Fox411: Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Hunter McGrady describes pre-fame struggles, talks curvy figure
When Hunter McGrady made the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2016, she was deemed the "curviest model ever." But at the beginning of her career, she was told no a number of times.
“I had booked a job and I went with my mom to the job in downtown L.A. I was 16,” the 26-year-old McGrady told photographer Yu Tsai on IGTV . “I walked in and they were all staring at me and ... the producer came over and she said, ‘We’re so sorry, we didn’t realize how big you were.’ They didn’t even give me a chance to try on any of the garments. They didn’t give me a chance to do anything.

‘It’s Important To Highlight All The Different Aspects Of Women’: Hunter
She has her own clothing line with QVC, has been a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model four times, and is breaking barriers as a plus-size model. McGrady is a leader in the conversation about body inclusivity in fashion and she says creating her own clothing line is a dream come true.
“I’ve had a passion for fashion for so many years,” said McGrady in an interview with CBS Local’s DJ Sixsmith. “It was about the right timing and the right people to connect with. When I met with QVC, their values lined up with my values. One of the biggest things for me was to make sure we had inclusive sizing. Inclusive sizing means offering a really wide array of sizing. For instance, our sizes start at an xx small and go up to a 5x.
Seth Meyers on Trump: 'What do they have to do to keep this guy's attention?
"You can still look them in the eye with a mask!" Colbert said. "It's not a blindfold. Also, 'I don't have coronavirus' isn't an excuse for not protecting other people. That's like a guy saying 'I don't need to wear a condom. I want to look you in the eye and say thank you.'"
But without financial assistance from the government, it will run out of cash in June. Congressional Republicans rejected funding for the postal service in the latest stimulus bill, as Trump called it a "joke" and claimed it undercharges Amazon for its packages (his administration has debunked this) on account of his personal obsession with Jeff Bezos for owning the Washington Post.
Sports Illustrated, under new management, cuts 40 staff jobs
NEW YORK — Sports Illustrated's new manager said Thursday that the 65-year-old sports magazine is cutting more than 40 jobs out of a staff of 150.
Maven, the company now managing the magazine, will add 200 contractors to cover college and professional sports teams, said Maven spokesman Greg Witter. These people are "independent publishers, contractors" but "still professional journalists," he said.
Maven struck a licensing deal in June to operate Sports Illustrated with the magazine's new owner, branding company Authentic Brands Group. Magazine publisher Meredith, which earlier this year sold Sports Illustrated to Authentic Brands for $110 million, was initially supposed to run the magazine's print edition and website.
