Panamanian influencer and plus-sized model Gracie Bon has stirred debate online after revealing she needs two chairs to eat at a restaurant.
Known for her advocacy of body positivity and her curvy figure, Bon has built a significant following of over 6 million on Instagram, where she promotes self-love and confidence.
In a video shared on social media, Bon recounted how her visit to a restaurant was marred by negative attention.
Her claims sparked a range of reactions online. Some commenters were unsupportive, with one remarking: “You weren’t born this way, so don’t cry about body-shaming,” while another said: “God didn’t give you that. Your doctor did.”
However, others defended Bon, with one follower writing: “You are beautiful just the way God made you! People are just jealous,” and another adding: “I’m sorry people are so cruel. You are beautiful.”
Bon has frequently addressed scrutiny over her appearance. While she denies undergoing procedures such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), she has been vocal about her journey, including significant weight loss.
Responding to criticism, she shared a side-by-side comparison of herself before and after losing weight, captioning it: “WHAT GOD GAVE ME.”
She highlighted how she has faced judgment both before and after her transformation, emphasizing that she has learned to embrace her body despite societal pressures.
Bon also expressed frustration over persistent rumors of cosmetic surgery, reiterating in one post that her body is natural: “Sorry I’m not ashamed anymore of my curves and I’ll not hate my body because you hate it.”
Despite her statements, some followers remain skeptical, with one commenting: “Are you sure it’s not BBL? Show old pics.”
The influencer has previously shared difficulties she experiences due to her size, including issues with airplane seating.
In one post, she petitioned airlines to create larger seats to accommodate plus-sized passengers.
She has also called out visitors to Disneyland for body shaming her when she was with her family.
But now, it’s a visit to a restaurant that has Bon back in the headlines.
The model, widely recognized for her 55-inch backside, has sparked discussions after posting a video showcasing her struggle to fit into public seating.
In the clip, shared on her Instagram, a restaurant owner provided two chairs to accommodate her curves, drawing both support and skepticism from fans.
One pens: “One seat for each cheek!”
Another laughs: “Does she need two toilets, too?”
