More than 150 days have passed since November 26, 2024. Ilona Maher is now more than a rugby sevens star. She has now made her position in another branch of rugby- 15s. Also, she is vocal about female empowerment, breaking stereotypes, and body positivity. For Ilona, her representation in Dancing With The Stars has helped her to make a position in such off-court matters. The platform that DWTS gave her has a role in settling her in a position in people’s hearts where she can impact the general mindset. However, Ilona herself had a mindset while performing at the DWTS to magnify her campaign.
It was about campaigning for body positivity. In her recent interview with Marie Claire, Ilona Maher said, “I literally told the stylist I wanted to be as n**** as possible.” It was about her looks in DWTS.On that subject, she further added, “I felt like I was being slightly covered up; that they thought a bigger girl may want something more modest and I was like, ‘Nope! If the 100lb girl is n****, I want to be n****. Less fabric!’”
