Former “Bachelorette” Clare Crawley knows a thing or two about dealing with haters online, but the time has come for her to “rise above the negativity.”

The 39-year-old reality star has notoriously faced judgement online since exiting the latest season of “The Bachelorette”, and in an open and honest Instagram post shared this weekend, she urged critics to consider the real person behind the headlines.

“Hi. It’s me, Clare. Not Clare that you have seen edited on your television or social media squares. But the human one with feelings, insecurities, emotions and a normal life just like you,” she wrote.

“There are good days and bad days. Being on reality TV doesn’t exempt me (or any of us) from that. I will always do my best to rise above the negativity and find the positive, but I am not superhuman. So when you choose to pass judgements without knowing someone personally or even something as small as a snide comment, please remember just like you, I am simply trying my best,” she concluded.

Posing for the photo in a cute and comfy $200 Button Front Hoodie, Crawley paired her athleisure look with a pair of fan-favourite leggings that happen to be on sale.

The bestselling Spanx Faux Leather Leggings are backed by thousands of customer reviews, and are currently included in Nordstrom’s Cyber Week sale. Regularly priced at $98, they’re currently on sale for 20 per cent off.

A staple piece in any wardrobe, these faux leather leggings are a stylish must-have that also happen to feature all of the slimming and trimming details that Spanx are known for. Their signature Power Waistband helps to smooth the stomach, while a high-waisted design offers comfort and coverage.

Stretch fabric helps to provide a butt-lifting look, while a glossy finish ensures an eye-catching and on-trend design that you’ll want to wear on repeat. These leggings are available in sizes XS to XL, which fits women between sizes 0-16, though they do also come in plus sizes up to a 2X.

Thanks to their versatility and flattering fit, these leggings have earned a 4.5 star rating on more than 2,800 customer reviews.

“These leggings are worth every penny. Spanx does a great job of placing their seams in areas that won't cut your circulation off. The way that the leggings can smooth out any bump and cranny is perfect! You can dress these up or down, and they wash very well,” reads one review.

“So flattering, looks good with literally anything. I wear them to work with a giant sweater and then out for drinks with a cute tank top and booties. They are so comfortable, I need 10 more pairs,” reads another.
