Ashley Graham Claps Back at a Body-Shamer

(Instagram)

The plus-size model is a beacon of body positivity who can shut down a ‘pregnant’ accusation with just a few quick words.

Graham posted an Instagram video of herself grooving to Drake in a pink bikini on Tuesday, July 17th, captioned, “my tues morning💕👙💋🎀.” When one user rudely commented that she had a “baby bump,” her succinct response was: “That’s just called fat.”

The America’s Next Top Model judge has always made a point to advocate for all variations of the female form, especially those that don’t fit the mold of the thin, ‘ideal’ body type. In fact, she challenges everything about the standard that we hold in our society and aims to change our perceptions of beauty based on size.

“I am here for all women who don’t feel comfortable in their skin, who need a reminder that their unique bodies are beautiful,” Graham penned in a 2016 essay for Lenny Letter, “I’m very proud of my work as a model, and I’m even more proud of the work we’ve all done to raise awareness for body positivity and size diversity within the fashion industry.”

With one skim of her Instagram comments, you will find even more validations from women and girls who insist that she has inspired them to love their own bodies than you will hateful remarks. That’s how Ashley Graham shows us that our fat really is beautiful!
