A model has claimed she’s been forced to resort to private jets after commercial airlines reportedly ‘banned’ her due to her large bottom.
Gracie Bon, who takes pride in her “perfect” appearance and often showcases her “rolls, cellulite and stretch marks,” finds her ample posterior a challenge when fitting into standard plane seats. The 27-year-old from Panama, who is also a Fashion Nova ambassador with an impressive nine million Instagram followers, used to purchase two or three seats during flights for the sake of comfort. “Aeroplanes should have bigger seats,” she insisted.
She even tried flying first-class but faced the same issues. “It’s not my fault I have a butt this big,” she stated.
After a struggle with her campaign to improve conditions for curvy passengers made little headway, Gracie declared that private flights are her “only solution” following what she describes as a ban from commercial airlines. She recently took to Instagram to share her new way of travelling, highlighting how she can now easily fit into the seats of a private plane.
Gracie shared her travel woes, stating: “Some airlines banned me so this is how I have to travel every time. I used to buy two or three seats so I started a campaign requesting bigger seats and they didn’t like it. Now flying private jet is my only solution.”
Delving into the luxuries of private aviation, she took viewers into what she described as her “favourite place” on the jet – the “VIP” bathroom. The spacious amenity allowed her the comfort she sought.
However, she expressed doubts about the fit of the toilet and said: “I’m not sure I’m going to fit in this but we’ll see.”
On her 10-hour journey, Gracie also indulged in her fourth meal of the day consisting of a chicken wrap, salad, and fruit, which she termed “It was a perfect, healthy snack.” After this, she managed to steal three hours for a nap, during which she “slept like a queen.”
She reflected on her new mode of transit, claiming private jet travel is “the best thing that has happened” for her since her alleged ban from commercial airlines and asking: “Is flying private the solution for big girls like me?”
Gracie’s predicament has garnered mixed reactions. A supporter encouraged her: “Go girl have fun do your thing you are living way better and look 100 times better than a lot of your haters.”
Another supporter chimed in with approval: “Wow this is a smart idea.” But some people were sceptical about her plight.
One commenter pointedly remarked: “‘Who else’s fault is it? No one forced you to get the surgeries.'” And another simply stated: “It’s your fault. You paid for the surgeries.”
While Gracie has previously denied having facial surgery, she has remained silent on whether her stunning curves are the result of surgical enhancement. She’s been accused of undergoing a variety of cosmetic procedures in the past, including butt lifts, breast implants, lip injections, fillers, and Botox, to boost her looks, but these allegations have yet to be confirmed.
