It looks like Cheryl Tiegs is not a fan of Ashley Graham's Sports Illustrated cover!
This year SI opted to release three different versions of their iconic Swimsuit Issue featuring, Ronda Rousey, Graham and Hailey Clauson to change things up. But the veteran model, who's appeared on the mag numerous times in the past, isn't happy with the mag's choice to feature Graham.
The 68-year-old got candid about the curvy model's cover during the 13th Annual Global Green USA Pre-Oscar Party on Wednesday and told E! News that she thinks the decision to spotlight Graham promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.
"I don't like that we're talking about full-figured women because it's glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That's what Dr. Oz said, and I'm sticking to it," she said. "No, I don't think it's healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don't think it's healthy in the long run."

The brunette beauty stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday and got candid about her history-making cover and embracing her curves.
"What's been so great is that they had three covers: me, Ronda and Hailey," she says. "Three different body types, three completely different women and that truly is a statement to what Sports Illustarted is trying to do!"
"I believe that Sports Illustrated is what is bridging the gap between what I call straight sized models and what they call plus sized models," she added. "It's really showing that women of all shapes and sizes and hopefully races now can be on the cover of Sports Illustrated."
