I had an eating disorder when I was younger. Hated food and would starve myself if I ever binged. I wasn't anorexic but I was a stick.

So does she evidently, just the complete opposite to what you struggled with. That's what a lot of people don't understand and that's where the vitriol stems from.

We hug the severely underweight and hang the severely overweight, even when it's clear that both have major problems relating to how they view themselves.

seriously, how is she a model in any way shape or form? plus size is not supersize.
It's either a set-up publicity stunt or an opportunity seized upon by her just to create one. She probably gets that reaction a lot because she is abnormally obese and is on the lookout for it.

Ah lads, would ye not let her have the 15 minutes of fame? She'll be dead soon.

"I work out five times a week". Eh... at what? "My body is none of your business". Yep, that's fairly accurate. So long as she wasn't impinging on his space(which apparently she wasn't). "I'm healthy"? Get up the yard love, you're talking nonsense.

Was yer man being a dick? Hell yes he was, but she's not "plus sized", she's astronomically, farcically fat and that should not be "celebrated". Certainly not because fashion marketeers have spotted a huge(no pun) segment of the market that is as fat as her and will ring the greasy till even more because they've transmogrified "fat" into "plus sized real women". And she's enabling and making money from that? G'way and sh1te.

Empathised with, yes. Helped, yes. Not publicly derided, most certainly, but not celebrated as somehow the new normal and that it is OK to be this metabolically screwed up. We certainly wouldn't celebrate anorexics, well outside of some Parisian catwalks, which is equally bloody horrific.

Real People. Earlier.

NOT.

I wouldnt give a toss if she kept to herself. Eat your way to a heart attack, be my guest, you're doing humanity a service.

And because she's American, that's true - the government there doesn't pay for her healthcare.

But in civilised countries with socialised medicine, I do care about obesity. And alcoholism, and smoking - and all behaviours which push up the cost of healthcare, because the taxpayer is paying for their consequences.

Now I wouldn't call this out to someone's face, especially not in public. But I can damn well text what I want to whoever I want - and as a society we should be making this kind of anti-social behaviour unacceptable.

(And I'm saying that at someone who is obese: the funny bit is that most people will try to tell me that I'm not - that's how screwed our perception of healthy body-weight is already.)

Na anorexic people have never been given this treatment. Remember the days when Nicole Richie was like a skeleton? She was shamed non stop. I've never seen people celebrate anorexia like these body acceptance cults celebrate obesity.

As I said, I'm all for helping people get better in whatever it is, but when you draw the line and start to push your bad health habits onto others then that's where I have to draw my line.

Maybe he's not but there's a fairly solid range between looking like a GreeK God and looking like Mount f**king Olympus that doesn't disbar you from observing that someone needs to put the ****ing fork down

Quoted for truth.

I think what she did was pretty courageous. It's easy to be cynical and say she only did it for fame, but it's speculative. Fact is, she confronted an arsehole and made him look like the small man he is.

No she was acting the cunt. She mentions being a "model" and having a lot of followers on social media. She then uses this as leverage to humiliate a man who was not trying to humiliate her.

Fair enough, he might have been texting not so nice things about her but that was a private conversation and he didn't appear to have purposely tried to intimidate or upset her. He apparently didn't even mean for her to see it and he didn't appear to know her - was just making light of the fact (no pun intended) that a humongous elephant of a bint had been plonked beside him on the airplane seat. So now we're not even allowed to have negative thoughts about people or situations?

She used her position to bully and harass him.

That's fine and they should change their lifestyle but likening someone to furniture is a bit much is all I'm saying. No need to dehumanise people.

People are missing the point. He did not know that she was a spokesperson for big people when he was slagging her off.

As far as he was concerned, he was having a cheap laugh at someone further down the food chain than himself. That's sly bullying. It's not ok to do that.

Ah now in fairness, I'd say she positions herself at the front of every food chain going by the looks of her

He wasn't bullying her. He was sending a private text to someone else. Nothing to do with her. If she'd have minded her own business instead of looking around to check whether that was a phone or a Mars Bar in your mans hand, she wouldn't have been upset

What makes her "spokesperson for big people"? Just the fact that she's a loud and overweight? Was there a competitive selection process for the position?

I thought it was pretty funny. Would be better as curtains though.

How can it be bullying when he didn't interact with her at all or make any effort to communicate with her?

She's not influencing anybody mate. Nobody's going to consume 4,000 calories a day for the next five years in a bid to become like this lady, in the same way people copy David Beckham's haircuts. Obese will never be en vogue.

Oh give over. He was having a private conversation which was none of her business. He didn't say anything to her to make her feel bad about her weight or intimidate her. Go and sit beside an obese person on a flight and come back to us, it's not remotely comfortable.

She also said when she went to sit down that he started huffing and puffing and sighing and tutting and banging and clattering making it clear he did not want her beside him.

Passive aggressive behaviour.

He was trying to belittle a stranger to make himself feel good.

Not ok.

Granted a little irreverent but then she's th e one publicising it and pushing it and posting photos of herself. So I reckon she's fair game and bringing it on herself.

She's the one apparently making a living out of her "looks". If you want to make a living out of something, then it's more business than personal to criticize

"Plus sized" me hole.

100k+ followers on Instagram. Part of "Eff Your Beauty Standards" which has over 350k followers on Instagram. She's definitely influencing some people.

The fact plus sized models is a thing shows this sort of thing is becoming the norm. It's mind boggling to me but that's sadly the way the world is going...and it'll be these same women who'll be complaining why they can't get a man and spew the feminism nonsense.

I bet that she is a woeful airplane armrest-hogger also. probably just to make a point and spill her fat into his seat.

Sorry but he made it clear he did not want her there from the get go.

Huffing and puffing and slamming his seat belt.

Shes clarified she did not affect his flight in any way (apart from him hogging the whole arm rest) so what's the problem?
