If you’ve got it, flaunt it proudly.

Plus-sized model Karina Irby loves to show off her cellulite and doesn’t care for the trolls who blast her body.

The swimsuit catwalk queen — who boasts over one million followers on Instagram — got candid in her recent post about why she adores her body marks.

Alongside a snapshot of the blonde soaking up some sun in Bora Bora in a blue bikini, she captioned her post: “Cellulite Love.”

“If I listened to people hating on my body and my cellulite, I wouldn’t be here in Bora Bora, shooting a huge campaign for my swimwear brand,” she began.

The Australian native is the CEO of the swimwear line Moana Bikini.

@karinairby/Instagram — Irby is the founder of her own swimsuit line and had been shooting a campaign in Bora Bora in the last few days.

“It blows my mind. If 21-year-old Karina could see this, she would be so proud. NEVER let your cellulite hold you back from living your best life,” Irby added.

The influencer urged her followers to “NEVER let your cellulite hold you back from an opportunity.”

“Our bodies are unique vessels that allow us to live the life we want. Please never hold back,” she wrote.

Her followers applauded her for her honesty and fearlessness.

“I needed to see and hear this right now — thank you for living your truth and for being your authentic self,” one fan commented.

Irby proudly showcases her physique all over Instagram.

The influencer has no shame posting booty an body snaps on social media.

“Thank you! I needed this pic today. Felt so insecure about my body lately,” a user chimed in.

Another said: “I needed to see this so badly and I cannot thank you enough for your vulnerability. So much love for you!”

Across her social media feed, Irby often showcases her curves as well as her backside in booty-baring swimwear.

Irby has often been shamed for posting sexy photos, sharing a post last year that highlighted many of the mean and hateful comments she had received in the past.

Some of the comments that she described included ones that called her “disgusting,” “a pig” and “repulsive.”

“People tell me to kill myself. Call me names. Discourage my work. Call out my skin conditions,” Irby wrote in her caption.

“I LOVE social media, and I LOVE putting myself out there to help others feel less alone, make someone smile and distract people from their busy lives. But I don’t love how people can treat one another on here. Hiding behind their screens. What gross and disgusting behavior.”
