When model Ashley Graham, who has appeared on the cover of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, and Elle, was told by an anonymous troll on Instagram, “We thought you work out,” after she posted a pic in Dior lingerie, she was quick to answer, “Girls with cellulite and rolls can’t work out also?”

The model, who is not here for anyone’s body-shaming, has nothing to prove in terms of modeling, having appeared in campaigns for Levi’s, Marina Rinaldi, Hanes, Liz Claiborne Macy's, and Nordstrom, as well as on the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated. The model, who is comfortable with her size, has been an advocate for women with curves and body positivity, releasing a book last year, titled A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like.

Graham believes in being healthy, not thin. "EVERY TIME after I post a workout video I get comments like 'you'll never be skinny, so stop trying,' 'don't work out too hard, you'll get skinny,' 'you need your fat to be a model,' and 'why would you want to lose what made you famous?'" she wrote in an Instagram post in October 2017. "For the record — I workout to: stay healthy, feel good, get rid of jet lag, clear my head, show big girls we can move like the rest of 'em, stay flexible and strong, have more energy. I don't work out to lose weight or my curves, because I love the skin I'm in."

In June, when an Instagram user asked if she was pregnant, Graham responded, "That's just called fat." And after seeing an Instagram account that compared "fat" models to "real" models, she wrote, “I know I’m being a little petty by posting these stupid photos of somebody who wrote ‘real model’ and ‘fat model,’ but I will let you know nothing defines what a ‘real’ model or a ‘fat’ model or ‘fake’ model is."

The thirty-year-old model is a defender of the Health at Every Size (HAES) movement, which “supports people of all sizes in addressing health directly by adopting healthy behaviors. It is an inclusive movement, recognizing that our social characteristics, such as our size, race, national origin, sexuality, gender, disability status, and other attributes, are assets, and acknowledges and challenges the structural and systemic forces that impinge on living well.”
