TikTok personality “Big Curvy Olivia” argued in a recent video that airlines are discriminatory for not making their aisles wider for morbidly obese individuals.


Olivia posted video on her TikTok channel this week of herself boarding a plane. She wrote, “Honest it’s discrimination that they can’t build wider aisles in airplanes in 2023.”
