Ashley Graham has built a very successful career, thanks in large part to her voluptuous figure and natural sex appeal. But now, the plus-size model is hitting out at the fashion and entertainment industries for automatically sexualizing curvier women.
Ashley, 27, spoke to Details magazine about the way girls with bodies like hers are typecast and pigeonholed into ‘sexy’ roles, creating a much narrower path for a curvy model or actress who wants to find success.
‘If you get an even curvier body, like mine, we’re automatically sexualized,’ she said. ‘If I was cast in a role in a movie, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would be the sexy girl, I would have a sex scene, I would probably have to show a little nipple. That would just be the case, because of the way my body is.’
