Cheryl Tiegs, a former Sports Illustrated cover model, is dissatisfied with the magazine’s decision to feature plus-size model Ashley Graham on one of three swimsuit edition covers this year.

Graham is the magazine’s first plus-size model to be on the cover. Tiegs expressed her dissatisfaction with the decision to E! News.

“I don’t like that we’re talking about full-figured women because it’s glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That’s what Dr. Oz said, and I’m sticking to it,” Tiegs told E! News in a new interview. “No, I don’t think it’s healthy.”

“No, I don’t think it’s healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don’t think it’s healthy in the long run.”

As a “nod to female empowerment,” the magazine chose three distinct covers for its annual swimsuit issue, which also features MMA champion Ronda Rousey and model Hailey Clauson.

Graham, who is 28 years old, was overjoyed with her stunning SI cover when ET spoke with her earlier this month.

The size 14-16 model told ET exclusively, “I’m really excited to know that Sports Illustrated is wanting to include women like us. There is no perfect body, and we shouldn’t be striving for perfection anymore.”

Graham claimed she preferred to be referred to as ‘curvasexalicious’ rather than a plus-sized or ‘fuller figured’ model on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I like to call it, like, curvasexalicious,” Graham said.

“Sizing has gotten frightening. There’s a double 0 now. It’s a little scary on both spectrums of weight. I’m not a promoter of anorexia. I’m not a promoter of obesity. I think we have to promote women to be healthy at every size as long as they’re getting off the couch and moving their body.”
