Playboy model Hayley Hasselhoff says she wasn't 'glamorizing obesity' with history-making curvy cover
Fox News
Hayley Hasselhoff became the first curve model to land a European Playboy cover in 2021. Her Playboy Germany cover was shot by Ellen von Unwerth.
"The biggest misconception [curve models] get is that we are glamorizing obesity," Hasselhoff told Fox News Digital. "That’s probably the biggest question I’ve been asked around the world. In the 10 years of my career, I would hear, ‘Do you feel like you’re glamorizing obesity?’ And I would say, ‘No. I feel like I’m making someone feel better in their skin and that’s a beautiful thing.’ I think everyone has the right to feel comfortable, beautiful, valued and desired in their skin, no matter what shape or size they are."

There are other "hurtful" misconceptions curve models face, Hasselhoff pointed out.
