The HuffPost writes, “Tess Holliday Tells Critics ‘Not To Worry About My Fat Ass’ On Cosmo Cover“.

Tess Holliday isn’t tolerating Piers Morgan’s comments about her Cosmopolitan UK cover after the British TV personality slammed her presence on the magazine’s October issue.

“To everyone saying I’m a burden to the British health care system, I’m american so you don’t have to worry about my fat ass,” the 33-year-old wrote. “Worry about what horrible people you are by whining about how me being on the cover of a glossy magazine impacts your small minded life.”
