The model opened up about being called 'fat' and shutting down judgment.
Tess Holliday is sharing her views on body positivity and the plus-size moment in a new interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times.
“I think words do matter — there is power in words,” she said. “I’m OK with being called plus size, I’m OK with being called fat. If someone is shouting that I’m fat in the street in a derogatory way, then obviously I’m not OK with that, but I’m comfortable using the adjective fat to describe myself, because I am fat.”
“I’ve been doing this for a decade, and when I first started you didn’t see women like me on the covers of magazines, you didn’t see pop stars like Lizzo dominating stages and winning Grammys,” Holliday said. “You didn’t see any of that — so, yeah, I’ve been a part of a movement that has changed the social climate for everybody to be more accepting in general. Not only if you’re plus size, but however you choose to live your life and present yourself and your body.
