant at the luxury jewellery designer store Van Cleef & Arpels. "I'm a very curious girl, so I make my way over to the shop," she explained. "This assistant pulls out a beautiful bracelet and a matching necklace." All together, the gifts were worth around £3,000. And while Jade was over the moon with her gifts, fans were quick to warn the influencer that he was a "professional" and to "be careful" amid reports of men recruiting women for "Porta-Parties" in Dubai. One such victim is Maria Kovalchuk, a 20-year-old Ukrainian adult model, who was reportedly left for dead after attending one of these parties. Maria vanished after telling her mother she'd been invited to stay overnight with two men claiming to be modelling agents. She never made her flight to Thailand. Ten days later, on March 19, she was found dumped at the roadside in Dubai, suffering from a shattered spine, broken limbs, and severe internal injuries. Maria has undergone multiple surgeries, and her family, now at her bedside, are desperate for answers. It's thought she is still recovering from her injuries. Dubai Police confirmed that Maria is receiving medical care, but claimed she 'entered a restricted construction site alone and fell from a height'. A statement many find hard to accept, given the disturbing rumours swirling around her disappearance. Russian lawyer Katya Gordon, who has followed the case closely, bluntly alleged: "Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party. The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year." Gordon and others allege that Maria may have been forced to take part in a sex act involving human faeces - a central theme of these "Porta-Potty" events, where humiliation and abuse are part of the package. These parties reportedly involve women being paid vast sums of money to perform grotesque acts involving bodily fluids, degradation and pain. Viral videos have helped expose this shadowy world, but the abuse is largely hidden by Dubai's shiny reputation and strict censorship laws. And the women involved in these parties could even find themselves prosecuted. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai, has warned that women involved in these parties - even against their will - could face charges of adultery or indecency, especially if married men are present. "Sex outside marriage has been legalised in Dubai, but organisers have exploited this. Women think they're attending a private party - instead, they're thrown into horrific, dangerous situations with real legal risk," Stirling said. With the rise of "Porta-Potty" stories, experts have warned of red flags to watch out for when travelling to Dubai: Beware of unverified agents offering large sums of money for vague modelling work. Never agree to travel alone to private parties or accept all-expenses-paid trips without vetting the hosts. Check in regularly with friends or family, and always share your location. Avoid entering private hotel rooms, villas, or yachts with strangers, especially late at night. Understand the legal risks: Dubai has strict laws, and foreign women can still be charged with public indecency, adultery or prostitution, even if coerced. Maria's mother told Ukrainian media: "She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She's had three operations. She can't speak. We were told she went to a party, but the promoter claims he never saw her. We're terrified of what really happened." If you've been the victim of sexual assault, you can access help and resources via or by calling the national telephone helpline on 0808 802 9999

Woman slams ASOS for 'unfair' policy, says she's being ‘punished' for her size
A plus-size, tall shopper says being banned by ASOS for too many returns has highlighted how unfair fashion can be for those whose bodies don't fit standard sizing. She's now calling for retailers to do better Tskenya-Sarah is a Black, plus-size, tall woman who has been shopping with ASOS for over a decade. Now, she's been handed a lifetime ban from the online clothing platform because she returned too many items. 'I woke up this morning to find out that I have been banned from ASOS for life because I breached their fair use policy as I returned too many items,' says Tskenya-Sarah, a loyal, or rather now former, ASOS customer. Tskenya-Sarah, who goes by @tskenyasarah on TikTok, shared her experience in a video that has resonated with many. She explained why ASOS's 'fair use' policy feels like a 'punishment' for bodies outside eurocentric beauty ideals and condemned the policy for not being 'inclusive.' READ MORE: When Tesco F&F's 25% off summer sale starts and what to buy according to a fashion expert In her video, Tskenya-Sarah said, 'I'm a UK size 18, I'm tall (5ft 9) with a 32-inch inside leg. " This means I can't just pop out to the high street and find clothing that fits. Like many tall, plus-size, or petite people, I have to shop online to find clothing. For many, the ease of online shopping means quickly ordering what you want and returning what doesn't fit. But for Tskenya-Sarah and countless others who don't fit into the Eurocentric beauty standards, it's more complicated. The inconsistency of sizing across brands means they often have to order multiple sizes and lengths just to get one item that fits, even if they are using the sizing guide on ASOS or if they've ordered from the brand before. In one baffling example, Tskenya-Sarah shared how she's previously ordered a dress and found the size 16 is 'much too loose', but the size 18 is 'much too tight.' Despite this, she says she's been a loyal ASOS customer for over 10 years, and this didn't change despite the retailer introducing a policy last year charging customers nearly £4 for returns unless they kept at least £15 worth of clothing or accessories. Tskenya-Sarah said that although she felt the policy wasn't 'right' or 'inclusive,' she kept shopping with the retailer. She added, 'I accepted it because the fashion industry is so exclusive. It felt like a tax we had to pay…' Unfortunately, this 'tax' wasn't the end of it. Three days ago, ASOS banned Tskenya-Sarah's account altogether for 'breaching their fair use policy' due to the number of returns she made. Tskenya-Sarah said: 'To punish individuals for returning clothing is egregious.' Tskenya-Sarah has experienced ordering jeans from ASOS's tall section that still don't fit properly, or a mini dress that ended up looking more like a hat on her tall frame. One of Tskenya-Sarah's followers commented that they experienced something similar with ASOS and took them to court, and after a period of 14 months, they were awarded half the amount owed to them. They claimed: 'This happened to me last year, they also refused to refund me two orders that I returned to them, totalling over £400. I fought and took them to court. I only received half of the money back, even with proof of postage and online tracking to show they received it, I've never been able to shop since.' Another customer wrote: 'OMGOSH same! I got banned/blocked my account. I'm plus size, I have to order multiple sizes. They refused to refund me £500. No access to customer service without an account. The Head Office wouldn't help directly with customer complaints. Thankfully, PayPal stepped in and refunded.' Whilst many would argue that returns aren't sustainable and Tskenya-Sarah addresses this and agrees with this in her video. She encourages the fashion industry to take sizing more seriously so customers don't end up being the victim of charges and penalties simply because they are trying to find something that fits. She added, 'We need a fashion industry that takes sizing seriously. If a website says the jeans have a 29-inch or 34-inch inside leg, then that's what should arrive at your door.' Tskenya-Sarah's story highlights a deeper problem with online fashion retail: many companies haven't fully considered the impact their policies have on marginalised customers. 'I'm going to be writing to ASOS's Diversity and Inclusion team as well as Customer Experience,' she said. 'Not just to challenge the ban on my account, but to ask them to think about the disproportionate impact this policy has on people who live in tall, petite, or plus-size bodies.' Tskenya-Sarah highlighted the reality of many women, and men too, who have to order multiple sizes only to return them. She said, 'For many of us, finding clothes that fit isn't easy.' While many brands have embraced plus-size clothing, it seems there are still 'taxes' being passed on to those who don't conform to the standard body size. While stores on the high street are disappearing, they often don't carry plus-size clothing, which leads many customers to turn to the online shopping space. Tskenya-Sarah says she hasn't been able to reach anyone at ASOS for a refund or to discuss her concerns or her lifetime ban. Speaking to the Mirror Online, she said: 'I really want to express that this is bigger than just my diversity. This is about the people who are disabled or living in areas where the high street is in decline. And it seems that ASOS are not the only retailer doing this! Something definitely has to change.'
