Garcia Boone, a model with a huge butt, uploaded a video online in which she demonstrated how difficult it is for her to sit down, buckle up and prepare for takeoff, even in business class: “It’s not my fault that I have such a big butt,” she said, but not all of her 5 million followers expressed empathy towards her
Garcia Bon is a very successful Instagram model from Panama, with almost 5 million followers (and another 4.3 million on TikTok) who is best known for her… huge butt. Her butt is so big, she admits that sometimes it makes it very difficult for her, especially in places like for example airplanes, where, if you don’t fly in business class, then the aisles are very narrow and the seats are too small to accommodate a butt like hers.
Garcia, who also has an Unlipans page where she shares sexually daring and provocative content, claims that she has great difficulty settling into her seat, putting on her seat belt and getting ready for takeoff, even if she is flying in business class. Because of these reasons, she is now demanding that the airlines increase the seats.
Garcia recently revealed her flight issues in a video where she demonstrated that her butt is too big for a standard airplane seat, or if you want to look at it from her perspective, airplane seats are too small. Garcia now requires the chairs to be wider or deeper
Although her post was humorous, it brought up a real issue that exists for people with larger builds, including those who are naturally large or have a medical problem. The idea that the human body develops and changes and requires more comprehensive solutions, beyond buying a ticket for an extra seat, was a central theme in her post.
Who is to blame for the size of her butt?
“It’s not my fault I have such a big butt,” she said proudly. But not all of her followers sympathized with her and accused her that it was her fault, since she had enlarged her butt with plastic surgery and that it was excessively large. Some netizens suggested that she quietly face the consequences of her actions, while others criticized such insensitive comments. In a later clarification to TMZ, Boone emphasized that her post was indeed meant to be a joke, but also a realistic depiction of a common issue and known problem.
Boone’s post managed to spark a discussion about the need for more accommodating seats on flights to accommodate people with larger bodies. She even announced that she was considering starting a petition for this purpose.
It’s all a matter of policy
The different airlines have diverse policies when it comes to passengers who require extra space. Southwest Airlines, Emirates, United Airlines and Jetstar have regulations that may require passengers to purchase an additional seat ticket for them. In Australia, obesity can be considered a disability, potentially making it illegal to charge extra for larger passengers, while a Supreme Court ruling in Canada requires airlines to provide two seats for the price of one to obese passengers on domestic flights.
