Ashley Graham writes back to bashers; Plus-size model says 'I'm over it'

Plus-size model Ashley Graham recently posted a vague message to all her bashers, as well as her fans who seemingly turned against her. After a recent photo that was struck with controversy, Graham has a bold statement to all those who were somewhat bothered by how she looked.

The "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit model wrote a simple response to those who saw a recent picture of her online, which was shot by her hairdresser. In the photo, fans of the model were disappointed that Graham appeared to have lost weight.

Graham clarified that it may seem as if she got slimmer, though the truth is that she has not lost a single pound for the entire year. She clarified that she may even have gained a few pounds compared to how she was three years ago, feeling comfortable and takes how her body is at the moment.

A portion of the message that Graham penned on Lenny said, “To some I'm too curvy. To others I'm too tall, too busty, too loud, and, now, too small — too much, but at the same time not enough. When I post a photo from a "good angle," I receive criticism for looking smaller and selling out. When I post photos showing my cellulite, stretch marks, and rolls, I'm accused of promoting obesity. The cycle of body-shaming needs to end. I'm over it.”

For those unaware, Graham is the first plus-size model (a model that goes beyond a size 10) to be featured in “Sports Illustrated” as a cover girl this year. Graham’s accolades are not only notable within the modelling industry, as she is also a body activist and fashion designer. It can also be recalled that she was featured in the music video of DNCE’s “Toothbrush” alongside the band’s vocalist Joe Jonas as her leading man.
