A few weeks ago, she shared a video of herself making her way through airport security, which has since gone viral with over 28 million views.
In the clip, Victoria promotes Kiziks – a pair of slip-on sneakers, and captioned the video ‘Hands-free shoes make going through the airport security a breeze’.
She has received some shocking comments from viewers, but has grabbed even more attention through her witty responses.
Victoria made a video not long after where she shared some of the ‘crazy troll comments’ and her replies.
“I prefer to use wit and humour to mess with them,” Victoria, a social media and marketing manager from San Diego, California, told Luxury Travel Daily.
“I have found that angry internet trolls are the most engaging so responding to them the way I do not only stirs them up but entertains other people who are browsing through the dumpster fire comment section.
“At the end of the day, the engagement only helps me.
“My clapback videos are to share my impeccable sense of humour with my audience, and to also inspire others not to let the negativity get them down.
“I love wearing my slip-on sneakers and I know other people would love these shoes too.
“A lot of us have social anxiety and don’t like making people wait for us, especially when we are going through security at the airport.”
Victoria isn’t afraid to clapback at those who judge her, something which her followers admire her for.
As a plus size woman, she finds the trickiest part of travelling to be flying, but has credited Southwest airlines for their policies.
She said: “The trickiest part has always been the flight but with Southwest’s customer of size policy I can fly safely and comfortably.”
“Another issue I have run into is seating at restaurants being too tight.
“Almost every place I have gone is able to accommodate different seating.
“It’s all about asking and advocating for yourself which I know can be difficult and intimidating.
“I hope by sharing my travel experiences I can empower others to travel fearlessly.”
Through sharing parts of her life online, Victoria hopes to empower others, and encourage other women to advocate for themselves, reports Luxury Travel Daily.
Her initial post relating to her slip-on shoes featured some hilarious comebacks to the negative comments.
Dario commented: “Did your plane take off?”
Victoria responded with: “Yes as it saw me coming to board. I think I scared it off.”
“Ma’am, you can’t smuggle people on flight under your shirt,” wrote Ben.
This prompted Victoria to reply: “I can inside my stomach though.”
Steven said: “This is a sign to lose 100 lbs.”
Victoria questioned him, writing: “Just 100?”
She also received comments of support, and appreciation for her sense of humour.
Cherie penned: “They’re just jealous that you are travelling while they’re sitting in their moms’ basements. Also your replies are hilarious.”
“The replies are gold,” said Justin.
