A model who went viral after calling for planes to have bigger seats has left social media users stunned after sharing pictures of her extreme transformation. 

Gracie Bon is a Panamanian model and content creator who has 7.6 million followers on Instagram.

She first gained notoriety online after opening up about the struggles she faces on planes as her curvaceous figure is too big for the small seats.

In the video that divided her followers, the 27-year-old could be seen standing on a travelator as she headed to her boarding gate, before showing herself squeezing into the wide seat and using a seatbelt extender to strap herself in.

In the clip, Gracie wrote that "airplanes should have bigger seats," adding: "So today I had a flight and even if I was flying in first class I couldn't fit on the airplane seat.

"So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me fly," she said. "It's not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger!"

Not everyone was sympathetic to her plight as they took to the comment section to slam her complaint. "'Big girls like me' ?? Girl you made yourself like that," one person accused.

"You’re supposed to pay for two seats if you can’t fit in one.. just like anyone else who doesn’t fit.." another commented, while one more added: "What do u mean it's not your fault? You literally paid to do this to yourself."

While the social media sensation has not confirmed whether she had enhancement surgeries, she did share staggering before and after pics of her body transformation.

The first picture was from the age of 21 and the second was from the age of 25.

Check out the post below:

Translated from Spanish to English, the content creator penned in the caption: “It all started with loving my 300-pound body. And even so, many tell me: 'But if you had loved it, you would have stayed like this and not changed.'

“The truth is that I loved it so much that I wanted to take care of it and I decided to save myself, I did not settle for being 21 years old, complaining about it," she continued. “My knee pain, I was also not satisfied with not being able to breathe well when I walked. I wanted more. And wanting more is OK, what is best for you and what makes you happy will always be OK. Because in the end, the only thing that matters is you.

“Note: Being skinny does not make you healthy; not even being fit makes you superior… we all have our times and processes and no one knows the condition or health status of an overweight person.

“So if you see someone going through a bad time because of their size, love them very much and understand that you don’t know what they are going through. Maybe that affection is all you need to see yourself with loving eyes,” she concluded.

Many shocked users shared their reactions to Bon’s unrecognizable picture in the comment section and praised her new look as well as her message of body positivity.

"So proud of you, slay girl," one person wrote, while a second chimed in: "Wow. You really did good. Great job for yourself. Bravo."

"You are the one who should feel good, people will always criticize because they have no life of their own. You shouldn't give explanations to anyone keep succeeding, travel, surround yourself with successful and wonderful things you deserve it," a third user applauded.

She looks great!

A model hit back at trolls who told her to "buy two seats" after she called for planes to offer passengers more space in their seating.

Taking to Instagram, Gracie Bon opened up about the struggles she faces as a plus-size passenger.

In the clip that divided her followers, the 29-year-old could be seen standing on a travelator as she headed to her boarding gate, before showing herself squeezing into the wide seat and using a seatbelt extender to strap herself in.

"Airplanes should have bigger seats. So today I had a flight and even if I was flying in first class I couldn't fit on the airplane seat. So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me fly," she said.

"It's not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger," she added.

In response, hundreds of followers commented that it was her own "fault", with one person commenting: "It is your fault, buy 2 seats and keep it moving."

Have a look at the video below:

However, Bon later hit back at those people in a follow-up video where she stated that "buying two airplane seats don't fix my problem."

"Airplanes are too small for big people," she continued. "It's 2024, bodies are changing so planes should too."

She then stated that she wouldn't "lose" her butt just to fit on a plane so people should "give me another solution or make planes bigger."

Again, people couldn't help but slam the influencer for thinking this way.

"Buy your own plane," one user suggested while another harshly added that she should sit with the aircraft's "cargo."

And this user commented writing: "You did this yourself. You can't expect everyone to acclimate to you, when you want to be different."

However, others did agree with Bon stating that planes barely have enough room for regular butt-sized passengers.

"This is true," commented one Instagrammer under the video and this user also agreed stating: "My butt not even as big as hers and I be needing half of the other seat... my hips be on top of the other person next to me…. Seats are just small."

An Instagram model has left her followers divided after she revealed her struggles with sitting in airplane seats due to her famous bottom.

Airplane travel can be uncomfortable at the best of times, from being stuck next to strangers to the lack of legroom - but things only get worse if you can't fit in the seat at all.

Gracie Bon, 26, took to Instagram to share the struggles she faces when flying - even if it's in the luxury of first class - as her oversized derriere doesn't fit in any airplane seats.

The social media star, who's racked up 4.5 million followers thanks to her aforementioned booty, divided her fans when she shared her frustration that airlines won't make their seats larger to accommodate people with larger bodies.

She began by showing a clip of her standing on a travelator as she headed to her boarding gate, before showing herself squeezing into the wide seat and using a seatbelt extender - which was extremely loose on her tiny waist - to strap herself in.

Gracie told her followers: "Airplanes should have bigger seats. So today I had a flight and even if I was flying in first class I couldn't fit on the airplane seat. So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me fly.

"It's not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger!"

Her post was flooded with comments after she shared her travel difficulties, however, not everyone was sympathetic to her plight.

One commented: "Who elses fault is it? No one forced you to get the surgery," while another added: "You get them surgeries by accident?"

A follower suggested: "Buy two seats instead of one, clearly you've got plenty of money to afford them," while someone else wrote: "You did that to yourself honey! Nobody forced you to do this."

(Of course, these comments are nothing more than speculation as it is not known - nor anybody else's business - if Gracie has undergone any enhancement surgeries.)

One commenter who claimed to work as cabin crew pointed out that she was putting her safety belt around the wrong part of her body, adding: "Coming from a flight attendant your seatbelt goes around your waist not your thighs…so does she really need a seatbelt extension? No. A wider seat yes.. but not a seat belt extension. - Flight attendant with hips…"

A follower who also faced uncomfortable travels due to their curvy body added: "Agreed. I definitely need a larger seat and a seatbelt that doesn't have such a hard buckle. Could they throw in a tray that fits over big boobs?"

Others added: "Let’s start a rebellion!!!! This is unjust and unfair!!", "Airplane’s definitely need to make bigger and more comfortable seats," and: "I’m with ya plane seats way too small!"

To be fair, I don't think anyone - no matter how big or small they may be - would complain about having a more spacious seat on a plane.
