Arsenal fan Arabella Mia has received backlash after she attended Gunners matches wearing body paint.

For the Gunners’ crucial 1-0 win over Manchester City last weekend, Mia was seen wearing a body paint Arsenal away kit.

However, Mia has revealed that she has faced criticism and backlash over her decision to wear body paint.

Speaking to Daily Star, she said: “This time, I've had a lot of backlash from on Twitter, which I haven't had for the last like three times.

“Nobody says anything to my face. Like, I always get people asking for pictures, like families and stuff like that. It's never an issue when I'm there.”

Mia continued: “I speak to the like, the police come over to me and they're always like, Oh, you look amazing, or the stewards, you know, every single time that I've gone out. I think it's mostly just the fact that people don't know the difference between indecent exposure and people are looking at it and thinking, okay, there's kids there.

“But in my brain, I'm like, I'm fully covered. Not even my nipples are showing, the only thing that you can see is a bit of underboob if you're looking at me, like I'm an object that is to be looked at and sexualised that way.

“It's just such a shame because obviously, you know, I stand there for four hours, and go and have a great time at the game, especially when we win. And then what I come home and I've just had so much abuse this time around.”

Mia also revealed that the backlash and negativity will not stop her.

She said: “I'm still gonna do it. I mean, the thing is, it's my thing now, I think that it's gonna happen. I will continue doing it. And people should always feel comfortable in their own body no matter what they look like.”
