ASHLEY GRAHAM: WHY JENNIFER LAWRENCE ISN’T ‘CURVY’

In an interview for Net-A-Porter’s online magazine The Edit, model Ashley Graham, took a strong stance on Hollywood referring to Jennifer Lawrence as “curvy” stating,

Young girls don’t have much to look at, curvy women are not on covers of magazines, they’re not talked about on social media as much as other celebrities. Jennifer Lawrence is the media’s poster girl for curves — she’s tiny.  There needs to be more education in schools, because that’s where eating disorders start. It’s not just about being healthy; it’s also about loving who you are.”

She followed that taking the opportunity to further voice her opinion during her recent appearance on Access Hollywood Live.

I just feel like there’s a misconception of what Hollywood is saying as far as the  curvy body. It’s a huge disconnect for the America woman.

Graham has graced the pages of Vogue and Elle and was selected as the first face for Jennifer Lopez’s plus size clothing line.
