"Glamour’s new plus size-focused stand-alone issue “Chic At Any Size”—part of a partnership with Lane Bryant—has received praise, but one star featured is, if not mad about the inclusion, questioning it.
The issue is devoted to style, and alongside cover star and model-of-the moment Ashley Graham (who has appeared on Sport’s Ilustrated and Maxim in the past few months, and is a Lane Bryant model), you’ll see the coverline “Women Who Inspire Us: Melissa McCarthy, Adele, Amy Schumer & Ashley Graham.”
On Twitter and Instagram, however, Schumer took umbrage at being included on a cover devoted to plus size. Not, she says, because there’s anything wrong with being called plus size, but because she doesn’t label herself that way and wasn’t informed she’d be included.”*
