Tess Holliday / Ryann Maegen Hoven - Beached Landwhale model, Body positive and social justice snacktivist, and gigantic fraud

[blue gopher snakes]

Look at that dead, blue foot! She can hardly fit in this enormous chair. Her guts are absolutely suffocating under all that abdominal fat. Her ThisAss is hanging out, resting atop her barrel gut, like she thinks that’s some kind of fatty whore dazzle camo for the rest of her.

I agree with the theory that someone close to Ryann staged a failed intervention. You can hear their talking points in her tirade:
1. Appeal to Tess’ love for her children and desire to be there for them and care for them for a long time
2. Reassure Tess that she IS beautiful and that this concern is not stemming from a mean-girl urge to police her looks but from genuine love and concern.

Too bad their big mistake was expecting Tess to respond like an emotionally healthy woman rather than an injured narcissist.


No bb you is just big boned.

But it seems that some reality managed to slip through the cracks and hit her where it really hurts. Interesting; I wonder who delivered it.

It had to be someone who is enough of a name that she couldn’t just name drop them in her rant. Someone who brought up her kids, likely in a “don’t you want to live long enough to see your kids grow up” kind of way. She still pretends she’s an amazing mom so that likely cut deep too, not that she actually cares about her kids but she wants the perception that she does. Tubbers is still going to delude herself into thinking it’s healthy and nourishing to be morbidly obese.

Not surprised Ryann is having to call up old contacts to beg for work. She’s dumb enough to forget all the bridges she burned and she likely contacted someone who wanted nothing more to do with her.

Lmao, it really is a TEDx talk. Those things have zero standards. Also she was well beyond a size 22 when she was the “first” size 22 model so this is off to a great start!

Also “supermodel” is one word. Glad to see this live up to the TEDx name already.

Why the fuck was Tess on CNN?

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen her at quite that level of unhinged, Chantal-esque rage before. It seems like she had a serious narc injury.

It's interesting, because she keeps iterating the person is ugly. It shows where her values lie, how she thinks about herself, and what her fears are.

Comments on that video:

Zero mention of the kids.

Yeesh.

She still pretends she’s an amazing mom so that likely cut deep too, not that she actually cares about her kids but she wants the perception that she does. Tubbers is still going to delude herself into thinking it’s healthy and nourishing to be morbidly obese.

Tess is the kind of person who says things like "I'm a good mom!" and forces her friends and children to agree or says "I love you! Now say it back!" to her children.

Why the fuck was Tess on CNN?

Boomers like freak shows.

Tess is once again proving that she’s not a ‘plus sized’ model. Ashley Graham is a successful plus size model at 5’9” and 200 lbs, size 14. Tess is a side show at 5’3” and more than 300lbs.
if she thinks that clothing in her size is harder to find, she’s right. Manufacturing companies are looking at the trend of weight loss drugs and rightly deciding to see the whale sizes are going to trend smaller. Given her age and size, Tess is out of the running when it comes to booking her as a ’model’.
She has also stopped being charming and quirky thanks to rants about that strawberry dress fiasco. Who is she mad at, the general public that didn’t give her a butt load of likes or the pretty thin influencers who got more attention for wearing the dress? What happened to ‘pretty at any size’ that Tess kept espousing?

Holy shit Lindy West has gotten HUGE. She’s nearly double what she was a few years back. Her husband opening their marriage and bringing in his thin girlfriend appears to have driven her straight into the arms of Duncan Hines.

This was Lindy in 2022 after dropping about 70-100 lbs:

And now in 2024:

Is there a link to see the entire CNN interview online? All I could find was shorts

Not to derail the thread but oh... my God. That's the most humiliating screenshot I've seen in a while. Her body language is making me cringe myself inside out.

 

[I call shenanigans]

It sounds like Tessy is mad she sized out of another plus sized store. Maybe she's too fat to shop at Torrid or whatever now.

What are you talking about. Tess is a svelte size 24 according to all her Italy Instagram posts. She even proved it with her size 24 althleticwear. On the fat chart, that has her as a midsize fat, not even a super fat, and definitely not an infinifat. Size 24 is readily available both instore and online.

What is it with all these body positivity HAES influencers, that they are all 3XL and size 24 at most. We can clearly see they are beyond those sizes, and they’d have no issue buying clothes if they were the size they are prepared to admit to. They can’t possibly let others know what size they really are. Years ago Tess did a photoshoot showing models in different sizes wearing the same clothing. Emblazoned across her chest was size “26”, and she certainly has gained more since then.

Meanwhile, Sam at Every Size has uploaded a new Tess video

Is a "nuanced" conversation about being fat one where you talk around the ONE thing you could do to fix your problem?

 

[My cravat doesn't flutter]

I look forward to Mess's speech that will 100% be written by ChatGPT.

Girl so desperate for boyfriend that she lets him cheat on her, gets what she fucking deserves.

 

[bliblblblbbllb]

The whole tone of that clip rubs me the wrong way. It reminds me exactly of things you'll see for people struggling with cancer or T1D or blindess or infertility or soberity, just in the way it's set up. Round table podcasts and stuff. The "it's so great to have a conversation with people who understand" angle. But the difference is that they're gleefully unrepentant. They're not the people in soberity talking about how hard it is to reconnect with their families and be a better person- they're the active alcoholics bitching that it just isn't fair that they have to face the physical and social consequences of their behaviors.

I'm looking forward to her Tedx. She won't have as much ability to control the camera angles or disguise people's reactions to her.

I watched the video of the over 350 pound land whales that get free meals at the Heart Attack Grill.
Most of those tubs of lard were downright svelte compared to Tess. She has to be well over 500 pounds by now, probably closer to 600 lbs.

How can she say she's healthy, beautiful, and the rest of the garbage she spews when she's at that weight?
How many airplane seats will she have to buy when she flies to Switzerland for her Ted talk? Two, three, or the whole row?

That whole video was excruciating to watch, even though I didn't like Lindy West to start with. I'm not surprised she's blown back up.

Just wait til they strip down to their underwear.

I'm so glad this shit is losing traction & losing followers, thanks to how absolutely unlikeable all the fat activists online are and also, crap like this. It's so easy to see how miserable these cows are, they don't hide it well. Who the fuck has the time to sit around like this & talk about how addicted you are to food? They are all so out of touch, now, it's so fun to watch.

She has to be well over 500 pounds by now, probably closer to 600 lbs.

She's another super shorty, around 5'2". She's also still mobile, and almost all six hundred pounders her height are totally immobile. Her arms are monstrous, but they don't carry the same amount of fat as, say, Amber's laygs do.

I'd peg her in the low 400s, one hundred pounds heavier than she was when she did that ludicrous "Fit, Healthy, and 300 Pounds!" magazine cover some six years ago.

How many airplane seats will she have to buy when she flies to Switzerland for her Ted talk? Two, three, or the whole row?

She's a two seater. Anna Obrien is a three seater, and she's eight inches taller and at least one hundred fifty pounds heavier than Tess.
