Model Denied Life Insurance Over Weight
27 Feb
Summary
- Model Tess Holliday claims AAA denied her life insurance due to weight.
- She cited no health issues, daily workouts, and a non-smoking lifestyle.
- Holliday previously faced weight-related comments on a United flight.

Model Tess Holliday recently shared her experience of being denied life insurance coverage by AAA. She claimed that despite being a 40-year-old non-smoker with no health issues and a daily exercise routine, her weight made her ineligible. Holliday expressed her disbelief and frustration, describing the medical system as 'fatphobic.'
This situation is not Holliday's first public encounter regarding her weight. Last fall, she reported an uncomfortable incident on a United Airlines flight. A flight attendant reportedly approached her to discuss her size and the potential health implications, and shared an anecdote about his sister facing discrimination on flights due to her weight. Holliday stated she spoke with United, who assured her they would address the issue and suggested sensitivity training.
Holliday also recently shared a video wearing a bikini with the word 'fat' on it, promoting self-acceptance and the #effyourbeautystandards movement she founded.
