E! News recently caught up with Ashley Graham, the Sports Illustrated cover model who Cheryl Tiegs basically called too fat to function. Here's Ashley's response:
"Cheryl Tiegs may have said what she said, and it may have hurt a lot of people's feelings, but my skin is so thick. I kind of rolled my eyes. I was like, 'Oh, whatever, another one of these ladies.' But what's great is that, the fact that she said it — it means that other women think like her. And what that means is that we really need to change the industry.
There are too many people thinking they can look at a girl my size and say that we are unhealthy. You can't, only my doctor can! I've never personally heard from her. She said her comment about me, then never heard a follow-up. People are saying she apologized. But I never heard one...The SI girls, I've always looked up to them. They are classic, amazing, beautiful women and it's a shame that we have to bring other people down, but that's why I'm here. I've got to bring other women up."
