"If she's a plus size, then I'm a fat pig," Rosie Perez said, Tuesday afternoon on "The View."

"If your a fat pig, you can imagine what I am," Whoopi Goldberg said.

Major fashion designer Calvin Klein recently released photos of their new lingerie model, who is a size 10. The last few days, the designer has been blasted with criticism for the label.

"Where is she thick?" said a very confused Nicole Wallace. Goldberg suggested she may have a little too much in the butt and hips for people's liking.

"People [on Twitter] brought this up, and called her plus size, then had a problem with it," said guest star Naya Rivera.

Rivera had a different perspective on the situation, saying society should be happy to see representation of the fit and fabulous female model.

Calvin Klein did not brand her as a plus size model. Voices speaking out on Twitter started the rumor that 27-year-old Myla Dalbesio was plus size. Twitter then erupted in outrage, stating that plus size doesn't start until size 12.

"A size 10 is considered plus size for that business," said Naya Rivera.

Hayley Peterson at Business Insider reported: "A Calvin Klein spokesperson told The New York Times, "The new Calvin Klein Underwear Perfectly Fit imagery features models Myla Dalbesio, Jourdan Dunn, Amanda Wellsh, Ji Hye Park and the face of the brand, Lara Stone, in several styles.

The Perfectly Fit line was created to celebrate and cater to the needs of different women, and these images are intended to communicate that our new line is more inclusive and available in several silhouettes in an extensive range of sizes."

Read an interview with Myla Dalbesio and see her photos at Elle.com, and decide for yourself if she should be labeled as "plus size", or perhaps simply celebrated for her curves.
