40-year-old plus-size model, activist, and blogger Tess Holliday stated that curvy models are increasingly appearing in advertising and fashion shows. She dislikes the industry's gradual return to the days when slimness was a priority.
The woman shared an episode of Good Morning Britain with fans. During a conversation with the show's hosts, Holliday explained that her fellow plus-size models have become less sought after on the runway and in advertising.
At the same time, the celebrity noted that she has observed this trend with the increased popularity of Ozempic among celebrities, which they use en masse for weight loss. In the description of her interview, she clarified that she does not blame the widespread use of the drug for the eradication of body positivity in society. "However, I stand by my opinion: we deserve respect, no matter how we present ourselves in this world," Holliday emphasized.
Tess Holliday has long been known as one of the most vocal proponents of body positivity. Recently, she received advice from a flight attendant in business class to lose weight.
The incident occurred on a United Airlines flight from Tampa, Florida. Holliday was flying first class with her 9-year-old son. "I was in the restroom and my hip hit the call button for the flight attendant. "When I got out, he advised me to lose weight," the model recalls. The airline employee also told Holliday the story of his sister, who had experienced fat shaming (discrimination and judgment for being overweight). He suggested that his relative should also lose weight.
"This conversation lasted ten minutes, and I think I just stood there, rooted to the spot. I didn't want to make a scene because my son was with me, but I was in shock," she shared.
"I eat only organic food, work out five times a week, go to the sauna every day, don't drink soda, and don't eat fast food," Tess laments.
According to the woman, the airline apologized to her after the incident. Holliday, for her part, stated that she did not want the employee fired. Instead, she advised United Airlines to organize training for him on sensitive topics.
