Gracie Bon posted a video of herself sitting at a restaurant using two chairs, and people had a lot to say about it. She’s a plus-size model from Panama who’s known for speaking up about body positivity and public comfort.
The video shows a restaurant owner pulling out an extra chair for her so she could sit comfortably. She smiled and posed in a tight purple bodysuit and captioned it: “Two seats please.”
As usual, the comments were mixed. Some people loved it, others were quick to criticize. One person said, “Buy two seats instead of one; clearly, you’ve got plenty of money to afford them.”
Another wrote, “Whose fault is it? No one forced you to get the surgeries.” That wasn’t the only one. But others came to her defense.
Someone else posted, “Agreed. I definitely need a larger seat and a seatbelt that doesn’t have such a hard buckle.” A fan added, “The only surgery she has had was a tummy tuck. Her hips are naturally that large.”
Gracie has dealt with this kind of thing before. She got attention for asking airlines to make seats bigger. She said: “It’s not my job to change my body for the seat.”
People have followed her journey ever since. She keeps her family and background private, but her career has grown fast. She’s a model, an influencer, and a brand ambassador for Fashion Nova.
She’s got over 10 million followers on Instagram and posts regular photos showing confidence and style. The restaurant clip just added more fuel to the public conversation.
Even when people push back, she keeps doing her thing. Whether it’s plane seats or restaurant chairs, she’s not afraid to show what comfort and self-acceptance look like in real life.
