Schroeder, 31, came to her friend’s defense and left a comment on the photo in support of Maloney-Schwartz.
“You see the problem is that we watch Katie from the beginning and half the issue is not the outfit but the weight gain which make the outfits look a lot worse than they would look if she was in shape,” the commenter said. “That, plus her mean personality give out a bad vibe for her. I feel bad for her husband knowing that he probably gets laid once a month and if…their relationship is my worst fear.”

This is not the first time that Maloney-Schwartz has been body-shamed. In 2018, she spoke with PEOPLEabout her weight fluctuationssinceVPRpremiered in 2013.
“I was just 24 years old,” she said. “I was someone who worked out since high school — I was a cheerleader — and I just always worked out and never thought of it. I gave myself a rest, I quit one gym, and that was probably the wrong time to do that because I was 28 and my body was like, guess what, you can’t do that anymore! But it’s fine, it’s called age. I’m 30 and with every milestone I get to in life I try to embrace it.”
Maloney-Schwartz admits that seeing her body shift was “a little hard” at first, but she’s learned to appreciate her shape.
“I think it’s just accepting change, and accepting that it’s okay,” she says. “Our bodies have done nothing but grow and change and grow some more since we were born. Knowing that it’s okay — I don’t need to look a certain way or I don’t need to be the same size as I was when I was 25.”

“The only thing I regret is body shaming Katie,” she said.
