Swimsuit Model Blasts Body Image 'Haters' on Twitter

Sports Illustrated supermodel Nina Agdal is, not surprisingly, a beautiful woman. She's also, not surprisingly, on the skinny side.

But she won't stand for critics who hate on her being bereft of heft, and she took to Twitter on Thursday to set the record straight.

It all started when the @si_vault Twitter account, which shares photos from the venerable sports magazine, posted a link to a collection of Instagram shots by Sports Illustrated swimsuit models. That link included this image:

Here's are January's best Instagram pics posted by SI Swimsuit models. Of course @ninaagdal is involved: sportsillustrated.cnn.com/extra-mustard/…— Andy Gray (@si_vault) January 31, 2013

The photo prompted at least one reader to respond with a reference to anorexia and question why SI would promote such a body image.

Agdal was all over that, though, telling the world via Twitter that she is in fact a healthy human being and critics should step off:

@si_vault to all the haters.. Yes I DO eat. I work out. I am a HEALTHY 20 year old with high metabolism. Lets just put things straight!— Nina Agdal (@NinaAgdal) January 31, 2013

Booya. Of course, Agdal's tweet left an opening for at least one courageous follower to take a romantic shot in the dark:

@ninaagdal @si_vault I believe you. Also believe Chicago restaurant week starts tomorrow. I'll take you somewhere fancy, if it's a good deal— Anand Dave (@_AnandDave) January 31, 2013

No word on how that's worked out, but Anand does get points here for trying.
