The unexpected departure of Carol Acosta, better known as Killadamente, one of the most beloved influencers in the Dominican Republic, was surprising for all her fans. Known for her message of self-love and self-acceptance, the influencer became a role model for thousands of people who followed her and admired her for her authenticity.
The sad news was confirmed a few days ago by her sister, Kathyan, who, through an emotional message on her social media, expressed: "I love you, sister, and will always love you. I thank God for giving me a sister like you with your big heart. Rest in peace, my sister."
The beginning of their career in social media
Carol Acosta began her journey on social media in 2015, but it was in 2017 when she truly rose to fame. Her content, which promoted self-acceptance and self-love, quickly won the hearts of thousands of people. It was her charisma and authenticity that catapulted her to stardom, particularly for her sincere messages about the struggles she faced since childhood, such as being teased about her weight.
In one of the most memorable moments of her career, Killadamente responded to criticism about her figure with a phrase that went viral: "70% of the human body is water. So I'm not fat, I'm flooded." This statement not only turned her into a symbol of empowerment, but also served to inspire others to embrace their bodies just as they are.
His legacy
Throughout the years, Killadamente shared moments of her personal life, showing her physical and emotional transformation. Her famous "roast yourself challenge," in which she made jokes about her own flaws, accumulated over 40 million views, establishing her as one of the most authentic and beloved voices on social media. With over 600,000 followers on Instagram and a community of thousands of people on various platforms, her message reached thousands of corners of the world.
From New York, where she lived with her family, Carol used her platform to inspire women to embrace their authenticity and challenge the stereotypes imposed by society. Her greatest motivation were her two children, aged 2 and 4, for whom her fight for a more inclusive and prejudice-free world was a priority.
