This is a weird one. Former Miss New Jersey Sameera Khan came after Ashley Graham on Twitter last night with a tweet using pics of her to illustrate the statement "The fat positivity movement is getting out of hand." She got a lot of pushback on that (and all the attention she was looking for most likely) and doubled down, saying that she was dressed like "a (fat) wh*re" in the photos, calling it nasty, and questioning why a mother of three would be out in public in that outfit. Definitely not cool, but everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose.
She didn't stop there. I don't understand the angle, but further tweets went on to make it political somehow, and to claim there are studies showing that poor, stressed out men like the Ashley Graham body type, while wealthier, more successful men prefer slender women.
It stirred up a lot of ugliness, with Khan sharing some pretty hateful responses she received from Ashley Graham fans.
All pretty baffling, but I felt the need to weigh in and proclaim my continued support for Ashely Graham. I think she looks awesome in the photos Ms. Khan used as her initial example. And this seemed like a good time to share more pics of her.
