Ashley Graham released a frank book of memoirs "The New Model"

You will not believe, but the superpopular model Ashley Graham was forced to fight not only with her own complexes, but also with a misunderstanding in the family! His own father humiliated the girl, rewarding her with all kinds of unpleasant nicknames. This lasted for many years and even now, being at the height of fame and earning huge money, she tolerates criticism of her dad.

It turns out that over the years the father not only reminded the girl of her imperfect figure, but also pointed out that she was devoid of charm, and even with Ashley's intellect problems.

And all would be nice if the "conflict of generations" was left in the past. But the father is still not happy with the success of his beautiful daughter, he continues to criticize her:

"As long as I can remember, my father always scolded me. He had a real talent for making compliments. He called me the insult "Duh" (it can be translated as "fool" or "brake", - Ed.), Hinting that I was not too smart. I could put up with this, that is not the same, when my career has already gained momentum, he managed to come to terms with my manager and they in two voices began to convince me to lose weight! I remember that I was very offended, because my father still saw in me a fat woman who needed to "pull herself up"

The icon of the body kit, which became an example for millions

On the eve of the presentation of the book, Ashley had a talk with the journalists of the American edition of Vogue. She said that she really wants to change the life of many girls like her:

"Maybe this is my mission? I am sure that my body as it is is already able to change the life of many people for the better. I use it as an advocacy tool for bodybuilding. As if I show that the fat on the stomach, cellulite - these are the topics that need to be talked about. In our world, this is no longer a taboo. And I want to teach women how to become inspired, to love themselves and to learn to understand their own body. "
