Former Sports Illustrated model has SLAMMED Ashley Graham’s cover
American model and former Sports Illustrated covergirl, Cheryl Tiegs, has come under public scrutiny after criticising Sports Illustrated for featuring plus-sized model Ashley Graham on the cover of it's new issue.
Ashley has recently made history by becoming the first plus-sized body to front the cover of the highly coveted Swimsuit Issue for 2016.
And while we think she looks absolutely out of this world, it seems that former covergirl Cheryl is not impressed.
"Actually I don’t like it that we’re talking about full figured women because it’s glamorising them," said the 68-year-old to E! News.
"Your waist should be smaller than 35 inches. That’s what Dr.Oz [American health expert] said and I’m sticking to it.
"No I don’t think it’s healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don’t think it’s healthy in the long run."
And as you can imagine, no one has been particularly impressed with Cheryl's comment and the model has been forced to attempt to defend herself on social media.
"I would like to clarify my thoughts regarding bodyweight. I don't think being anorexic, bulimic or overweight are healthy," said Cheryl on Facebook last night.
"All of these can be connected to serious health issues. I want everyone to be as healthy as they can be."
Fans were quick to comment that Ashley's website revealed her waist to measure in at 30 inches, making her well within the healthy sizeframe according to Dr. Oz.
At a size 14, we think she just slays the cover.
The 28-year-old revealed that she broke into tears when she heard that she had landed the cover.
You do you, Ashley Graham.
