Paulina Porizkova, a former supermodel, found herself at the center of controversy after posting some bikini photos on social media.

With some even going so far as to call her a “desperate grandma.” In response, Porizkova offered a powerful message about body positivity and self-love.
Her career started at a young age.

At the age of 57, Porizkova has defied societal norms by continuing to model and post pictures of herself on social media in bikinis. She has been a vocal critic of ageist attitudes, saying, “I am a 57-year-old woman, and it seems to mean, in society, when you go into your middle age, you sort of lose your license to be able to show up in bikinis too.” Porizkova has also spoken out about the negative comments she has received, like that she is “a desperate grandma” or “too old to be doing t

Porizkova was married to Ric Ocasek, the late frontman of the iconic rock band The Cars, for 28 years. In an interview, Porizkova revealed that their relationship had its ups and downs and that they had been estranged for several months before his passing in 2019. She spoke candidly about the challenges they faced, saying, “I just noticed that we shared less and less, and we communicated less, and then he sort of stopped desiring me.”
Porizkova also shared that she had doubts about her own aging, saying, “Since I was hitting my late 40s and early 50s, I think I figured, maybe he doesn’t fancy me because I’m getting older.” Despite these difficulties, she still emphasized the love and connection that they shared, and has continued to honor Ocasek’s memory since his passing.
Porizkova wants women to celebrate aging.
Now she has become a vocal advocate for celebrating aging and embracing the natural process of getting older. She has spoken out about her decision to not undergo plastic surgery or cosmetic enhancements, saying, “My desire is to be an unaltered older woman.”

Porizkova has also expressed appreciation for the physical signs of aging, saying, “What I like about my face now at 57, it’s that it’s like a really good novel of the history of my life, like it’s all written into my face.”

In addition to her personal choices, Porizkova has also emphasized the importance of changing society’s attitudes toward aging. She has called for more women to embrace their age and showcase their accomplishments, saying, “We have to make older cool, I’m really trying, but we need more women to sort of embrace age and keep trumpeting it out there, going ’look at what I’m doing at my age.’”
Through her own example and advocacy work, Porizkova has become a powerful voice in the movement to redefine aging and promote self-love at any age.

SHE STILL HAS A LITTLE TREAD ON THE TIRES.
every single week, yahoo news runs a free personals ad for paulina, seeking a millionaire to marry her, yet she still can’t find one. maybe she should lower her standards a bit.
An incredibly beautiful woman and smarter than those that are critical. While her relationship may have deteriorated, that is not the result of her aging, but rather his ignorance and failure to appreciate the value of a smart gal! I had that with my wife prior to her passing and I would not trade those years for anything at all!
The people who were nasty to this beautiful woman are just jealous! They are probably fat cows who believe fat is beautiful which it is now. Its s danger to your health. This woman has tooken care of herself and you just can’t stand it. Take a good look in the mirror. You better believe people are going to call you names because you have nothing else to do with your miserable life. Grow up.
no one is being nasty to her. she is very attractive for her age, but she’s demanding something she can never have again.
she is not going to find a millionaire to marry her at 57. rich men have too many options. a rich man can easily find a younger woman.
it may not be fair, but that’s just how it is.
she had her time in the spotlight. she had a rich and famous husband, and she even had a family with him.
no matter how many articles the press runs about her, calling her “stunning and brave” for her body positivity, there will never be a crowd of rich men lining up to ask for her hand in marriage. it just won’t happen.
she has been doing this for the last three and a half years — talking to anyone who will listen, and anyone who will write articles for her or publish pictures of her, in a desperate attempt to land a rich man, and complaining CONSTANTLY because rich men select younger and more fertile women.
sorry, but that’s just not how the world works.
if she really wants a man, she’ll have to lower her standards.
Always thought you are a gorgeous woman and you still are.
If you’ve got it, rock it! Still look pretty good to me.
I bet that everyone who made them ridiculous comments, are over-weight and or Jealous.
I THINK YOU LOOK GREAT SUPER KEEP POSTING I WILL KEEP WATCHING
Sc**w the naysayers. You look fabulous!!!!!
COUPLE OF CHEESEBURGERS COULD HELP HER LOOK AS SHE IS VERY SCRAWNY.
