Ricki Lake, at 54, recently shared a nude selfie on Instagram, seated in an outdoor tub surrounded by redwood trees.
In her caption, Lake expressed gratitude for reaching a point of complete self-acceptance and self-love at her age. She highlighted that these are the best days of her life and emphasized the importance of self-love.
Lake began her journey toward self-love in 2019, revealing it publicly in 2022 with a video of herself shaving her head due to androgenetic alopecia, a condition causing hair loss.
In the video’s description, she acknowledged her 30-year struggle with the condition and shared her path to peace, liberation, self-love, and self-acceptance.
While some users found the picture inappropriate, Lake did not respond to comments but seemed unfazed by any negativity. Her message focuses on embracing oneself and finding peace and acceptance, emphasizing that life is too short to be consumed by concerns beyond our control. The post encourages others to appreciate their uniqueness and not be bound by societal expectations.
Lake’s decision to share her journey to self-love and body acceptance aligns with the broader movement of promoting body positivity and embracing one’s authentic self. The responses to her post highlight the ongoing discourse around body image and societal norms.
