"I'm into wellbeing, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I'm interested in living a long, full, and healthy life"
About this Quote
The subtext is more complicated, and that’s why it works. A model saying “not because of social pressures” is both credible and impossible; she’s speaking from inside the pressure chamber. The denial isn’t naïveté so much as a strategic refusal to let the gaze dictate her storyline. It functions as preemptive defense against the internet’s default suspicion: that any wellness talk from a model is code for “thinness.” She’s asking to be read as a person first, a body second.
Context matters here: “wellbeing” has become the safer, softer word for fitness and food discipline in a world that’s learned the vocabulary of body positivity and mental health. Brook’s phrasing acknowledges that shift without turning it into a lecture. “Long, full and healthy” is aspirational in a way that feels adult, less about shrinking and more about staying. It’s a cultural pivot from looking good to lasting longer, even when the speaker can’t fully escape the old rules.
