"Don't worry about my fat ass": 150-pound Tess Holliday on the cover of Cosmopolitan

33-year-old plus size model Tess Holliday starred for the cover of the British Cosmopolitan — and she does not believe it. And the British are outraged: this is a walking propaganda of obesity.

Just 15 years ago, the British cover of Cosmopolitan was first decorated by Naomi Campbell, and then Kate Moss, and millions of British women sat on apples and tears to get at least a little closer to their slimness. The appearance of plus–size model Tess Holliday on the cover of Cosmo is a strong blow to the sale of dietary products. By putting a 150-kilogram model on the cover, the fashion industry seemed to go all in, saying that a woman is beautiful in any weight. And adding the headline: "Tess Holliday invites haters to kiss her ass" also provoked a scandal in Britain. According to popular TV presenter Piers Morgan, what Tess is doing is pure propaganda of an unhealthy lifestyle.

Meanwhile, opinions in the comments were divided into two camps: some agreed with Pierce that "she is disgusting," others felt that it was not Morgan's business to evaluate someone else's attractiveness and healthy lifestyle. After all, he lives in a democratic society. And then Tess herself came to the comments and butchered Pierce: "To everyone who considers me a burden to British healthcare. Actually, I'm American, so you don't have to worry about my fat ass. Worry better about how disgusting you are when you whine that my photo on the cover of the gloss prevents you from living."

Despite her apparent self-confidence, Tess has repeatedly admitted in interviews what a long way she had to go and how many beliefs she had to break and overcome in order to prove that plus-size women can be desirable, sexy and attractive. She has always been a pompous woman and since childhood has faced ridicule in her address. But she felt inwardly that she was beautiful and wanted to prove it. First, she was filmed for catalogs of clothes for full, then there was an advertisement for underwear, then the first contract. Then there are more contracts. Then your blog and clothing line. Tess admitted that sometimes she had to close comments to Instagram posts in order not to read all sorts of abominations about herself. Holliday still suffers from complexes.
