"5ft 3in & 300lbs is NOT a ‘positive body image’ " Piers Morgan continues attack on Tess Holliday's Cosmo cover
After the Cosmo cover was released last week, Piers Morgan blasted the 33-year-old plus-size model for her weight and also blasted Cosmo for promoting such (read here).
He was called out by some people for body-shaming but he stood his ground as has now launched another attack on Tess.
On Good Morning Britain this morning, the TV personality had a debate over Tess Holliday's appearance on the cover of Cosmo. Cosmo’s Editor-In-Chief Farrah Storr appeared on the programme to defend the cover shoot.
Piers said on the show:
I would say the same about a man or a woman, my view about this. But for Cosmo to put this on their cover is wrong, dangerous and deluded.
But Farrah argued:
This is one cover, which has a larger lady on the cover, in a sea, in a world, in a culture which has venerated – since I can remember – thinness.
Are people going to look at that and go, 'Do you know what? I’m going to go and mainline doughnuts, this is what I want for my life'. Of course not. It’s patronising to say. I’m celebrating her. I am not celebrating morbid obesity.
Farrah added:
The reason she is on my cover is to show there is a different way to look.
After the show, Piers took to Twitter to continue the attack.
He wrote: "Sorry, but 5ft 3in & 300lbs is NOT a ‘positive body image’ to celebrate on the front cover of a magazine as Britain suffers from an ever-worsening obesity crisis. ?
