Tess Holliday, 33, is one of the world’s most famous plus-size models. And also one of the most criticized.
She receives hateful messages every day because of her body. But there is one she remembers especially: a woman attacked her again and again for promoting, according to her, obesity. Tess did not block or ignore her. She did a little research and discovered that the same woman was recovering from anorexia. She replied with a message of support, not anger 🧡
She says she does not sell obesity, like someone sells Tupperware. She sells something different: acceptance. And she still believes that a large body is judged more harshly than a cigarette or one drink too many.
