Who did Erika Diaz do?

Erika Diaz, a 22-year-old nurse, recently posted a video on TikTok that went viral as netizens found her hospital uniform to be "inappropriate." In the now deleted video, Erika was seen modeling in her hospital uniform, a blue top tucked into matching pants.

The video also featured a screenshot of how the scrubs were advertised online, showing that they were designed to be tucked in.

In the caption of the video, Diaz spoke about how some people had an issue with her body and before it was deleted, the video had reached nearly 13 million views. As she justified herself, the nurse clarified that at 5'2 and 107 lbs, she is "short and little."

While there were people suggesting that she should buy a bigger size of the uniform, there were others who said that she couldn't control her body shape. At the same time, there were people who were commenting on her not being professional. Meanwhile, others simply said that buying a bigger uniform wouldn't be the solution as it would only be bigger on the arms and the shoulders.

One user commented:

“These comments are actually making me so mad. She’s wearing it like it’s supposed to be worn. She can’t control the way her body is made wtf!!!”

However, this isn't the case for Erika Diaz, as she embraces her body in almost all videos and never fails to show off her perfect hourglass figure. Rocking every look, from bikinis to just the usual casual wear, each video of Erika gets hundreds and thousands of views, likes and comments.
