Tess Holliday Fat Shames an Uber Driver

April 24, 2017 | celebrity | Lex Jurgen | 0 Comments

If you’re a model, you have one job requirement: don’t get fat. If you’re an obese model, you literally have no job responsibilities. Show up to the disturbing fetish shoot somewhere close to the appointed hour.

British size queen model Tess Holliday abhors when people question her health. They stopped questioning how she calls herself a model years ago. During her pregnancy she penned many open letters about how her doctor said she was epitome of well-being. Maybe she was lying. Her doctor was in a bad spot since he’s not allowed to publicly share his real findings. 

During a recent Uber run Holliday blobbed herself into the backseat where she recorded the driver asking her about her cholesterol level:

Hey uber I don’t pay more to use your “black car” service to be told that there’s no way I could possibly be healthy because I’m fat & then questioning it. No one should have to tolerate this at any level of the services you offer. I’m fat. I also have a fat wallet & will no longer be using your services. Ever. Also after I told him I was healthy he turned the radio off & changed the subject.

This could’ve made for the perfect seventeenth uber boycott of April if not for Holliday captioning her photo of the driver’s belly, “My driver who is fat is questioning if I’m healthy”. The f-word. The word whose name shall never be spoken. The evils of body shaming boiled down into three letters. Ring the bells of Hades.

Holliday received a backlash, not only from people who can clearly see she’s obese and privileged and demanding everybody consider her in the manner she prescribes, but from her large and in-charge matronly followers. Double standards are loosely granted in the Social Justice Warrior world, but a body shaming advocate calling somebody fat is beyond the pale. 

Holliday was forced to add an explanation:

Edited to add: saying my driver is fat was obviously being used as a descriptor & not to insult him. Also I did not show his face or use his name when filming, it was to be able to show what I deal with daily & why this behavior is unacceptable from anyone.

Hmm. Descriptor you say? Often times the victim must victimize others to reveal the true depth of their own victimhood. It’s in the Hammurabi code for online justice. Also two of the Death Wish sequels.

Nobody seemed to buy it, but ultimately worshipping an obese model deity requires unconditional faith. To question is to reveal yourself a heretic. What’s next? Assuming that a massively large woman in an industrial grade sports bra who is shredding the shocks on your Uber ride is possibly not doing herself any fitness favors? Perish the thought. We have thought police for such deviant expressions.

Guaranteed the complete video footage of this Uber ride beyond the eight seconds posted tells an entirely different story.
