Woman, 50, faces a daily barrage of abuse because of her oversized behind

While the likes of Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj are famous for - and indeed flaunt - their curvy bottoms, one woman can testify that having a large behind isn't always a good thing. 

Unlike the famous celebrities, who are feted for their ample curves, Lerato Pitso from South Africa says she faces a daily barrage of abuse because of her oversized behind. 

According to Lerato, 50, wherever she goes she becomes a laughing stock and is unable to find a serious relationship because men just want to sleep with her. 

Lerato, who works in market research, said: 'At one stage I wanted to commit suicide because I felt like I'm not good enough. 

'Men only want to sleep with me. They don't love me'.

Lerato also has to put up with constant whispers and stares and people taking photos of her. 

She explained: 'Sometimes I hear a camera's shutter and when I turn to see what is happening, I see people taking pictures of my backside.' 

And, she adds, it isn't men who are the worst offenders, it's fellow females.

Lerato, who has tried to lose weight in the past but says it has made no difference to the size of her hips, says she is looking for love but her hopes are waning because she is only seen as a 'sex object'.
