A Dallas-based plus-size model and student who promotes body positivity has used her social media platform to share how she fought back against a body-shamer while on a flight.

Natalie Hage, 30, said the hurtful ordeal happened on a recent American Airlines flight to Los Angeles when she only had a middle seat available to her. She had paid extra for a seat with greater leg room.

Lots of wrong to go around here. The fat chick taking pictures of someone's private texts was way out of line, in my opinion. If you watch the video, she really blasts that guy and he apologizes profusely, but he should have told her to mind her own dang business.

Without having seen a pic of this particular plus size model, I don’t recall seeing any that I WOULDN’T want sitting on my lap much less next to me.

I always turn my phone, it isn’t anyone’s business what I text!

At first I thought it said Dallas sized model, had to read it twice. Ok, three times.

Fat shaming has been a fact of life in most non-starving cultures since forever. Get over it!

if you spill over on to someone elses seat, you need two seats.

In her video, Hage explains that she works out five times a week.

Do you sweat? It only counts as "working out" if you sweat for at least 30 minutes. If you truly worked out five times a week, you would not be a corpulent hambeast.

Lumbering from your car to the closest electric shopping cart at Walmart is not "working out".

That’s not “plus size”, that’s frickin’ OBESE!

Wow! She is Plus size plus portly. That behind could fill a seat of two.

In describing her as a plus sized model, I think they missed a few pluses.

I can see where he was uncomfortable.

Her hips are wider than my shoulders...And I wear a 54” jacket

Morbidly obese. I’m asking for a new seat if this tub is anywhere near me

[Wolfie]

Fat and entitled. What a combo.

[P.O.E.]

“Hage”

“Body positivity”, is that like the story about the Emperor’s new clothes?

“At first I thought it said Dallas sized model, had to read it twice. Ok, three times”

After seeing the photo I believe you read it right the first two times. Woah! She big.

She works out five times a week! You can’t tell?
