>> SOMEBODY CALL THE PC POLICE.
SHE MADE NEWS FOR FACEBOOK POST ASKING WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? NOW THE CALIFORNIA FITNESS MOM IS BANNED FROM FACEBOOK FOR THE POST YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE AGAINST CURVEY GIRL SELFIE.
>> SHE WROTE THIS, QUOTE: I WOKE UP TO NEWS STORIES ABOUT HOW OVERWEIGHT NEARLY OBESE WOMEN SHOULD BE PROUD OF THEIR BODIES AS THEY POSED IN LINGERIE.
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL ACCEPT HOW ANY HEALTHY BODY THROUGH GOOD NUTRITION MAN TESTS I'M STARTING TO GET ANNOYED.
SAYS HER POST IS HATE SPEECH.
MARIA KANG JOINS US FOR HER SIDE OF THE STORY.
YOU HAD TO KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE STIRRING THE POT WHEN YOU MADE THAT POST.
WOMEN SAY I'M PROUD OF MY BODY.
I'M CURVEY BUT I'M PROUD OF MY BODY.
>> I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY PROUD AND LOVE THEIR BODY.
YOU SHOULD LOVE AND ACCEPT A DESIRE TO PROGRESS YOURSELF.
>> DO YOU THINK THOSE WOMEN ARE NOT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING SELF-PORTRAITS OF THEMSELVES AND THEY MAY BE OVERWEIGHT? HOW YOU CAN INFER THAT FROM THE PHOTOS? >> YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE OR THEY AREN'T.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY JUDGMENT.
ALL I'M SAYING IS HOWEVER ANYBODY'S BODY MANIFESTS THROUGH GOOD NUTRITION AND EXERCISE IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WE ARE IN A CRISIS RIGHT NOW.
OBESITY RATES ARE RISING.
CONTINUE IN THE PACE WE ARE AT? NEARLY HALF OF AMERICANS IN 20030 ARE GOING TO BE OBESE.
WE NEED TO START HAVING ROLE MODELS OUT THERE WHO ARE AVERAGE.
WHO ARE EVERY DAY PEOPLE WHO ARE FIT AND HEALTHY.
I DON'T THINK THAT PICTURES THAT I SAW REPRESENTED HEALTH.
>> DO YOU THINK WE ARE STARTING TO BECOME NUMB TO JUST THE NEW SIZE THAT AMERICANS HAVE BECOME, THIS OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE POPULATION? WE HAVE HEARD THINGS ABOUT AIRLINES HOW THEY SHOULD MAKE SEATS BIGGER.
AMBULANCES SHOULD HAVE STRETCHERS THAT ARE LARGER, IS THIS JUST ANOTHER THING LIKE THAT? >> OH, DEFINITELY.
I THINK THAT RIGHT NOW WE ARE NORMALIZING OBESITY.
WE ARE NORMALIZING A CRISIS.
WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT I WAS BANNED FOR TALKING ABOUT IT SO, YES, I THINK WE ARE NORMALIZING THAT SOMETHING PEOPLE NEED TO DISCUSS AND NEED TO CREATE SOLUTIONS FOR.
>> DO YOU THINK FACEBOOK WENT TOO FAR IN WHAT YOU LABELED HATE SPEECH? WHAT'S THE UPDATE THERE? HAVE THEY PUT YOU BACK ON FACEBOOK.
>> I DEFINITELY THINK THEY WENT TOO FAR SAYING IT WAS HATE.
NOT HATE IN MY SPEECH.
CONVICTION BUT CONCERN AS AN AMERICAN.
RIGHT NOW I ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNTS BUT THEY DID NOT RESTORE WE STORE THE POST.
>> CURVEY GIRL SAYS I STAND BY THE BAN AND IT WAS IN FACT HATE SPEECH SINCE MY FACEBOOK PAGE IS ABOUT CELEBRATING ALL BODIES AND ALL WOMEN.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO YOUR CRITICS? >> I THINK THAT WHAT SHE IS DOING IS GREAT THING.
I THINK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL LOVED REGARDLESS OF SIZE.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT YOU SHOULD LOVE, ACCEPT YOU NEED TO PROGRESS YOURSELF.
CREATING A SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE ARE SAYING LOOK AT ME, I'M VERY OVERWEIGHT AND I LOVE MYSELF WHAT YOU ARE INDICATING AT THE SAME TIME.
IF YOU WANT TO DESIRE SOMETHING GREATER.
GET OUT OF THAT COMFORT ZONE.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT IF EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT YOU LOOK GOOD AND YOU ARE OKAY WITH WHERE YOU ARE AT MARIE KANG FITNESS MOLD.
