Kate Upton Vogue: The magazine has a story about how Upton “Became the hottest supermodel on Earth.”

Upton, though, was called fat by some online commenters. 

“It was hard at first,” Upton told Vogue. “You sit there and you’re like ‘Is something wrong with me?'”

“The things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change,“ she continued. ”I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things.”

Upton said that in the end she has learned to ignore the negative comments.

“I really just live my life,” she shared. “I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great. It’s kind of funny to think, ‘Oh, wow, the news is talking about whether I’m fat or not.’”

Upton has appeared on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover and is also a runway model.

Upton tells Vogue that runway modeling is “not what I set out to do” and that she wants to front a major fashion campaign and maybe even launch her own lingerie line.

She also says she would like to continue acting. Upton has appeared in “The Three Stooges” and “Tower Heist.” She’s also got a part in an upcoming film, “The Other Woman,” starring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.

Of her various goals she says, “I’m American — more is more!”

The magazine featuring Upton hits newsstands on May 21.
