A woman's comments that an African-American female news reporter in Dallas "looks ridiculous" in her clothes has sparked outrage on social media.
Wednesday morning, a woman on Facebook posted a photo of WFAA Channel 8 News traffic reporter Demetria Obilor wearing a red dress, criticizing the way she looked in her dress. The post has since been taken down.
"She's a 16/18 woman in a size 6 dress and looks ridiculous," the post said. The woman also said she would stop watching the news channel.
Obilor, 26, has been a traffic reporter at the station for two weeks. She was previously a traffic reporter at KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. She said she wasn’t made aware of the post until Friday when someone posted a screenshot of the post on Twitter.
"I'm not a 16/18, but even if I was, for you to try to call out my size like that to hurt me or discriminate against me, I'm not for that," she told NBC News.
Having been in the business almost four years, she said she isn’t hurt by the comments and has thick skin.
"When you get older and you’re in the news people warn you that, 'Hey, you're going to be under a harsh lens. People are going to critique you, people are going to say mean things about you,'" she said.
This isn't the first time Obilor has been attacked over her looks. Over the summer, while a traffic reporter in Las Vegas, she shared a screenshot of an email from a viewer who said her natural hairstyle must be hard to clean and "smell bad."
Obilor isn't alone. Rhonda Lee, a former meteorologist in Louisiana was fired for responding to a viewer who said her natural hairstyle didn't "look good on TV."
Obilor, whose mother is white and father is Nigerian, said some people must accept that we now live in a time where styles and body types once rarely seen in media are now being embraced.
"Black people on TV; there’s nothing wrong with that," she said. "Naturally, curly hair — I don't care if a black woman wants to wear her hair straight or in braids, you don't get to say what's professional and what's not professional based on your white standard of beauty."
Obilor said her news colleagues have been supportive of her. NBC News reached out to WFAA Channel 8 News but has not received a response.

That Cave bytch is very jealous of Demetria's body proportions lmfao....Not surprised tho, anyone who isn't a brain-dead WW caper knows how deep their insecurities actually run ...Where my Wolves at tho?
So a flat butt White woman feels threatened by the femininity of a curvy Black woman?
What a surprise.
What a surprise.
They’re clearly just some salty ass white supremacists. We need to stop taking anything and everything them a$$holes say to heart. fukk their opinion.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
I walk around a little edgy already
It's fukking Texas..what did you expect?
The comments are even more superficial than that. That White woman is just pissed that the Black Woman looks better than her. It is as simple as that. The White chick might try to cloak it under other shyt, but the plain fact of the matter is that she is jealous of the young pretty Black girl that she saw on television and it pissed her off so much that she had to publicly comment on it.
A lot of White supremacy bullshyt is just plain ole jealousy. Look at Trump's fixation on Obama.
That hair email. Lets you know when you see that, its some dikkhead who is in love with lifeless, greasy, and flat paper-thin mop tops exclusive to a few groups.Thats some awful shyt to say about someone.
I was just about to say she hating cause she look better than her
Thats some awful shyt to say about someone.
The irony is that you don't want to be standing down wind of White people when their hair gets wet. Smells like
That is when you know how jealous White people are of Black people.
