Plus size influencer spreads at Ryanair for ‘the tight bathroom’ that she once experienced

A plus -size influencer has called Ryanair for having the ‘tightest bathroom’ she has ever had to use in a travel vlog.

Australian Contentmaker Brooke Phoebe recently posted a video with the title ‘Flying While Fat’ on TapWhile she broke every aspect of taking a flight like a woman of size 30-32.

‘I show you everything, walk through the aisle on the plane, step in my chair, the bathrooms … everything.

“Now I flew here in the UK with Ryanair, a budget airline,” she said in a voice -over.

The clip started with images of Brooke who ran through the narrow aisle to reach her assigned chair ‘just to show big girls what it is like to get on the plane at the last minute’.

She did not advise colleague plus size ‘girlies’ to hurry, adding most passengers ‘takes a while … to get in their chair’.

After she explained, she opted for the ‘two -sitting configuration’, so there was ‘nobody next to’ her and her fellow traveler.

Brooke said she was able to ‘spread even more’ after her co-passenger had moved to the row at the front after she realized that it was completely empty.

“I get so many messages about the use of an airplane bathroom and I am not going to lie, this is the tightest I have experienced,” said Brooke.

She also shared her top tip for flying as a big girl, and added: ‘I always recommend going to the bathroom as soon as people go on.

“That way you have to use the bathroom less likely on the plane.”

She concluded her video by addressing other plus-size women, who may feel self-aware while traveling through public transport methods, as she said: ‘You deserve to take space in this world.

“Even on an airplane.”

Although Brooke’s video received various supporting messages on Tiktok, it was also received with criticism from some users of social media – who said that she had to treat the experience as a ‘wake -up call’.

“There is nothing wrong with being a little bigger or a winding girl,” was a comment. ‘But if this consumed my life and worried, I would think it’s time to do something about it.

“It can’t be comfortable.”

Another said, “This should be a sign that it is now time to change.”

A third added: ‘If this is not your wake -up call, I don’t know what it is. You are young, work on your fitness and health. You will thank me later. ‘

Brooke, who also shared the Nu-Virale video on her Instagram account, replied to such a comment after she received a message stated: ‘Why would you spend time making an Instagram page about how thick you are and not using this time to lose waiting [sic]?

“You try to let other people think that it is good to be so fat?”

Brooke shares a screenshot of the message on her Instagram stories and got back: “I love the time of wasting people by just existing,”

Brooke’s vlog about her experience with flying with the budget airline comes three years after another Plus -Size Influencer was confronted with online trolls to complain about the size of Ryanair’s seats and small toilets.

Kirsty Leanne, from Shropshire, filmed the clip while flying with the Budget carrier from London Stansted to Hamburg in April 2022 and revealed how she struggled to fit into the narrow aisle of the plane, could not use the tray table due to a lack of space and could hardly go into the toilet cell.

In the viral clip, which she shared with her tap account, Kirsty can be seen that she shows her computer screen where she has assigned a chair of a middle aisle.

Her post showed how little space she had flee when she tried to squeeze the plane before she also shared a photo of the safety belt funer.

In the meantime, she shared a short clip when she tried to use the tray table, of which she said it was a ‘big fat no’, and revealed that she had little room to move in the bathroom of the plane.

She endorsed the clip, which has yielded more than a million views, “Flying Ryanair without upgrades.”

Kirsty again made the headlines when she claimed that she was lagging behind with bruises after traveling at a National Express coach because of the seat size.

Later she admitted how the inflow of hateful comments under her vlogs, posted on her social media handles, had started ‘influencing’ – while she estimated that she will receive between 50 and 3000 cruel messages per day at the time.

Such a remark was: “You don’t deserve to take more space and I will do what I can do to make it so uncomfortable for you whenever I can.”

“Usually 300+ is stored under the plane,” another troll has sent the blogger a message.

“There has not been a day for the past six weeks that I have not received hate commentary,” Kirsty said at the time.

‘It doesn’t bother me if I get one or two, but it is possible if I get comments in the masses, it can really begin to influence.

‘My entire company is about showing plus -size people they don’t have to lose weight to entertain themselves and it can be difficult to portray that message when I am told every day that it is not true.

‘If it gets really bad, I have to take myself offline and have a little breaths, but this can be difficult if my company turns to be active on social media.

‘The worst remarks are when people make snapers about my lifestyle or who tell me that people with a big size do not deserve to be treated the same as people with a straight size.

“It is wild that in 2022 people still think when it comes to weight and weight gain.”

She said she largely tries to abolish negativity, but sometimes confessed that the hatred can reach her.

She added: ‘I know that everyone hates reactions to hate reactions differently. Some people remove, block and ignore and others choose to tackle them.

‘I think that is not wrong either, because everyone processes things in their own way and from experience, I know how much they can consume you.

‘I personally answer the strange comments, but it can be difficult to keep up. I do not feel obliged to answer, but sometimes it is difficult not to do that, especially if I feel that I have to defend the plus -size community.

“I would hate seeing what people say without reassurance that the trolls are wrong.

‘I have a little fun with it now and then! Especially if someone notices something ridiculous.

‘Assess people based on my mate about me. They see me as a burden for society and they are not afraid to tell me that.

‘Whether it tells me that at the age of 30 I will get a heart attack or that they would hate to look like me, every comment they have to make is because I am in a larger body than they are.

‘In reality, they must focus their anger on airlines and other spaces that are not accessible and they are the reason that they are not comfortable.

“Of course their answer is:” Well, it’s your own fault that you are fat “, which is simply not true.

“There are so many factors that can influence a person’s weight and regardless of what someone’s circumstances are, they should not be less respect for respect, pleasure, comfort and safety.”

But determined Kirsty is not deterred by the hateful comments and continues to share her experiences to this day.

In 2022 she noticed: ‘Happy people do not hurt others and for the most part the people who leave these comments are not happy in their own lives and take it out on others.

‘If you are ever in the position where you receive many comments, remember that their opinions do not have to define you.

‘Dealing with whatever way to help best and continue to become your great self.

“For those who leave hate remarks on people’s messages, remember that there is a person as you read behind the screen.”
