When it comes to role models for young girls today, I can’t think of a better young woman than Sadie Robertson.
Following in the footsteps of powerful female leaders like Christine Caine and Lysa TerKeurst, Sadie is on fire for Jesus, and slowly growing a crusade of her own.
Her Instagram is full of daily encouragements and devotionals for her 2.9 million followers, and her “Live Original” speaking tour is at the top of even MY to-do list.
One of the best things about Sadie isn’t just that she preaches Truth on a platform that’s plastered with half-dressed girls and tricks you into playing the comparison game. It’s that she’s REAL. She talks to her followers—young girls and women—about her life, and REAL things that we all experience.
This week’s post was no different. Sadie took to Instagram to talk about some of the horrible things she’s been told as a model.

“A few months ago I showed up for a photoshoot that I had thought was going to be a natural no makeup photoshoot,” Sadie writes. “The director of the shoot took a quick look at me and said, ‘Nope this girl does not have the face to pull off a no makeup shoot.’”
The crew then proceeded to spend two hours making her appear as though she wasn’t wearing any makeup.
“Let’s be real I did NOT wake up like that.”
Sadie says she never thought of herself as a model, nor did she intend to get into the industry, but the little time she’s spent there has opened her eyes to “shocking things.”
She’s had her stomach “fat” pinched to reiterate which part of her body she needed to change, and been told that in order to be an “actual model,” she should lose 10 pounds.
