    A plus-size influencer who previously demanded airlines comp larger passengers for extra seats is now asking hotels around the world to make a number of changes to better accommodate overweight guests — including by making the hallways wider. In a video posted to her TikTok last month, Jaelynn Chaney listed several ways hotels can create “size-inclusive” amenities. She said she is “on a mission to revolutionize the travel industry, and make it a more accessible, accepting, accommodating place for all,” adding: “The needs of plus-sized travelers matter just as much as anybody else.” “We deserve an environment that respects our...

    SNIP Model Denise Bidot has broken up with the New Orleans native, confirming their split on Instagram, where she posted, “Sometimes love just isn’t enough” alongside a broken-heart emoji. Love B Scott reports that the split was caused by the “Mahogany” rapper’s support for President Trump, with his recent photo op with 45 being the last straw. “She broke up with Wayne,” a source told the site. “It wasn’t just his Trump support, but that was a big part.”

    Radio personality Shavonne Patrice Owens, 37, says she experienced weight discrimination firsthand when she applied for a daycare job in Huntsville, Alabama, two years ago. Despite having all the qualifications for the job, Owens says her friend — a former employee of the daycare center in question (whose employment later terminated) — told her the reason she was ultimately passed over for the job was because of her weight. Owens, who was 525 pounds at 5’11” at the time of her interview with the daycare center, said that this incident “hurt for a second, just for a second… but I...

    I know many of you are feeling that there is a disturbance in the universe. It feels like the Evil Empire has committed to indicting the ham sandwich in order to keep it’s fight with the Republic alive. ….But it’s Friday people! FLOTUS Friday to be specific; we have more important issues to address.Today FLOTUS Friday is taking on the Left’s ridiculous attempt to convince us that “super-sized” models are just as beautiful, just as attractive, just as desirable  (and much more attainable!) as the traditional super model. We all know that’s simply not true, Super model Melania in her...

    When she was 16, Crystal Renn signed a $250,000 modeling contract and moved to the city. But after starving herself for years to stay at 95 pounds, she gave it all up to become a plus-size model -- and finally, at size 12, achieved major success. With her memoir, "Hungry," due out Sept. 8, Renn tells her story to The Post. Nine years ago, when I was 14 years old, a modeling scout spotted me at an etiquette class in my hometown of Clinton, Miss., and pulled me aside to show me a photo of supermodel Gisele in a clingy...

    Milan Fashion week kicked off with another band of glamorous models sashaying down the runway, yet there was one notable difference: they had flesh on their bones.With the row over too-thin models rumbling on, it was ironic that the opening show in the famously chic Italian fashion capital featured clothes for the fuller-figured. Size 14 and 16 models strutted their stuff at the Elena Miro fashion show, displaying busts, hips and bottoms with abandon. Curves were confidently on show and body mass indices, the measure of body fat based on height and weight and the rating that has caused so...

    TONY Award-winning actress Marissa Jaret Winokur was humiliated by a bunch of snotty Rodeo Drive salesclerks when she shopped for a dress to wear as a presenter at this coming Sunday's Tony Awards. In an episode reminiscent of the scene in "Pretty Woman" when Julia Roberts' call-girl character is humiliated by store attendants, Winokur found out a few days ago how a plus-size girl gets treated in America's chicest shopping spots. .............. Winokur went to Gucci, where she saw a dress in her size that she liked. But she was immediately told by the saleswoman: "Your boobs won't fit...
