The 37-year-old was offended when asked about her curvy shape and got her publicist to ask the journalist to rephrase her question, reported Daily Mail.

"You have been an inspiration as a full-figured woman. What is the most inspiring story that you can remember where you've inspired someone?" the reporter had asked.

Seeming a little flustered at the question, Hendricks replied, "Um, I don't know... I'm sorry."

But again the reporter asks, "You've been known as an inspiration for women as being a full-figure..."

Hendricks interjects, telling the journalist: "I mean... You just said it again."

But later the journalist insisted she didn't hear the PR's request to discontinue asking questions about her "full-figure."

 

Hendricks later said off-camera, "I think calling me full-figured is just rude."
