After landing on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in February, Kate Upton has quickly become one of the hottest models in the world.
Upton’s healthy weight has been the recent target of backlash in the model industry.
In response to a pro-anorexia website that called the blonde bombshell “thick” and “vulgar,” Upton fired back.
“I’m not going to starve just to be thin. I want to enjoy life and I can’t if I’m not eating and miserable,” Upton said, according to The Sun.
Many insiders from the fashion industry came to Kate Upton’s defense, including Lesley Jane Seymour, editor-in-chief of MORE magazine.
“Running this site where you actually praise women for staying emaciated and skinny and then to go out there and then track someone who has a normal body, I mean, she’s got issues,” Seymour said.
“It’s absurd. Kate is gorgeous and very healthy,” said a spokesman for Upton.
And the greatness of Kate Upton seems to go deeper than just her impressive physique.
“Kate was always a stand-out. You only have to look at her yearbook photo to see how pretty she was. She attracted a lot of attention, even more so when she started to fill out with her figure. People really noticed her then," said a former classmate of Kate Upton from Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, according to Celebrity-Gossip.net.
“The nice thing about Kate was that she was always so happy," the schoolmate added.
"She would always be smiling and was just so nice to be around. I never heard anyone say anything nasty about her.”
Surprisingly, the incredible figure of Kate Upton hasn’t always been her asset.
"Everyone would go, 'She's not pretty. She doesn't have boobs," Upton said of her youth.
"So I always had boob envy. And when I finally went through my growth spurt and they appeared I just loved them. That's why I like boobs, because I didn't have them, then I got them."
That’s rather hopeful for the average girls out there.
Love her or hate her, there seem to be enough reasons for the world to focus on Kate Upton.
