By now, many of us know of Crystal Renn. She is the ex-anorexic high fashion model turned proud plus size model and author. Beloved by many, she was praised for embracing her natural curves in her book, in interviews, and in mainstream fashion media, especially Glamour magazine, which she recently graced the cover of June’s issue along with Alessandra Ambrosio and Brooklyn Decker. The cover has gained quite a bit of attention in the fashion world, because on it, Crystal appears to be practically as thin as the other two women. Looking at other recent photos of Crystal, it does appear that she has lost weight. So why is this such a big issue? Ever since she was dubbed as a plus size model and has spoke on body image, there seems to be this expectation of her to stay that way. Now that she has lost a bit of weight, criticism has poured in from everywhere. There have been speculations about her relapsing and betraying the size acceptance that she once advocated. However, articles have reported that the weight loss is unintentional and due to the fact that she has been more physically active.

“She is not trying to lose weight at all,” her Ford Models agent tells PEOPLE. “She fluctuates between a 10 and a 14.”

“She went hiking in Patagonia for three weeks over the holidays and she firmed up and got a little smaller,” he says. “She has also been traveling like crazy and tends to be smaller when that happens.

Makes sense. Still, I can’t help but noticed how some people are still placing her in that shameful weight loss corner, and otherwise ignoring her when they once loved her as that awesome plus size model striking a pose for Glamour magazine.

What do you think? Does she have a social obligation to stay plus size?
