Plus-size model Tess Holliday was one of many women to hit out at a Florida man who went viral with a letter praising his 'curvy wife' this week.

The 32-year-old model took to Instagram on Friday to blast Robbie Tripp, 26, claiming that his post being attracted to his wife was nothing to applaud. 'Stop giving men trophies for doing the bare minimum,' she wrote.

But not everyone was impressed with Tess' critique, including Sacramento 'fit mom' Maria Kang.

Taking it on: 'Fit mom' Maria Kang has hit out at Tess Holliday for not promoting 'positivity in all its forms' when she criticized a man's tribute to his 'curvy wife'

Claim to fame: Maria gained wide attention for her own controversial post featuring this image of her with her three children back in 2015

After reading about Tess' takedown of Robbie, who had written about how glad he is to not subscribe to the 'very narrow and very specific standard of beauty' women are so often subjected to, Maria couldn't believe the negativity coming from the body positivity activist.

'Did anyone read this story about a husband loving his wife regardless of size?' Maria wrote on Facebook about Robbie's post. 'I thought it was a sweet tribute of someone loving their spouse despite any standard.

'When I see someone like Tess Holliday criticize this, it's disheartening. Tess is an obese model (not thick, plus size or curvy) who has popularized the term #effyourbeautystandards and should promote positivity in all forms.'

Maria rose to fame back in 2013 with her own provacative post, which featured her posing with her three young children and showing off her toned body in active wear.

Another take: Maria described Robbie Tripp's post about his wife 'sweet' and blasted Tess for spouting negativity about it

Keeping it clean: Maria has gained a following for her workouts and her openness about fitness and body image

Another look: Maria also wrote that Tess is an 'obese' model, not 'thick, plus size or curvy'

Standing up: Tess hit out at the man who went viral for a post fawning over his 'curvy wife' with her own post on Friday

In the caption, she famously asked: 'What's your excuse?'

Many critics shot back at Maria at the time, claiming that her post promoted unrealistic expectations among mothers and was even an example of mom-shaming.

Since then, Maria has continually posted openly about her own body image issues and even about her marriage. Last year, she admitted that she has gained 10lbs in weight since 2013 and slacked on her workouts, explaining that over the past year she separated from her husband and even dealt with depression.

Speaking to Yahoo, Maria added that: 'Tripp’s post was a sweet tribute to his wife, but we live in a highly sensitive culture where people want to be applauded for self-acceptance rather than accept it from someone else.'

She added that she thinks Tess believes it is 'anti-feminist' to want a man to find them attractive.

'She has a hard, militant stance regarding outside validation, as symbolized in her #effyourbeautystandards campaign,' she said.

Gone viral: Robbie Tripp, 26, went viral for his letter playing tribute to his wife's 'thick thighs', 'big booty', and 'cute little side roll'

In context: Many users took to social media claiming that the praise heaped on Robbie for his post was misplaced

On Friday, Tess had shared a tweet by user @SoulThot, which outlined her feelings on the matter, reading: 'Guy likes curvy woman* 16,667 favs, national news. Curvy woman likes herself* 12 favs, 48 people in your mentions talking about diabetes.'

Along with the tweet, Tess wrote in her post: 'This is so real. Stop giving men trophies for doing the bare minimum.'

In addition to that snapback, Tess also unearthed a transphobic tweet Robbie made back in 2015.

'Born a Bruce, always a Bruce. Clothes, make-up, surgery, and public acceptance still won't change how you came into this world,' he wrote, in reference to Caitlyn Jenner.

'Also I'm not here for someone who says transphobic things,' Tess added to her post.

Other Twitter users agreed with Tess about Robbie's fawning post about his wife, with one writing: 'I would dump a guy so quickly for patting himself on the back for having the audacity to date me.'

Telling it straight: Tess posted on Instagram saying that people should offer men 'trophies for doing the bare minimum'

Looking back: Tess also shared a two-year-old transphobic tweet by Robbie

Not impressed: Tess was just one of many women who thought Robbie's tribute fell pretty short of being actually feminist

The original: Robbie's post saw him praise his wife because she 'fills out every inch of her jeans

Another added: 'Strong contender for least fave type of male feminist is "man who thinks liking a curvy woman is revolutionary."'

In his post, Robbie claimed that: 'As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as "chubby" or even "fat."'

As he got older, Robbie claims that he began educating himself about feminism, and in doing so he earned a better understanding of how warped the standard of beauty has become thanks to the media.

He said he also realized 'how many men have bought into that lie'.

'For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman right here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll, etc,' he said.

'Her shape and size won't be the one featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan but it's the one featured in my life and in my heart.'
