Klea Pineda opens up about struggles with body-shamers: 'I lost my self-esteem, self-confidence'

Even with her gorgeous features, hourglass figure and body-positive attitude, Klea Pineda is no stranger to body-shamers on the internet.

The Kapuso actress opened up about her experience with bashers in an interview with GMA Public Affairs' "Dapat Alam Mo."

"Itong nakaraang months, nawala 'yung self-esteem ko, self-confidence ko, nawala 'yun," she said.

"Ang hirap sa totoo lang na makabasa ng ganon nakahanap sila ng butas para hilain pababa 'yung kapwa babae nila, kapwa tao nila," she added. "Bakit hindi na lang tayo maging masaya para sa isa't isa?"

Still, Klea was determined to stick to her positive thinking, so she was able to channel that intensity into working out and improving her well-being.

Klea is now one of GMA-7's most promising young actresses after starring in several Kapuso dramas like "Magkaagaw."

The natural Filipino beauty also likes to spread good vibes with her more than 600,000 followers on Instagram, telling them about her incredible plans to become a pilot and join pageants. —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
