Social media influencer Remi Bader is all over the internet due to a shocking revelation. The plus-size model who is known for giving honest product reviews admitted to having gone through surgery for weight loss in 2023. While she is hitting back at the backlash she is receiving for opting for a surgical weight loss, many are also going back looking for more details about her ex-boyfriend Keyveat Postell.
Bader made her relationship with Postell official in 2022 via Instagram. She shared a monochrome photo with her then-boyfriend. However, she did not reveal his identity then, and neither did she add any caption.
Further on TikTok, she wrote: "Felt cute, might delete later." Their picture got a lot of love from Remi Bader's friends and fans.
Keyveat Postell is currently an associate at Scotiabank, a multinational banking and financial services company, per his LinkedIn. He is from Philadelphia and went to Haverford School. Later, he went to the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with a degree in BA political economy in 2020.
Besides academics, Postell was also an active athlete. For four years, he played men's lacrosse and was a member of the team in 42 matches.
Throughout their relationship, Postell often attended red-carpet events with Remi Bader. Their whirlwind romance went on for more than a year before the couple called it quits. While there were rumors about their split, Bader confirmed the same in March 2024.
In a TikTok video, she confirmed the breakup and revealed that Postell was someone that "I thought I was gonna marry."
"This was my best friend. I’ve never been so close to someone in my life, and I really, really just wanted to believe that this was who I’d spend the rest of my life with."
"All I can do is keep thinking of the positive: that I never thought that I was capable of being loved and never thought that I could picture kids with anyone or getting married or a future," she added.
However, she ensured that the breakup did not break her and she does not regret getting into a relationship with Postell.
"I don’t regret anything. I learned a lot about myself and that I know that I can give so much love to someone else."
In another now-deleted video, she revealed that her boyfriend broke up with her over text.
Why is Remi Bader facing backlash from fans?
Remi Bader recently appeared on Khloe Kardashian's podcast Khloe in Wonder Land. During the episode, she revealed that she lost over 140 pounds in less than a year. About 80% of her stomach was removed after a "single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy, which is a type of bariatric surgery."
While she got candid about her personal choices, it did not sit well with netizens. Many trolled her for going for surgery after finding fame as a plus-size model. Others claimed that she was lying to her fans and set unrealistic beauty standards.
There were speculations about Bader's weight loss journey as many claimed she had gone under the knife. After revealing the truth, fans also accused Remi Bader of blocking her followers who asked her if she had opted for surgery.
Amid the backlash, many are also standing up for Bader and asking others to mind their own business.
