"I don"t like that we"re talking about full-figured women because it"s glamorizing them because your waist should be smaller than 35 [inches]. That"s what Dr. Oz said, and I"m sticking to it," the 68-year-old former cover girl told E! News last week. "Her face is beautiful. But I don"t think it"s healthy in the long run."

After receiving backlash for her comments, Tiegs took to Twitter on Friday to offer "my sincere apologies to everyone I have hurt."

"I truly just want everyone to be healthy & happy," she added.

Graham opened up to ET last August about the stigmas that come with being referred to as a "plus-sized" model.

"The things that I don"t necessarily like about it is all the negative stigmatisms that go with the word plus size -- you"re fat, you"re lazy, you have no drive, no determination, you"re constantly eating," she explained. "Honey, I work out. I work out three days a week. I lift. I do barre. I do it all. It"s the stereotypes. That"s what I really don"t like. I am me. Take it or leave it."
