Tess Holliday is Here to Say: Eff Your Beauty Standards!

Raised By Ricki with Ricki Lake and Kalen Allen

10-11-2022 • 45 minutes

The 90s were no stranger to toxic ideas about what people’s bodies should look like. While we may still struggle with anti-fat bias today, fortunately we also have icons like Tess Holliday. She’s a businesswoman, activist, one of the world’s most famous plus-size models, and Ricki’s good friend! In a deeply open conversation, Tess, Kalen, and Ricki talk about the pressures that come when your weight is your brand. They talk about the visibility of being plus-size and having an eating disorder, Taylor Swift’s scale scene in the “Anti-Hero” music video, and more. Plus, Tess talks publicly for the first time about a dream gig that almost happened but didn’t.

Please note, Raised By Ricki contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
