Nour Arida, the Lebanese-American social media star, entrepreneur and founder of Sorbé Skin, is once again using her platform to advocate for women. A long-time voice for women’s rights and bodies, she reminds us of what should already be common sense: that women’s bodies are not up for discussion.
In a recent Instagram post, Nour addressed the endless commentary women face online, commentary she herself is no stranger to. She highlights, “Imagine having all the internet, and yet choosing to comment on women’s bodies.”
Nour followed with an even clearer message: “My body is not the problem. Your obsession with it is.”
In the carousel post she shared with her 10.9 million followers, Nour showcased a handful of comments – in both English and Arabic – she receives poking fun at her appearance, body, age and more, which no doubt only scratches the surface.
In a digital culture where opinions are often shared freely and without consequence, Nour’s words call out the entitlement that still surrounds women’s appearances, even in 2025.
It’s a reminder that comes at the right time. Landing just as we approach 2026, the post sets a clear boundary, one we should all carry into the New Year. As conversations around self-image, self-love and confidence continue to grow, alongside the continuous growth of social media usage, the need to protect these values is as relevant as ever.
Nour’s message enforces the simple truth that words carry weight, and comments on women’s bodies are neither helpful, harmless, nor acceptable.
