“I’m American so you don’t have to worry about my fat a**” – Tess Holliday fires Back at Piers Morgan

Tess Holliday has responded to Piers Morgan‘s recent post accusing Cosmopolitan UK of promoting obesity in the United Kingdom.

Taking to Twitter, Holliday stated: “To everyone saying I’m a burden to the British health care system, I’m American so you don’t have to worry about my fat ass. Worry about what horrible people you are by whining about how me being on the cover of a glossy magazine impacts your small minded life”.

Piers Morgan took to social media on Thursday to call out Cosmopolitan UK for the cover its October issue. According to Morgan, the cover which features plus-size model Tess Holliday was a misguided move which would worsen UK’s current struggle with combating obesity.

He shared via Instagram: “As Britain battles an ever-worsening obesity crisis, this is the new cover of Cosmo.
Apparently we’re supposed to view it as a ‘huge step forward for body positivity.’ What a load of old baloney.
This cover is just as dangerous & misguided as celebrating size zero models.”
