Insult or the truth?

Plus size model-Tess Holliday who recently made a comment in an interview that “black men love me,”  has been forced to apologise after widespread backlash.

The US model, who recently appeared in a Guardian weekend magazine spread, told crew members during the shoot: “I do admit that black men love me. I always forget that, and then I come to a black neighbourhood and I remember.”

Now, for those of us who live abroad, we always see our black brothers going in for these plus size white women—for the immigrants, I will say to be able to secure their ‘papers’. But the non immigrants do it too, though not widespread.

I am not sure if our black men have a thing for big or plus woman but there certainly seem to be a lot out there connecting with white women with such a body type.

Anyway, Holliday has apologized following the many social media stone throws.

According to the Guardian;

“The size 24 model apologised for “any hurt that my flippant comment has caused,” adding that she was taking part in an underwear shoot outside when an “older black man cat called [sic] me”.

Holliday relayed the incident to the assembled crew “jokingly telling them some semblance of what appeared in print.

“It was also meant to play into the idea that black men like bigger women, but the humour of that doesn’t come through,” she says.

The original Guardian piece reports an awkward silence followed the plus size model’s remarks. A silence that Holliday claims was not present: “To further add context, the team included two talented black women – so it was clearly not something intended to cause offence.”

She also added that, she is “not a perfect human being,” she is “doing [her] best to live up” to the standards of a role model.
