Stranger In Doctor’ s Waiting Room Can’ t Keep Her Opinion To Herself Fat-Shames A Famous Model Gets Shut Down

Jonas Grinevičius and
Ilona Baliūnaitė
Well-known American model Tess Holliday is going viral on Instagram for a video that she shared. The 36-year-old LA-based body positivity activist and the founder of 'Eff Your Beauty Standards' shared how she shut down a woman criticizing her for her weight while waiting for an appointment at the doctor's office with a couple of very snappy comebacks. The video quickly gained popularity, and at the time of writing sits at over 144k views. It also sparked an important discussion about how even some of the most recognizable celebrities can still bear the brunt of body shaming. Scroll down to watch Tess' full video, dear Pandas. When you're done, let us know in the comments what you thought of the entire situation and if you would have done anything differently. Bored Panda reached out to Hollywood-based celebrity expert Mike Sington for a few comments on how stars ought to react to their critics. "My advice on what to do with haters and critics either online or in person is to always ignore them. Once you respond and engage with them, you're expending unnecessary energy feeding into the hate. There are exceptions, however. If you feel your response can protect others and defend a larger group, you may feel a response is a responsibility you can't ignore," he told us. According to celebrity expert Mike, the more popular a celebrity is, the more haters they're going to have. Scroll down for the rest of our interview with him.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by T E S S H🍒L L I D A Y (@tessholliday) Celebrity expert Mike, from LA, told Bored Panda that having haters "comes with the territory of being in the public eye." In short, the more popular you are, the more critics you will likely have. However, there is also an upside to being well-known. "On the flip side though, the more popular a celebrity is, the more admirers they're going to have too, so it's certainly not all bad," he said. Bored Panda also wanted to get Mike's opinion on why some people like to make fun of stars. "People love to make fun of celebrities in an attempt to get a response. Often, that's the only reason they're doing it. Somehow, it validates their existence if they can get a high-profile person to respond to them. If you think about it, it's kind of sad." Image credits: tessholliday Tess immediately drew her critic's attention to the fact that she's doing pretty well as a world-renowned model. In fact, she's so well-known, she has a whopping 2.5 million fans on Instagram and another half a million on TikTok. However, the line that made a lot of internet users do a double-take was when the woman criticizing her said, "You know, I just stop eating when I'm not hungry anymore." Tess came back with: "Bodies are weird." Then the nurse called her name and that was the end of that interaction. The model revealed last May that she struggles with anorexia. "People said I was lying. There are people who believe I was saying this to get attention. I've had some people say, 'You're doing this to stay relevant.' I laugh because I know it's untrue, but it's so indicative of what a large problem this is," Tess wrote on Today about how people reacted to this piece of news. "I feel grateful that I'm tough enough to talk about this, but I've since taken a lot of steps backwards in my recovery. I've regressed. I haven't eaten today. It's 11 o'clock and I've had two sips of coffee, and I feel sick. This has been extremely hard on my mental and physical health." Tess believes that people should be able to eat as much as they want and whatever they want without being criticized. She also embraces the word 'fat' and thinks that a woman's size should not dictate their fashion choices. This isn't the first time that Bored Panda has featured model Tess. You'll find our previous article about her very first modeling photoshoot right here.

She's a 'model' because there are so many morbidly obese people in the US and they need to sell sh*t to them and those people are not going to buy a shirt or dress from someone who is a lot thinner. She's not just big and it's not just her genes: she has a serious health condition that will probably shorten her life by decades. 41 41points reply Load More Replies... K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Lance you absolute weirdo she's international not just the US ffs. The UK has a weight problem too and I just know for a fact all the men commenting about this woman's body is overweight themselves and deeply insecure. She exists just like all other body types exist. There is a market for every single friggin body type out in the world. Are you a child that does not know this fact about human kind? 8 8points reply 13 13 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 8 months ago (edited) Overweight woman here! She's. Not. Healthy. And shouldn't be a model for ANYTHING. If I were her size the appoinment for the gastric bypass would have been made yesterday. This has nothing to do with hate or insecurity and everything to do with bloody realism. 23 23points reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Ok so a person that chronically smokes and gets lung cancer shouldn't be a model either? Every single underweight model shouldn't be a model either which is pretty much all of them. You're saying just bc someone has a job in the public eye and you know they're not healthy they should not exist? Wtf??? So people that can't afford gastric bypass deserve to live being ridiculed and aren't allowed to like themselves? No one on this earth is saying being obese is healthy ffs!!!! She exists she's allowed to like herself, others are allowed to like themselves just bc you hate yourself does not mean everyone else should hate themselves. Get a F*****g grip! This is only bc she's confident that's it. If she was crying about being overweight you'd be fine w her. That's what's so sad it's about controlling a strangers life and the lives of others that identify w her. She is not claiming to be something she is not like every other midel 4 4points reply Judy Tjerkstra Judy Tjerkstra Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 6 months ago I have had gastric bypass.

Keep up with your psychology studies. -4 -4points reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago She's just living her life making a living just like all other models that are way too thin. The point she's making is no one should be giving her unsolicited advice or comments about how she looks and that goes for the "anorexic" models as well. The ones that starve themselves know how they look just like the ones that don't. Who gives anyone the right to say anything about a strangers body while doing their daily errands. There's a market for every body type out there and yes 65% of US citizens are overweight and 38% of that are obese. It really says a lot about our food quality in the US and it seems mostly women are tortured and picked on about their weight even though it's more men that are obese 14 14points reply Jacob Rosenberg (Swedemire) Jacob Rosenberg (Swedemire) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago You know there's a pretty big gap of healthy weight between anorexic and morbidly obese, right? My point is to not normalize obesity or celebrate it. Don't call them 'plus size', plus size is plus size, morbidly obese is way beyond plus size. 15 15points reply Mistiekim Mistiekim Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Ummm who is celebrating it? The words plus size have the same impact as obese. Or morbidly obese. You still get looked down on. You still get left out. You still get made fun of. You still get bullied. You still get unsolicited advice. You still feel like you are the worst person ever. So take your little preachy attitude and try to understand that NO ONE celebrates an overweight individual. And unless you really know the reason for it (mental health, medications or medical condition, etc.) you do not judge. 10 10points reply Potato Potato Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I don't see how modeling clothes is "celebrating" it. Do you want us to run around naked? We need clothes too. We need to see what those clothes look like on our shape before we waste money on something. And if someone looks at an obese person and thinks "yes, that is what I want to look like" guess what? That's their choice. You don't want to be obese? Then don't. No one is holding a fork to your head. 8 8points reply holly smethurst holly smethurst Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago No but we are paying for your healthcare. Why should we have to pay billions because you want to eat too much? 0 0points reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Jacob did you choose to not understand what I wrote or are you purposely being obtuse? The only bodies that are celebrated are the absolute thin to anorexic. No one celebrates obesity. Where the hell are you people getting this s**t from? You think bc this woman merely exists and there is a marker for her looks she is celebrated? Only a man would think this crap. If a woman is over a 120 lbs she is considered fat and grotesque by many and tortured and belittled for it. Get a friggin grip. Obese friggin people exist ffs do not comment to a stranger about merely existing bc you don't like it. Get over yourself. I can't stand bald men but I'm not going around telling them to hide and to not exist and to not be famous for it. Baldness can be helped just like you think people can lose weight it can also be a sign of being unhealthy let's crap on that too ??? 2 2points reply Jacob Rosenberg (Swedemire) Jacob Rosenberg (Swedemire) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago "Hurr durr obese people exist, being bald can be a sign of being unhealthy" You're not particularly bright, that's a given. 0 0points reply Louloubelle Louloubelle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago I agree with everything you've said. But at the end of the day, it's no one's business but her own. In no universe should anyone comment on someone else's body. And while, as a US citizen, I agree we have issues with food and obesity, we shouldn't be the poster child for it when other countries have their share of obesity. 11 11points reply Adriaan Verhelle Adriaan Verhelle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago She sure as hell is hardly opposed against unsolicited advice for someone who makes a living off it. -1 -1point reply K Witmer K Witmer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Yep she sells clothes to the obese that's her job. She does not advertise a lie. She knows she's obese and she knows her target audience. If you're not her audience don't buy from her don't follow her but sure as s**t don't comment on an obese persons weight that you do not know in a doctors office if you are not her doctor. Plain and simple. If someone commented on my 20 lb weight gain after I went through menopause I would tell them to go f**k themselves. 1 1point reply Adriaan Verhelle Adriaan Verhelle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago (edited) 60 years ago people had the exact same reaction as you about commenting on people's smoking and drinking habits. Yet here we are today, socially accepting that we should prevent people from smoking and overconsumption of alcohol and frowning upon the past when it was the norm to not only accept, but actively introduce kids to tobacco and alcohol. I hope one day, we can also look back in disbelieve about how in 2022 society dictated we should embrace obesity instead of fighting against it with every possible tool we have. 4 4points reply Susie Elle Susie Elle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago (edited) It's difficult when an industry does good by including people of various shapes and sizes while at the same time some of those shapes and sizes are unhealthy. You want to show that people come in all shapes and sizes. However, I kind of do agree with you that there's a big gap between being plus size and being extremely overweight. I want everyone to feel that they belong as much as the next person but I don't want obesity to be seen as something that doesn't matter. It does, for your health it very much does. On the other hand, it doesn't give anyone the right to just start lecturing you about your weight or whatever. 7 7points reply Id row Id row Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago There's a difference between plus size and morbidly obese, but the morbidly obese choose to stay in denial because there's no nice way to categorize people and clothes for people that big. Plus size doesn't sound too bad. Enormous does. 2 2points reply Paulette Rockir Paulette Rockir Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Well, we are very unhealthy here. 1 1point reply Sonja Sonja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Hi, no, it is not. It is everything from nr. 40 up. My friend, whoose weight is around 48kg, but after 3 kids right after another she gained bigger butt, breasts and of course a skin on belly. So, she transformed to nr. 40 in no efforts of overeating. Plus size means everything other than normal thin models. Too long legs? Use plus size. Too big butt to small body? Plus size. it doesn't have to do anything with obese, jeez.. -2 -2points reply Susie Elle Susie Elle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago (edited) I humbly disagree if you were to look at the models that are portrayed for plus size clothing. Almost all of them are a little further than just carrying a bit of extra weight. I want them to feel beautiful, but it's not that anything over 40 is considered plus size. Where I live, we don't really have 'plus size' categories, we just have larger sizes, at best we have a 'tall' category or a 'petite' one. Not everyone can help needing a bigger size, but the vast majority of obesity comes from an unhealthy diet. 3 3points reply Kines Tezja Kines Tezja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Yeah, people should mind their business, Yeah, nobody should bodyshame anyone because you don't know what this person may be going through... but also yeah, this level of obesity in not healthy and may shorten your life. 78 78points reply Marcellus II Marcellus II Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Swap "may" for "will" and you'd be correct over all.

So, she transformed to nr. 40 in no efforts of overeating. Plus size means everything other than normal thin models. Too long legs? Use plus size. Too big butt to small body? Plus size. it doesn't have to do anything with obese, jeez.. -2 -2points reply Susie Elle Susie Elle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago (edited) I humbly disagree if you were to look at the models that are portrayed for plus size clothing. Almost all of them are a little further than just carrying a bit of extra weight. I want them to feel beautiful, but it's not that anything over 40 is considered plus size. Where I live, we don't really have 'plus size' categories, we just have larger sizes, at best we have a 'tall' category or a 'petite' one. Not everyone can help needing a bigger size, but the vast majority of obesity comes from an unhealthy diet. 3 3points reply Kines Tezja Kines Tezja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Yeah, people should mind their business, Yeah, nobody should bodyshame anyone because you don't know what this person may be going through... but also yeah, this level of obesity in not healthy and may shorten your life. 78 78points reply Marcellus II Marcellus II Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Swap "may" for "will" and you'd be correct over all. Let alone all the ongoing ailments like knee pains once you're 30 or so. 21 21points reply Load More Replies...

What I don't get about the strangers question is ... what makes them think that the woman ISN'T trying to lose weight? It's an audacious assumption. Weight doesn't come off overnight. Maybe she's there literally to talk to her doctor about it. 12 12points reply ilikeplants ilikeplants Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Still none of your business. 3 3points reply Kines Tezja Kines Tezja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Totally right, it's not my business if someone slowly kills themselves. 0 0points reply Julie Pate Julie Pate Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Until she wants to use my tax dollars to pay for her inevitable knee surgeries and hospital stays from the heart attacks that are coming her way. -1 -1point reply Cecily Holland Cecily Holland Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago This 0 0points reply Oopsydaisy Oopsydaisy Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago This comment is hidden.

I don't whinge about 'my' tax dollars going to support your pointless crotch goblins, who won't contribute anything to society.
