A Dallas Cowboys WAG has responded in the most graceful way after being trolled by online haters over her appearance.
Kalani Bagsby, girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys rookie Tyler Booker, says she's determined to make the NFL WAG community more inclusive after being criticized for the way she looks.
Several users on X left hurtful comments on a side-by-side photo of Bagsby and Booker from when they started dating two years ago and from the 2025 NFL draft.
"What did she eat in those two years," one person commented.
"She sure as h--- aint missing any meals since she met him either," another wrote.
"Put on those lbs in 2 years. You know she. happy," someone else said.
"She need to change her eating habits before dude move on in life." another wrote.
"We could use her on the line too," someone else quipped.
The 21-year-old, who identifies as plus-sized, recently participated in an Instagram Stories takeover of the Women in the NFL account, giving fans a glimpse into her day-to-day life supporting her boyfriend, Cowboys offensive guard, Booker, during the NFL preseason.
Although she did receive some positive comments, Bagsby told "People" she also received plenty of hurtful comments about the way she looks.
“Oh my gosh, the amount of hate I got on that one post, like for the Women of the NFL, the takeover post is just crazy,” Bagsby told the outlet, adding, “It's been happening since the draft."
She's now hoping to set a strong example of grace for other wives and girlfriends in the NFL community who have similar bodies.
“I know how to handle [the hate] and I don't mind putting myself out there if that means I know I'm helping someone else, and I know that I'm showing someone else ‘Girl, you can do this,’” she said. “You're perfect, how you look."

Dallas Cowboys rookie's girlfriend Kalani Bagsby responds to trolls with confidence
Booker's girlfriend dreams about one day starting a plus-size NFL fashion brand.
"My whole thing is I just really want to let everyone know that, that you're beautiful in your own body," she continued. "You don't have to fit a certain standard, because clearly I don't, and I love myself and it may take time to be confident and love yourself, but trust, like it will come."
She's been dating Booker since their freshman year at Alabama. The pair initially met after Booker started following her on TikTok during her senior year of high school. In college, Bagsby returned the favor by following Booker on Instagram after the Crimson Tide's game against Texas A&M. The rest is history.
While attending Alabama, the 21-year-old NFL WAG worked for the school's news station, as an Athletic Communications Department assistant, and as a tour guide for the stadium. She's since moved to Texas with the NFL rookie, who was selected by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft.
Despite the hate she's received, Bagsby says she's found a great community of friendship in other Cowboys' wives and girlfriends.
“Everyone that I've met and everyone that I continue to meet, everyone is super supportive," she said.
Some of the WAGS have started a bible study together, which she says, has helped create a "family" feeling and make her feel at home.
