Coco Rocha's fat hurt

Model Coco Rocha admits it was hurtful when she was branded fat by the fashion industry, even though she is only a tiny US size four.

Coco Rocha admits it was hurtful when she was branded fat by the fashion industry.

Although the model is only a tiny US size four Coco is bigger than most of her work colleagues - meaning she didn't get as many jobs when she first started out - but while she admits she was upset at the time, she no longer lets it bother her.

She said: "It hurt at the time. But now I say, 'You can't dance with everybody. Someone else will come along.' "

Coco also revealed she wouldn't be working with photographer Terry Richardson again as she felt uncomfortable around him.

She told FASHION magazine: "I've shot with him, but I didn't feel comfortable and I won't do it again."

Earlier this year, Coco hit back at claims she's "too fat for the runway" and said it was disgusting how young girls in the industry are treated.

The 21-year-old beauty wrote on her blog: "I'm a 21 year old model, 6 inches taller and 10 sizes smaller than the average American woman. Yet in another parallel universe I'm considered 'fat'... This was the subject of major discussion this week and the story that was spun was: 'Coco Rocha is too fat for the runway.'

"Is that the case? No. I am still used and in demand as a model. In fact I find myself busier than ever. In the past few years I have not gained an extreme amount of weight, only an inch here and there as any young woman coming out of her teenage years would."
