The modelling industry and its beauty standards have again come under the spotlight as influencer and plus size blogger, Thickleeyonce, speaks up against classifying newly crowned Miss SA Sasha-Lee Olivier as "plus size".
She was responding to a tweep who congratulated the new queen for being the first plus size model to hold the Miss SA title, after she took over from Zozibini Tunzi who is currently serving her year-long reign as Miss Universe.
Thickleeyonce also identifies as a plus size model and says Sasha-Lee is much slimmer than she is.
“If she is plus size then what are we?," she asked, before blaming the media for what she called an inaccurate representation of women's body sizes.
“The representation of women's sizes in media is so inaccurate, it's truly disappointing and disheartening.”
