Why she might be annoying:

    Being bullied in school on account of color and weight is nothing new.
    Societal pressure has little to do with the development of eating disorders.
    On the other hand, she claimed 70 percent hearing in the left ear and only half in the right, attributed to operations for congenital hearing loss.
    If there are any bees around, she’ll go running in the opposite direction — even if she has to get hit by a car to do it!
    You may have seen her on the cover for the September 2019 issue of British Vogue ‘Forces for Change’ (with guest editor… Meghan Markle).
    She is a stalwart of the climate change movement.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Like a few other aspiring actors, she taught English as a second language.
    As a teenager, she was in a car crash that broke her back and decommissioned her for a year and a half.
    While awaiting a biopsy report for a lump in her breast, she put moving to Los Angeles at the top of her bucket list. (It happened six weeks after the operation.)
    She had no formal acting experience and planned to go into screenwriting instead.
    Her criticism of diet aids and appetite suppressants (both of which Cardi B is a promoter) is based on a lack of data about side effects or ingredient description.
    Don’t even think about airbrushing or retouching her snapshots!
