In 2016, she criticized Sports Illustrated for featuring plus-size model Ashley Graham on the cover, stating that it could glamorize unhealthy body standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5650dfb7d429b076d43e950382d47fbc\">Tiegs argued, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s healthy in the long run,\u201d referencing wellness perspectives from experts like Dr. Oz. The remarks led to widespread media discussion, with some interpreting her comments as body-shaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-84f0b57e6953229628aeafa4d1f2cd3d\">Tiegs later clarified in 2017 that her intention was misrepresented, explaining, \u201cIt\u2019s just about finding your own healthy path. That\u2019s all. I don\u2019t know her; I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s healthy or not.
