TV One Apologizes for 'Size-ism'

TV One, a television network that focuses on programming for and about African-Americans, has broadcast an apology for an episode of one of its programs, Love That Girl, that crossed the line into what one website calls “size-ism.”

The show featured a scene where the head of its star, Tatyana Ali (from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air) was placed on the body of comedian Erica Watson. Plus Model Magazine called out the episode, saying it was “not unacceptable.”
