Unexpectedly, now-size-6 Crystal Renn, who betrayed and disappointed PLUS Model Magazine, appears in this year’s issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition – we’ve never seen Crystal as a bikini model before, so this spread is quite interesting! And so are her recent quotes regarding her weight loss:

“I have been a double-zero to a 16 even, for a bit. Now to settle at a [size] six or an eight, it’s a really interesting place to be, because there are very few sixes or eights.

There’s a woman at SI who’s made it a point to make sure that the models are healthy. They’re not interested in who’s the thinnest model of them all, they’re about the girl. We all have different bodies. There’s not one type that’s idealized.

I felt comfortable with my body. I’ve been doing yoga for a while now. That makes you aware of how your body moves. I have found a place of stability when it comes to how to view my figure.”

… says Crystal.

Do you think Crystal can pull off the hot babe in a bikini model look or do you prefer her in high-fashion editorials?

Many more after the jump!

Former plus-size model Crystal Renn showed up at a sports Illustrated event last night and looked slim(mer) in a black ensemble on the red carpet. It seems that her weight loss has been bothering various media outlets that supported Crystal while she was trying to make it as a plus-size model – from Radar:

“Everyone rallied around her and now she’s turned against us,” PLUS Model Magazine Editor-in-Chief Madeline Jones told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “We have been betrayed by her.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the 5’9” beauty was a shadow of her former self when she walked the red carpet in a skintight scarlet Zac Posen gown at the New York premiere of Madonna’s W.E., prompting fears she has fallen back into bad habits.

“After Emme, Crystal was the biggest plus size supermodel in our era and a lot of readers aspired to be like her,” explained Jones.

She went on to enjoy several years as a plus-sized model before revealing in November 2010 that she had dropped several dress sizes due to taking up hiking and yoga. Jones for one doesn’t believe her explanation. “You don’t lose that much weight doing yoga and hiking! You have to put a  lot of effort  to go from a 14 to a size 6,” she told RadarOnline.com. “We’re not that stupid, we know how hard it is to lose weight and she insulted our intelligence.

“The thinner she got the more she was being pitched to mainstream brands. Suddenly the same woman who wrote Hungry was slimming and slimming.

“Once she got down to a size 10 she lost the support of a lot of people. We’re disappointed because she was our star fighting for equality and fashion for us, and now she’s going to their side.

“It is sad that she’s turned her back on us,” lamented Jones. Renn recently blasted back to critics on her Ford Models blog: “When this whole weight loss thing happened, I think that a lot of people wanted to point their finger at somebody. I think that they wanted to find a conspiracy where there absolutely was none,” she wrote. While Jones understands that it is Renn’s freedom of choice to lose weight, she says she should have been honest about her motivations.

“She should have said she wasn’t comfortable in her skin anymore and wanted to make more money. Instead she has deceived us and we feel insulted! It would be great for her to come out with a better explanation, though I doubt we will get one.”

Ouch! What do you guys think?
