Not everyone is celebrating Sports Illustrated's decision to put plus-size model Ashley Graham on one of its three swimsuit issue covers this year.
Former model Cheryl Tiegs, who herself has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue multiple times, criticized the magazine for what she sees as promoting an unhealthy lifestyle.
"I don't like that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That's what Dr. Oz said, and I'm sticking to it," Tiegs told E! News in a new interview. "No, I don't think it's healthy."
But Tiegs, 68, did compliment Graham's looks.
"Her face is beautiful. Beautiful," she commented. "But I don't think it's healthy in the long run."
When ET chatted with 28-year-old Graham earlier this month, the model could not have been happier with her gorgeous SI cover.
