Blogger Gracie Bon, known for her curvy figure, sparked a debate after posting a viral video highlighting the difficulties she faces fitting into airplane seats. In the video, she expressed frustration with how airline seats, aisles, and seatbelts are not designed for curvier bodies, despite flying first class. Gracie, who has a large bottom, called for airlines to make larger seats, stating, “Airplanes are too small for big people. It’s 2024—bodies are changing, so planes should too.”
Her video, which gained over 81K likes, divided opinions. Some commenters criticized her, suggesting she buy two seats, while others agreed, empathizing with her struggle. Gracie also addressed rumors about her body, clarifying she only had a tummy tuck and that her hips are naturally large. Despite backlash, she continues advocating for more inclusive designs for airline seating.
