Polyamorous plus-size travel influencer who’s demanded free seats for fat fliers says ‘gym rats’ troll her on TikTok but proposition her for sex on Tinder
A plus-size polyamorous travel influencer who demanded free plane seats for fat fliers revealed that ‘gym rats’ who trolled her on TikTok have also propositioned her for sex on Tinder.
Jaelynn Chaney, 27, posted a video of herself wandering around an indoor pool in a white and green bikini as she exposed that “hardcore gym enthusiasts” have shamed her on social media but “slide into her Tinder messages every day.”
In another video, the TikToker also known as Jae Bae, who has amassed more than 136,000 followers, was seen kissing her fiancé in a hot tub as she revealed they are in a polyamorous relationship.
In her clip about trolls contacting her on the dating app, Chaney walked with a confident smile as her story and Tinashe’s song “Nasty” played in the background.
“You gym rats love to troll my TiKTok comments and say all kinds of things about bigger women. But guess what? Those same guys sneak into my Tinder messages every day,” she said.
Jaelynn Chaney, 27, posted a video of herself walking past an indoor pool in a white and green bikini while exposing “gym rats” who shamed her and “slipped into her Tinder messages every day.”
Chaney continued, “Make it logical! Society wants to convince you that only one type of body is desirable, but the truth is much more interesting.’
“Many guys, even hardcore gym goers, are attracted to bigger women.”
“You can keep projecting your insecurities into my comments, but it won’t change the facts,” the influencer said.
Commenters quickly flocked to her post, showing their support for her. ‘It’s a fetish. I was also bigger and a lot of gym bros fetishized me,” one person wrote.
Another said: ‘Literally, they’re all in our dms but talking face to face.’
Other commenters took issue with her claim, as one wrote: “Wait until you find out these guys have an extremely unhealthy fetish, especially unhealthy for the people who fall for them.”
“I’m going to call BS on this,” said another.
In another clip, she showed a video of a woman and two men dancing as the men kissed and pulled the woman closer.
The clip followed as she and her fiancé kissed in a hot tub as she said, “If you’re ride or die but are polyamorous and want a boyfriend too.”

The influencer captioned the video: “Plus size, Polyamorous, and Queer,” with a grinning emoji.
Chaney previously said airline passengers should fund free seats for plus-size travelers as she proudly went without her oxygen tank after four years of flying on her ventilator.
She explained to her followers that she previously needed supplemental air to ensure she could breathe comfortably in the pressurized airplane cabin.
In a video of her experience, Chaney held up her seat belt and smiled as she demonstrated how much it has been extended.
Dramatic music played as Chaney thought, “What if I have a medical emergency on the plane?”
She then asked, “What if I cause an emergency landing?”
But she stopped herself and announced, “No, forget that. Whatever they say and whatever it looks like, traveling is for everyone.’
The video then showed Chaney being driven through an airport gate to the plane.
Then Chaney showed how much her seat belt loosened as she sat in her seat.
Chaney also recently uploaded a video to her TikTok channel showing how she flew without her portable oxygen tank for the first time in four years
The plus-size influencer, who has more than 136,000 TikTok followers, has previously called on the FAA to provide overweight people with up to three free seats when flying
In her caption, Chaney explained the context of her flight, sharing how she has relied on “supplemental oxygen” while flying for the past four years.
“It all started in 2019 after a hospital stay where they suspected I was having a stroke,” Chaney wrote.
‘It turned out it was pulmonary hypertension, and since then I have needed oxygen therapy. Traveling just wasn’t the same anymore.’
She said she went “from chasing waterfalls in Hawaii” to “doing everything so differently.”
After doing intensive research, the influencer landed on portable oxygen concentrators.
‘I shared my discoveries online, thinking this would become my new normal.’
But Chaney found portable oxygen concentrators “a no-brainer.”
She said using the device was “expensive, stressful and downright scary.”
‘But guess what? I did it and it went better than I could have imagined,” she wrote triumphantly.
Chaney, of Vancouver, Washington, also used the experience to explain how she was discriminated against by a Seattle-Tacoma International Airport employee who refused to push her in a wheelchair because of her weight.
“My ordeal at SeaTac Airport will shock you,” she said in a TikTok.
Chaney, who can walk, then talked about how she requested wheelchair assistance on a recent flight, as she always does.
However, Chaney claimed that when she tried to leave the plane, the employee who was supposed to help her started walking away when she realized she had to help the plus-size woman.
The travel influencer said that as the employee walked away with the wheelchair, she commented about her size. Chaney said the ordeal left her gasping for breath.
Chaney created a Change.org petition in April 2023 to demand that the FAA protect plus-size travelers. It has received more than 39,000 signatures
“Even when I told her I really needed the seat and that she should let me sit in it, she blatantly ignored me and kept walking,” Chaney complained in the dramatic TikTok – which showed her walking down the aisles of a plane.
“I was then forced to walk onto one of the longest jet bridges I have ever encountered and she didn’t stop,” the 27-year-old continued in her rant.
By the time Chaney was finally allowed to reach the wheelchair and sit down, she claimed her lips were white, her oxygen levels had dropped and she was close to passing out.
According to Chaney, the employee discriminated against the plus-size woman by assuming she could walk and not pushing her onto the jet bridge.
Silence is no longer an option,” Chaney said of the “discrimination” she faced. “If you’ve dealt with something similar, you’re not alone.”
She continued, “Discrimination is real, and I don’t want anyone else to ever experience anything like this.”

Chaney also laid out a list of policies that would ensure “size customers” are housed and treated with respect while flying, including asking the FAA to make three seats available to overweight people.
Users in the comments were quick to show their support for the 27-year-old. “I’m so sorry honey,” one person wrote.
‘Send positivity! No one should be discriminated against because of their body or abilities,” wrote another.
