She’s been known for her killer curves but she’s never before been called “fat.” Model Amber Rose, who walked the catwalk at many fashion shows and dated rapper Kanye West, is fighting back at talk that she’s piled on too much weight.

It all seems to have started from a scathing piece in MediaTakeOut, which claimed credit for “calling it” as regards Amber’s weight.

There’s no doubt that the model appears plumper these days than she was some months ago, when she was doing plenty of modeling gigs.

Still, that doesn’t make her fat, she says on Twitter, including her exact measurements for people to be able to draw their own conclusions.

“I'm 5'9 148. How am I fat? Man, what have I done so wrong? Be to nice [sic]? I just don’t get it,” Amber tweeted the other day, as per the Daily Mail (the tweet seems to have been deleted in the meanwhile).

As noted above, it all started when MTO started pointing fingers at the model – and even names, for the article includes a photo of Miss Piggy with Chanel shades, just like Amber usually wears.

“Yikes!!! Remember a few weeks ago when we said Amber Rose was one burger away from a weight problem… Well she ate that burger!!!” MTO maliciously writes in all caps.

“Amber’s crossed over that unwritten THRESHOLD. And you already KNOW that it’s only gonna get WORSE from here!!!” the rag adds, including a few shots of the model looking curvier than usual.

On the other hand, both sets of pictures included show Amber working out. In one of them she even appears to be accompanied by a personal trainer so, if she really has a problem as MTO says she does, at least she’s doing something about it.

So far, the media has been on Amber’s side – mostly because she’s shown the fashion industry that you can have models with curves and still be as fabulous as ever.
