There has been a lot of talk about if Cheryl issued an apology or not and now Cheryl has officially apologized to Ashley for her comments, but it could just be a little too late. E! Online shared the details of what happened and Cheryl Tiegs apology. Just last week Cheryl revealed that she wasn't happy that the new Sports Illustrated had a "full-figured" woman on the cover. Cheryl even said that a woman should have a waist that is smaller than 35 inches.

It is unknown if Tiegs has reached out to Graham, but she did go to Huffington Post today and post an actual apology to Ashley. Tiegs says that this has turned into a "manufactured media feud" and then went on to apologize to Ashley.
"I was not equating beauty to weight or size, but unfortunately that is what the media reported in headlines. I was trying to express my concern over media images and the lack of education in America about healthy choices, thus the reference to the 35-inch waist as a guideline to health. I did hear that on Dr. Oz, but it's also stated on websites such as The Center For Disease Control, Harvard University and The American Diabetes Association."
After that Cheryl Tiegs even went on to reveal that her waist is 37 inches and not under 35 inches either. Cheryl even went on basically begging Ashley to accept her big apology.
"Please accept my deepest apology if you were offended or in any way think I was referring to you. I commend you on the positive influence you have on helping women to love
