Tess Holliday Has a Ton of Baby Weight

Size-22 model Tess Holliday is pissed because she keeps posting gestating baby pictures to Instagram and people keep suggesting she’s not pregnant, just super fucking fat. Not everybody gets that with-child Gisele “you look amazing” chorus. Holliday insists she’s eight months pregnant but short of a livestreaming an ultrasound, the fat shaming world is inclined to chalk it to numerous late night runs to the Taco Bell border. Holliday insists that even if her future kid is buried beneath layers of corpulence, it’s just as healthy as a slender woman carrying a visible baby bump. Her insistence at odds with medical science which lists gestational diabetes, miscarriage, UTI, labor difficulties and emergency C-sections all at greatly increased risks with obese women. But fuck science. If you feel confident modeling lingerie with your flesh rolling out over commercial engineered suspension knickers, why not rewrite the books on prenatal care.  I’d call this one a draw. If you add sour cream and butter to the placenta I’m changing the channel.
