United Kingdom, May 1 -- Ashley Graham feels disheartened by the rise of weight-loss drugs.

The 38-year-old model appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2016, and she became a spokesperson for the body positivity movement - but Ashley fears that a lot of that hard work is now being undone by weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic.

Speaking to Marie Claire magazine about the issue, Ashley explained: "It's really disheartening.

"There was a pendulum that swung that was so body acceptance, positivity, everybody be who they want to be. And now it's going back this whole opposite way that feels like a smack in the face to the women who have felt like they've had a voice."

Ashley has no intention of changing her approach...
