Cheryl Tiegs on Ashley Graham's Swimsuit Issue Cover: It's Unhealthy
Cheryl Tiegs is criticizing Sports Illustrated for putting Ashley Graham, a plus-size model, on one of the Swimsuit Issue covers as she believes it’s unhealthy.
“I don’t like that we’re talking about full-figured women because it’s glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches],” the 68-year-old former model told E! News.
“That’s what Dr. Oz said, and I’m sticking to it,” Cheryl added. “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.”
Ashley recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about being the first plus-size model to grace the magazine’s cover in its 52-year history.
