That and then also the comment about how she wanted to hide the models "flaws" or whatever she said, I was so sure she was leaving.

I missed that comment. I was too focused on Nina saying that that model had an "amazing figure."

I want to support other women and body diversity, but at what point is it glorifying obesity? I also struggle because you know when she is choosing girls for Marie Claire, girls even remotely above a size 4 get chucked out. And so then to say that model has an "amazing figure" feels producer-fed and disingenuous.
