Plus-Size Model Tess Holliday Just Clapped Back at Trolls Telling Her How to Work Out
She’s shot some seriously gorgeous pics for high-profile brands, but model Tess Holliday has also unfortunately had to deal with an unfair share of trolls in this Twitter age. She’s clapped back at online haters who accuse her of living an unhealthy lifestyle, and she’s even boycotted Uber because of an incident where a driver fat-shamed her. Now she’s an author and an advocate for size inclusivity in fashion—so when people start commenting on her body and telling her how to live her life, she’s not afraid to call them out.
Holliday posted a series of videos of herself at the gym on Friday and the comments blew up thanks to rude Internet lurkers. She reposted a few choice comments in a new Instagram post with a cutting caption, “Y’all just can’t handle seeing someone in a plus size body that isn’t deemed desirable by societies standards THRIVING & it kills y’all. Worry about your own life?? #FUCKYOURBEAUTYSTANDARDS #thenotsosubtleartofbeingafatgirl”
Unless you’re Holliday (or her trainer), it’s no one’s place to tell her—or anyone else—how to work out and what to do with her body. She posted videos of herself working out and was met with criticism and hate rather than love and support. That’s no way to talk to anyone, but thankfully she’s strong enough to call her haters out.
