        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t cross <strong>Ashley Graham</strong>.</p><p>During an interview for fellow supermodel <strong>Naomi Campbell</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;No Filter With Naomi&#8221; YouTube Series on Thursday, the 32-year-old stunner discussed the controversy surrounding her 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.</p><figure id="attachment_5215571"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ashley-graham-sports-illustrated-cover.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ashley-graham-sports-illustrated-cover.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/ashley-graham-sports-illustrated-cover.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Ashley Graham on the cover of Sports Illustrated&#8217;s Swimsuit issue in 2016</span><span class="credit">Sports Illustrated</span></figcaption></figure><p>&#8220;There was another model who was so upset that I had gotten the cover and she said I was very large and that women my size should not be on the cover,&#8221; Graham, who was the first size-16 model to earn the honor, recalled.</p><p>&#8220;You can go look it up,&#8221; the Nebraska native added, declining to name the critic in question but hinting that her name begins with the letter &#8220;C.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s almost certain Graham was referring to catwalk legend Cheryl Tiegs, who <strong>famously slammed her cover</strong>.</p><p>&#8220;Actually I don’t like it that we’re talking about full-figured women because it’s glamorizing them and your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches],&#8221; the former SI star, 72, <strong>told E! News</strong> in 2016. &#8220;That’s what Dr. Oz said and I’m sticking to it.&#8221;</p><p>Added Tiegs, &#8220;Her face is beautiful – beautiful – but I don’t think it’s healthy in the long run.&#8221;</p><p>Faced with backlash, the fashion icon later tried to clarify her comments, <a href="https://twitter.com/CherylTiegs/status/703309129885065217" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeting</a>, &#8220;My sincere apologies to everyone I have hurt.

What is beauty? What is sexy?&#8221;</p><p>Campbell was more direct, telling Graham, &#8220;I don’t think that person had the right to say that. It’s your time now.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
