Hilaria Baldwin has had quite a week. The yoga pose extraordinaire, author, podcast host, and mother of five was first embroiled in a body-shaming debate after comedian Amy Schumer reposted a photo of her with her newborn son, Edu, basically poking fun at how good she looked after recently giving birth. Amy deleted the post and apologized, Hilaria made a video demanding body inclusivity for hot people, and all was seemingly well.
