“Glamour” magazine did a special “plus size” issue, and Amy Schumer’s name ended up on the cover. They didn’t actually call her plus size, they just referred to her as one of the, “Women Who Inspire Us“.
Of course, the others on that list were Melissa McCarthy, Adele, and Ashley Graham, who ARE all plus size. And Amy wasn’t happy about it. She Tweeted that there’s nothing wrong with being plus size, but she’s a size 6 to 8, and plus size is a 16.
She said, “Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool’Glamour’ not glamourous.”
She also posted a video of herself on the beach in a bikini, and said,”Bottom line seems to be we are done with these unnecessary labels which seem to be reserved for women.”
“Glamour” released a statement saying, “We believe her passionate and vocal message of body positivity IS inspiring, as is the message of the many other women, of all sizes, featured.” They also pointed out that they didn’t actually call her plus size.
