Model and body-positivity advocate Tess Holliday has revealed that she was told to “lose weight” by a flight attendant while traveling with her son on a United Airlines flight departing Tampa, Florida.

Holliday told People that the incident occurred in the first-class cabin when she accidentally pressed a call button while using the restroom.

“I was in the restroom, and my hip hit the flight attendant call button,” she said.
