Plus-Size Model Kate Kope Reacts to Being Told She’s ‘Not That Fat’


Kate Kope shared her reaction to being told she’s 'not that fat,' addressing beauty standards and body-shaming as a plus-size model

“There’s nothing quite like getting humbled on your early morning @delta flight,” Kope, 27, captioned a TikTok video shared earlier this week, in which she detailed an interaction she claimed she had with a woman sitting next to her on a plane. “If you ever want to feel better about yourself — I got off a flight the other day and the woman sitting next to me asked what I did for a living,” Kope detailed in the video. I think people almost want to comfort me and let me know that I’m not fat, as if I have allowed the fashion industry to convince me otherwise for labeling me as a ‘curve’ model.
