An Instagram model says her body is "too dangerous" for social media as people constantly troll her for being "naturally perfect".

Slovakian influencer Veronika Rajek, 26, claimed her toned body had made her a victim of cancel culture and "jealous" trolls constantly "body shame" her for her looks.

The model said she uses her platform to spread body positivity, but people continually try to "take her down" because they assume she's "privileged".

"My body is considered a danger on social media, and I am constantly being cancelled by trolls for doing absolutely nothing but sharing photos of my body," Rajek told NudePR.com.

"These days, you see a lot of overweight or even obese women online, talking about body positivity, but when a beautiful, tall woman wants to be positive in her own skin, people want to attack me and call me privileged."

The 26-year-old, who has over two million followers on Instagram, continued by claiming that some trolls report her account because they're "offended by my slim look". She said she's losing money and work because of this.

Rajek added she doesn't share "anything X-rated or controversial" and instead just wants to "show off myself and my body" in an attempt to promote "body positivity".

"I don't understand why my version of body positivity is wrong… I'm a model; aren't models supposed to be sexy?"

The body positivity movement promotes acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities. Proponents focus less on a person's physical appearance and more on the overall health of the human body.

But many social media users pointed out that those with a "perfect body" don't need more representation, with many mocking Rajek's apparent "struggle".

"You are beautiful, not 'perfect' or 'dangerous', but beautiful. Your attitude, however, is awful," one person wrote.

"She is close to perfect but it is the bragging and attention seeking which is always the problem," another commented.

However, Rajek was defiant and claimed being "too beautiful" has forced her to prove her looks aren't fake. She once paid £75 (NZ$151) for a breast exam to show her followers that her 36D cups are real, the Daily Mail reported.

She added that she's no stranger to being bullied. 

"I think that people want to punish me for my success, but everything about me is natural."
