\"51883203<\/a>Glamour<\/em> magazine is under some hot water after naming Amy Schumer on the cover of their all-plus-size issue without her consent. Schumer was named next to Adele and Ashley Graham as one of the \u201cwomen that inspire us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress shared a photo of the magazine with her fans that stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women. Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. @GlamourMag put me in their plus size issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn\u2019t feel right to me. Young girls seeing my body type thinking this is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to say in another message to her followers that \u201clabels are unnecessary and reserved for women\u201d along with a photo of herself in a bikini.<\/p>\n

Soon after, Glamour\u2019s<\/em> editor-in-chief Cindi Lieve responded to the controversy on Twitter, saying they never intended to say that Schumer was plus-sized and found Schumer to be a great inspiration to their readers.<\/p>\n

Fans took to social media as well, with the majority backing Amy Schumer for being wrongfully labeled. Users explained how the beauty standards put out by magazines such as Glamour<\/em> were completely unrealistic and that \u201cplus-size\u201d shouldn\u2019t be used in fashion. It is potentially harming towards young girls who are just learning how to accept their bodies.<\/p>\n

However, some also took sides with Glamour<\/em> magazine, stating they were proud to see a company celebrate women of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n

Amy Schumer is not the first to want to ban the word \u201cplus-size\u201d from the industry. Hollywood stars such as Melissa McCarthy and Meghan Trainor have also spoken out against the label. Model Tyra Banks also chooses not to use the word, instead saying \u201cI don\u2019t like the label \u2018plus-size\u2019 \u2013 I call it \u2018fiercely real\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
