Gracie Bon’s goal to get bigger seats in airplanes to accommodate her huge ass might’ve gotten a laugh on social media — but she’s not chuckling … telling us she’s dead serious.
We talked to the Instagram model about her recent viral “petition” about rejiggering the configuration of flights — so that seating areas are larger, for people of size to fit comfortably — and while she admits it was half-jokey … there was some truth to what she was arguing for.

As she explains to us here … this issue is actually quite pervasive, and it often gets turned into one big punchline at the expense of people who are truly struggling with it.
Yes, she’s got a big butt … something she says she can’t help, and for which she shouldn’t be punished either — that’s her argument anyway.
She also says people chiming in with mean/hurtful comments aren’t helping either … and she thinks companies should be more thoughtful about customers of shapes and sizes.

Gracie says she’s actually used to buying two seats to deal with this problem — and figured a first-class flight would solve it — but to her dismay, it didn’t … and she now realizes that some major changes need to be instituted to address this very real problem. No, she’s not kidding.

BTW, on the question that everyone’s wondering — whether her body is “real” — she provides some clarity on that front too. Check it out … apparently, it’s all natural. Well, sorta.
