Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham is a plus-size model who is making headlines for her recent Lane Bryant intimates ad, which ABC and Fox both nixed because they claimed there's too much skin shown in the advertisement. She's featured in a bra and panties in the video, and the retailer claims they denied the commercial because of a prejudice against curvy women.

Graham said in an interview (via Baltimore Sun): "The Victoria's Secret girls can flaunt around their panties all day long. But when there's a bigger woman with a little bit extra, they snipped it out immediately."

Apparently the only way the ad could be run on ABC was in the last few minutes of the Dancing with the Stars broadcast, and Fox demanded that multiple edits be made before airing it.

ABC commented that the network "was willing to accommodate them but they chose to seek publicity."
