A model has revealed that her massive boobs almost got her stabbed with a knife and bullied out of school – but she’s eventually learned to love them.
Anastasiya Berthier, 26, from Moscow, Russia, first noticed her breasts were bigger than other girls her age when she turned 13.
“My boobs started to grow dramatically! I was DD already by 14 and they just kept on getting bigger and bigger,” the model told NudeNewz.

“Being at school with really big boobs was very uncomfortable. When we had gym class I found it so embarrassing to run and jump in front of other kids at that time.
“I didn’t have a proper sports bra and it hurt a lot.”
Anastasiya, who has a huge 1.1 million followers on Instagram (@artdikaya_), says that at school the other kids would tease her for having big boobs and call her names.
But the abuse went far beyond typical teenage cruelty.
“It was usually the guys making rude comments but I remember one crazy girl chasing me with a knife and yelling that she wanted to cut off my breasts,” she said.
Sexual harassment and vicious rumours
When Anastasiya got to high school, the situation deteriorated further.
She claims the boys would make up disgusting rumours about her and sexually harass her.
“One guy I rejected told everyone that I’d had a foursome with him and his friends in the school bathroom,” she said.
“I was a virgin at that time and I was so upset and embarrassed. At that moment I felt destroyed and dirty. It led me to a horrible depression and I eventually quit school.”
Between the ages of 15 and 17, Anastasiya was educated at home and says she spent most of her time locked in her room reading books or playing video games.
“I told my parents I was sick and almost never went outside. Most of my friends were online and we played games like World of Warcraft,” she said.
“I didn’t even go to prom.”
The relentless bullying had driven Anastasiya into isolation, transforming her teenage years into a period of loneliness and depression.
Finding self-acceptance online
Despite the bullies, Anastasiya slowly started to embrace her body and realised that it was the trolls with the problem and not her.
“Going online and seeing other women who were a similar shape and size as me being celebrated made me realise how beautiful I am,” she said.
“I love myself and my body now! I love my curves, I love the volume of my chest, my hips and waist.
“I am trying to eat clean and workout but sometimes I let myself have something I crave too, this way I keep my curves but remain tight.”
The model’s journey from isolated teenager to confident influencer represents a dramatic transformation – one made possible partly by finding communities online that celebrated rather than shamed her body type.
Her natural 34K breasts, once a source of torment, are now central to her six-figure modelling career.
The trolls never stopped
However, even with her huge fan base that earns her a six-figure salary by modelling online, Anastasiya still experiences slut-shaming.
“Some trolls living in their parents’ basement will harass me from the fake accounts, always trying to give their opinion or even create forums to talk about my personal life. It’s incredibly sad,” she said.
“Lots of girls get slut shamed because they are pretty or if they reject someone. The bullies probably don’t understand what they do to a person with their jokes and bullying.
“I was depressed but I was able to handle it. For some it can lead to serious mental issues or even suicide.”
The model’s comments highlight how online harassment often mirrors the same dynamics as schoolyard bullying – targeting women for their appearance, sexuality, or simply for existing in public spaces.
A bully apologises
After many years, one of Anastasiya’s school bullies actually reached out to her.
She confronted him about how much he had hurt her during their school years.
“He said he was really sorry and he just liked me and wanted to look cool in front of other boys,” she said.
“I didn’t bother responding. I don’t care about the opinions of random people on the internet.
“I know who I am and that I am a good person. Only sad people who are not ok with themselves try to hurt other people. Such people deserve pity, there is no point in being angry with them.”
Her response reveals a hard-won wisdom about bullying – that it often says more about the bully’s insecurities than anything about the victim.
The physical pain of development
Anastasiya’s story also highlights the practical challenges that come with developing dramatically larger breasts as a teenager.
The lack of proper sports bras meant that physical education classes weren’t just embarrassing but actually painful.
This physical discomfort, combined with the emotional torment from peers, made school an unbearable environment.
For young women experiencing similar rapid development, access to proper undergarments and supportive environments can make a significant difference.
Depression and isolation
The depression Anastasiya experienced after the false foursome rumour spread demonstrates how sexual rumours can devastate young people.
Being labelled sexually promiscuous – particularly when she was actually a virgin – created shame so intense it drove her into isolation for years.
The fact that she told her parents she was sick rather than explaining the bullying suggests she internalised some of the shame and felt unable to share what was happening.
Online communities as refuge
For Anastasiya, online gaming communities provided the social connection she couldn’t find in person.
Playing World of Warcraft and connecting with people who couldn’t see her body allowed her to be valued for who she was rather than judged for how she looked.
This experience reflects how online spaces can serve as crucial refuges for young people experiencing harassment or isolation in their physical communities.
The jealousy factor
The girl who chased Anastasiya with a knife, threatening to cut off her breasts, represents an extreme example of female jealousy and competition.
Rather than supporting each other, young women are often socialised to view other girls’ bodies as competition – leading to violence in extreme cases.
This dynamic of women policing and punishing other women’s bodies continues into adulthood, as Anastasiya’s ongoing experiences with slut-shaming demonstrate.
Slut-shaming as punishment
Anastasiya’s observation that “lots of girls get slut shamed because they are pretty or if they reject someone” identifies how sexual shaming is often used to punish women.
The label has nothing to do with actual sexual behaviour – it’s simply a weapon used against women who are attractive, confident, or who refuse male attention.
In Anastasiya’s case, she was called names and had false sexual rumours spread about her despite being a virgin – proving the label is about control, not truth.
The cost of beauty
The model’s experience challenges the assumption that being conventionally attractive automatically makes life easier.
Her large breasts, which now earn her a six-figure income, were a source of torment throughout her teenage years.
The same physical attributes that make her successful now nearly destroyed her mental health when she was younger.
Building resilience
Anastasiya’s ability to overcome the bullying and build a successful career suggests significant resilience.
The years spent isolated and depressed could easily have resulted in lasting damage, but she found her way to self-acceptance.
Her message that bullies “deserve pity, there is no point in being angry with them” shows she’s processed the trauma rather than carrying rage forward.
Her message to others
Anastasiya hopes that her story will help other women learn to love their bodies and themselves.
“We should give ourselves unconditional love like a parent loves their baby. We are beautiful and worthy no matter what. We are all beautiful in our diversity,” she said.
This message of self-love and acceptance stands in stark contrast to the years of hatred and shame she experienced as a teenager.
The surrogate baby plan
Anastasiya has also revealed plans to have a baby through a surrogate to avoid risking her figure – and she wants one of her fans to be the father.
The model, who is currently single and lives in Dubai, has signed up with a surrogate agency based in Kazakhstan.
“I work hard to keep my body in shape and if I carry a baby myself it’ll probably be impossible to get my body back,” she told Jam Press.
“You can see a lot of examples of curvy models who never returned to work after having babies and I don’t want that.
“Plus, if I do it this way I can choose the gender of the baby and be more likely to have twins.
“I’d like to have boys first and then a daughter.”
She’s now hunting for her child’s future father, with plans to offer the opportunity to one of her 1.1 million Instagram or OnlyFans followers.
“I know most of these guys very well, I speak to them all day long, so why not?” she said.
“If he is smart, good-looking and kind, then he can contribute to being part of my family.
“I wouldn’t ask for any financial help from him. Any man would be lucky to be the father of my child.”
No romance required
Anastasiya insists she doesn’t need to be in a relationship to become a mother.
“I’m single at the moment but I don’t need to be with a man to have a child,” she said.
“I’m not desperate for a boyfriend, however, I’m open to meeting someone if he’s Mr. Right.
“Actress Amber Heard just had a baby by surrogate, it’s not as unusual as it was.
“I don’t see why I should have to wait to meet a man just to have a baby.”
The model says she’s financially secure and using a surrogate will allow her to keep working throughout the process.
“I’ve been ready for children for a few years now and spoken to lots of different specialists, it’s not something I’ve rushed into,” she said.
“It’s not cheap but using a surrogate in Kazakhstan is far cheaper than in the US or Europe.
“There is a fee for the mother for actually carrying the baby but also a monthly salary while she’s pregnant.”
Family reaction
The model says her friends and family are supportive of her choice, although it took them by surprise initially.
“I’ve spoken to my mum and friends about it and although they were shocked at first, after I explained my reasons she said she understood and supported me,” she said.
“If you want to be happy and healthy you have to have thick skin.
“Whatever you do, people will talk. Just be yourself.
“I might get pregnant myself later on in life but at the moment I love working and don’t want to risk my body.
“I’m going to make a wonderful mum and I don’t need a man to fulfil my dreams.”
From the bullied teenager who nearly had her breasts cut off to a successful model planning motherhood on her own terms, Anastasiya’s journey represents a remarkable transformation.
Whether her unconventional approach to motherhood works out remains to be seen – but it’s clear she’s learned to live life exactly as she chooses, regardless of what others think.
