Months ago, Amy Schumer called out Glamour for referring to her as “plus size” in one of their issues. Model Ashley Graham, who was also included on Glamour’s list, is speaking out about Schumer’s frustrations. In an upcoming issue of Cosmopolitan, Graham counters Schumer’s comments by saying, “I can see both sides, but Amy talks about being a big girl in the industry. You thrive on being a big girl, but when you’re grouped in with us, you’re not happy about it? That, to me, felt like a double standard.”
But if you were expecting this comment to start a feud between the two, we are happy to report that just the opposite happened. In possibly the classiest reply ever, Schumer made her respect for Graham known on Twitter.
I totally understand Ashley’s feelings. I don’t group myself in with her because she is unbelievably beautiful. Nothing but respect for her

Graham has since responded to Schumer’s statement with a totally flawless tweet of her own.
I have the greatest respect for @amyschumer! So glad to be able to exchange thoughts, ideas & opinions w/ another incredible female force.

Isn’t it nice when celebrities get along? While they still may not agree with each other on the issue, Schumer and Graham are communicating their opinions without belittling each other or starting a feud. We can think of a few other stars who could take note of this lovely display of women supporting women.
