Ashley Graham appeared on Naomi Campbell's YouTube show, discussing Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue, discussing the backlash she received from fellow model Cheryl Tiegs. Ashley Graham knows that Ashley dreams about her body cultivation, plus size model and her stool for Sports Illustrated's cover. This year was 2016 and Ashley is the first plus size model to complete the special edition. Not everyone was excited to see Ashley. Some were too big when I thought Ashley's size (16 years old) had a negative comment. When this issue hit the news stand, several people shared critical opinions on social media, including the former model Cheryl Tiegs, who was now 72 years old. Of course, on Cheryl's Day, the plus size model would not have taken the magazine cover. However, Cheryl's comment on Ashley did not go well.
Indeed, Cheryl's comments sparked a lot of controversy and anger and had to apologize!
When she talked to Naomi Campbell, she didn't call Cheryl by name, but everyone knew who she was.
Naomi, actually right after that [Sports Illustrated] Cover I met you. It was in CFDAs and we were walking on the red carpet. We had a quick conversation because there was another model that just called. She said I was very big, and women of my size should not be on the cover. ”

When Cheryl Tiegs first commented, she provoked anger nationwide. Cheryl said:
“I don't like talking about full figure women because the waist should be less than 35, so it's attractive. [inches]”
Sheryl made it clear that she didn't think Ashley Graham could be healthy on her own scale. Ashley said she exercised regularly and was actually healthy.
