So it doesn't fit, now that you've gained weight?
Gee, Evie; if only there was a solution to that.

See, here I was going to actually approve of this rebuttal (whilst griping about how she could at least have put a fucking bra on fml), but then she has to go bitching and whining for censorship from the rag that posted the original picture.
That's when my laude transformed from 'nice response' to 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on - except the animal's already fucked and being euthanized due to its shattered spinal column, you fat dipshit.'

I wouldn't call it hard to find plus sized clothes to wear though. It's just not the high end pricey crap she thinks she should be wearing.

"I've been modeling for nearly ten years now, and the erasure of models my size or bigger has been crazy to witness in real time. We started with plus models, then they changed it to curve to sound 'nice,' now they have 'mid-size' models getting all the jobs plus models once had. This shows they can make bigger sizes, they can sell bigger sizes, but God forbid you model it on a bigger size."
Here's the thing, sis: Plus size models have long been a size 12. The standard is still a size 12, even as a size 12 has become bigger over the last 30-40 years, adjusted upward as the median size (size M or 6) got bigger and bigger. Today's size 12 is significantly fatter than 1983's size 12, because women, as a whole, are fatter; 1983's size 12 would be about a size 6-8 today. And I'm guessing that the "mid-size" models she's complaining about are a size 12, which is still pretty fucking chunky unless you're 5'10-5'11," like most models are.
In the last 15 years, thanks to noisy fat activists, and the fact that most of the creative decision-makers in the garment industry in NYC, LA, and London are a batch of screaming, privileged libtards who never met an "oppressed" minority in an affluent Western society that it couldn't rally around, the fashion industry conducted a large-scale experiment: it started using serious fatties, like your XL/14-16 self, and even larger, in their advertising, all in the name of diversity, inclusivity, and representation. In more recent years, they've added troons (seriously, play "spot the anorexic twink" in any fashion mag or major campaign, or in any runway show—there's a lot of them out there, modeling women's clothes), and outright uggos with obvious mental illness. Tess Holliday on the cover of Cosmopolitan, then Self, and he fat, ugly, black troon modeling Calvin Klein underwear last year? That exemplified what was going on.
Models your size—who actually got steady work for a while? You're an anomaly. You entered modeling during the heyday of that anomaly, when obese models still seemed like a new and long-overdue trend, and ten years later your modeling career is on the wane because that anomalous trend is starting to lose traction.
The general public—you know, the people who actually buy all of these goddamned clothes—don't like it, however. Even most fatties don't want to look at clothes modeled by humans whose bodies look like a bad accident at the rendering plant. Humans like to look at attractive humans, even if we know we can never be, or mate with, them; we're hardwired for that, and no amount of Marxist reeducation in the form of bombarding us with images of fatties, uggos, troons, and self-disfiguring mental cases is going to change that. And sales figures have shown just how much the general public doesn't like this shit. Even the most progressive types who condescendingly cheer this shit on so they can feel good about how inclusive they are don't like it.
Fashion is aspirational. People need clothes, but they only need so many, and most excess purchases beyond that are because they like thinking that garment can make them look even better. They aren't going to be so eager to buy if the product photo shows a cautionary example of what they might really look like. Sure, there's an honesty in putting those clothes on a fat woman, but honesty doesn't sell lots of clothes; fantasy does.
Recently, I've seen DEI professionals bemoaning the reduced number of positions available to them. There have been job cuts in the field, and many companies have stopped hiring in DEI positions—because private employers recognize just how badly DEI policies and trainings damage workplace morale and esprit d'corps, promote the hiring and advancement of unfit candidates based upon race and/or gender identity, and therefore reduce productivity and profitability.
If you're a model over a size 12, who expected to keep being in demand because all that fatty activism was making real, needed changes in society? You're just like those DEI folks who can't find jobs because a bunch of racists doing the Work in the workplace ends up hurting the financial bottom line too badly. On the one hand, it sucks to be them, and you, watching all the opportunities you thought you were going to keep on having dry up. But since they, and you, are problems posing as solutions, I don't feel too bad.
But hey, if you're actually a size 16, a size 12 is within reach, if you're willing to do the work. Just sayin'...

Yeah, I roll my eyes when fat people make this claim. At the other end of the spectrum, vanity sizing has all but ensured that very thin women have very few options for clothing, particularly if they prefer to shop in-store or are too tall for petite sizes. Daring to say such a thing in public, however, would be met with scorn from the exact same people who claim that access to size 8X crop tops is a human right.
They're always careful to say that they don't hate thin people, but it's pretty clear what they actually believe.

It happens to men too. I have a colleague who is considered short here (but not exceptionally so, just a bit below average) and very lean and wiry in build. He was complaining that when he was shopping for suits and wanted something off the rack he was told to look in the children's section. He's not that far out of the norm but there was nothing that would fit in the regular section unless he had it altered. Stores unsurprisingly mostly stock what they know they can sell, and if you're outside that average you're going to face challenges. Fat people can lose weight but an adult man can not grow another 6 cm in the inseam so who is arguably more oppressed by this.

Yeah I have a friend who struggles with this. She's in her mid-30s, well under 100lbs and 4'11". Finding anything in her size that isn't from the tween section that doesn't need tailoring is like finding a living unicorn in your toilet. 4x? Can waltz right in and find entire sections dedicated to it.
The difference is they don't make a political stink about it and just deal with it like every other human being in the world that doesn't perfectly fit into the shapes of jeans put on the rack at the store. At least the plus sized people get easily accessible stores dedicated to just them.

Mooing about being dumped in public social media posts, while still living in the same house as her now-ex, is certain to work out well.
There are times when I want to chalk her self-centered behavior and emotional immaturity up to being borderline retarded, rather than a vulnerable Narcissist, but fuck it; I swear she's both.

That’s dumb. Companies don’t advertise to win social justice points, they make ads to get people to buy their shit. They would absolutely not put some fattie in their ads unless there was marketing research that indicated this would benefit sales.
There isn’t a single boardroom in existence that is going to say, “fuck profits, we need to be inclusive.”
DEI is a way to reach Gen Z consumers. No companies are legitimately enacting it within,

She should be grateful the dumbass let her even stay. (I assume there is a legal reason or maybe he can't fit her out the door, who knows.)

She's disabled, can't adequately perform ADLs without assistance, unemployed (and, let's face it, unemployable). I don't remember if she's actually on disability, but she has virtually no income, and no ability to get a job and housing together in order to move out (even if she wanted to).
I assume it's mostly a matter of basic decency that keeps him from wheeling her out to the curb with all of her stuff and changing the locks, because ending up homeless would obviously be a death sentence for her. But there's also the matter of criminal abandonment—in which a married person deserts a spouse who is sick, disabled, or otherwise in a state of dependency upon them. They may not be formally married, but they have cohabited for years, with the intent of eventually marrying, they would be considered so in most states under common law.
A married spouse can still file for, and get, a no-fault divorce from a disabled partner, and he could probably get a legal separation—but he's still responsible for her. If he had the money, he could move her into an assisted-living facility, or get her an ADA-compliant apartment and pay for caregivers to see to her physical needs. But this is a guy whose kitchen had/has gone without gas or hot water for a long time, and for whom it was a financial hardship to widen some interior doorways and install a wheelchair ramp out front, so that's not going to happen.
So legally, he's stuck with her. The only way she's leaving his house is if she decides to go on her own—such as moving to where her mom is and staying with her—or if she does a DeathByJen and ends up in a hospital or care facility for an extended period of time. And even then, there's no guarantee she won't be sent back to his home to die, with the aid of hospice.

Please tell me, you made that up. Its a crime against humanity, if that exists.
Disney keeps doing inclusive shit, that bombs at the boxoffice. If they were all about the money, they would have steered the ship in another direction but it seems like they have some kind of a wokeagenda.

I think it's a matter of just having a few token non-intimidating minorities so companies get all the NPC consoomer business by claiming to be woman-owned, black-owned, fat-owned, etc. But you can't let said minorities have enough influence that said NPCs will get turned off because something strays a little too far from their comfort zone. Diverse, but not too diverse. Know what I mean?

Another dump, why not?
On topic:
I think "Red Shoes" (despite the awful marketing) is a good example of "diversity" done right. The protagonist is fat, but it informs her character, her choices, and her arc. There's even a scene where she calls out another character because she realizes he wouldn't have helped her if he saw her at her original weight.
Someone pointed this out in a review of Wish, but Disney only does superficial representation and they're happy to swap female characters but not male.
Never chalk up to malice that which can be explained by stupidity, but it's not the "diversity" that people take issue with, it's this half-assed fake "diversity" where it's "People want to see themselves" but only in terms of physical appearance.

I hate how they say "take up space" as if it's a revolutionary activist feat to be fat, but I know these women probably loathe a 6ft3 bodybuilder who can hardly fit in a sedan let alone a plane for "furthering the patriarchy" and "valuing supremacist ideals" by bulking up.
