And just thought I would point it out, since you were sporting that picture as definitive proof that she is thin.

Which, don't get me wrong. The chick is curvy. And on the thinner side of curvy for that matter. I see nothing wrong with her figure, even the bigger photos of her that haven't been touched much, a la runway. Just chiming in there. A magazine cover photo is no proof positive of thinness.

Ok, I now know who she is.

googled her, imgmodels.com  says she has a 25" waist. Her waist is as big as mine, and it's 27" or 28"  She looks bigger than Crystal Renn.

She's hot, I won't deny that, but she's not model sized at all.

And that first photo posted did make her look like a squishy brick. It was an excellent description.

LoL, what the hell is model sized?

Sits back with eager anticipation for the answer to that question.

Definitely not even close to one of the better figures as far as models go (IMO).

This is exactly what I came into this thread to say.

But that's really just based on that image.  Which is probably an unfortunate angle at just the wrong time.

In other images and video of her, she looks more slim and tone.

The issue no one has addressed(as far as I read) is that she isn't toned. Whatsoever. When you're a bikini/lingirie model youre suppose to sculpt your body so that you keep those curves and stay Toned. Her stomach/love handles/back/butt are just floppy. However, she is teeny and if she were to tone up, she would probably get called anorexic.

Edited to add- whatever she weighs or however her body looks, with that stupid dance, she's just one of those people for me. Can't say I know her but she seems way to into herself.

i don't know if hitting the gym would really help, to be honest. some people are just shaped different, and it looks like she just has a naturally thicker waist than some other models.

i wouldn't call kate upton fat, but i think she definitely has a different body type than some other models who are very slender with big boobs - like marissa, for example.

she has more of a boyish figure, more boxy than hourglass.

Looking at those photos it does seem to me she's a bit..jiggly.  I'm not calling her fat, just agree she could probably use some gym-time.

She's definitely not fat, but she could use some toning up.
Plus folks..she is not a fashion model so no clue why some here are comparing her to other fashion models.

Comparing her to Marissa Miller is weird..They have totally different body types.
Marissa has an hourglass shape and Kate has a box like shape. She's like one of those girls who has no defined waist almost Just straight down from the arms to their legs. Those body types usually tend to look a bit thicker and weirder in bikinis..even when their are all toned up.

good picture of her box like figure.

This is the first time I've heard the accusation.

I wonder if there are similar opinions that she's too skinny. I've seen bigger people than her get harassed for being too thin.

Whatever anyone says about her, she is one of my favorite llamas. Her body isn't prototypical supermodel, yet she is a supermodel. So what? There are baseball pitchers, who are professional athletes, that obviously have a much higher body fat percentage than Kate.

Plus, she obviously has a sense of humor if she would partake in a shoot like this with Ken Jeong from "The Hangover."

Sat next to her for an hour in hair and makeup once. I agree she looks chubby in most of the pictures of this thread, but she was stunning (not at all fat - I guess her weight is fluctuating a lot) in person, and quite the opposite of a diva.

Not that I'm a fan of hers or anything like that, but I thought this needed to be said...

For a model, she is fat in that picture.  But I have seen pics of her where she looks slim.   Maybe it is the diet thing.

Her smile lights up her entire face. She has pretty lips and eyes. And I'd hit that boxy-figure more than twice.

She's hot.
Her body type isn't the typical that you see in her genre of modeling, but it's working for her and I like that she looks a bit different, it makes her unique.

Eh.

I might hit it 10 times or so.  after that, I'd throw her back.  But probably not.

She's not fat - she's curvy. Even then, "fat" isn't the word to be used to refer to a mode. It's "Plus sized"

And if you haven't heard of pro-ana or pro-mia, you've never browsed Tumblr. It's a sad thing.

I don't think that skinny and thin are the same thing. And people's self-esteem issues ain't got shit to do with me. I think that Kate Upton is somewhat thin (now moreso than before), but NOT skinny. And still entirely average looking.
