Plus-size model Tess Holliday has revealed that many of the scantily-clad photos she shares of herself on Instagram are actually fueled by the vitriol she faces from her critics
The 30-year-old beauty admitted that she used fight back when she was attacked by online bullies, but she has since realized it is a waste of her time and energy. However, she has since found other ways to retaliate.
'When I'm having a bad day, that's when I usually take naked photos and post them online, which hasn't happened often because my mom moved in with us and she doesn't really appreciate that, that much. I don't know why,' Tess said with laugh after a recent panel chat on fat acceptance hosted by Refinery29.com.

But Tess has managed to sneak in a few sultry photos, including a no-clothes-at-all booty shot with a graphic bubble reading 'oops' covering one exposed nipple. The image also shows off her arm tattoos, which portray the women she admires.
There's Divine, Dolly Parton, Miss Piggy and Mae West, 'all strong outspoken women like myself,' she explained.
Tess said nude picture was her most popular photo on Instagram, beating out her People cover, her H&M modeling campaign and news of her signing with Milk.
'Seems like the booty wins,' she joked in the comments, using her homegrown hashtag.
