Tess Holliday: Here's everything about the plus-size Cosmo model who shut down Piers Morgan like a boss

Piers Morgan feels Tess's Cosmopoliton cover 'glorifies obesity,' one of the major problems in the UK. Tess retorted she's from the US so they should shut up.
UPDATED AUG 31, 2018

Social media, publications, and several other outlets have been buzzing with the news of British talk show host Piers Morgan being shut down by Tess Holliday, for apparent fat shaming. It all started with Morgan having an issue with the latest Cosmopolitan cover, featuring Tess on it. The 33-year-old poses in a green swimsuit on the October issue of Cosmo and looks absolutely stunning in her ever so vivacious avatar, where she embraces her plus size with grace and pride. But Morgan's issue with the cover is that Tess - who is a UK size 20 - is 'glorifying obesity.'
