A plus-size polyamorous travel influencer who demanded free airline seats for fat travelers revealed that the ‘gym rats’ who troll her on TikTok have also propositioned her for sex on Tinder.
Jaelynn Chaney, 27, posted a video of herself strutting near an indoor pool in a white and green bikini, while exposing that “hardcore gym enthusiasts” have been shaming her on social media, but “slipping into her Tinder every day.”
In another video, the TikToker, also known as Jae Bae, who has amassed more than 136,000 followers, was seen kissing her fiance in a hot tub as she revealed that they are in a polyamorous relationship.
In her clip about trolls approaching her on the dating app, Chaney walked with a confident smile while narration and Tinashe’s song ‘Nasty’ played in the background.
‘You gym rats love to troll my TiKTok comments, saying all sorts of things about bigger women. But guess that? “Those same guys come into my Tinder messages every day,” she said.

Chaney continued: ‘Make it make sense! Society wants to convince you that only one body type is desirable, but the truth is much more interesting.
“Many guys, yes, even those gym enthusiasts, are attracted to bigger women.”
“You can continue projecting your insecurities into my comments, but that won’t change the facts,” the influencer said.
Commenters quickly flocked to her post and showed their support. ‘It’s a fetish. I was also older and many gym mates fetishized me,” one wrote.
Another said: “They’re literally all in our DMs but they talk shit face to face.”
Other commenters disagreed with his statement, with one writing: “Wait until you learn that these guys have an extremely unhealthy fetish, unhealthy mostly for the people who fall for them.”
“I’m calling BS on this case,” said another.
In another clip, he showed a video of a woman and two men dancing while the men kissed and pulled the woman closer to them.
The clip was followed with her and her fiancé kissing in a hot tub as she said: “When you have a ride or you die but you’re polyamorous and you want a boyfriend too.”
In another clip, the plus-size travel influencer was seen kissing her fiancé and sharing that they are in a polymeric relationship.
The influencer captioned the video: ‘Plus size, polyamorous and queer,’ with a smiley face emoji.
Chaney previously said airline passengers should fund free seats for plus-size travelers, as she sat proudly without her oxygen tank after four years of flying with her breathing apparatus.
He explained to his followers that he had previously needed supplemental air to ensure he could breathe comfortably in the plane’s pressurized cabin.
In a video of his experience, Chaney held up his seat belt and smiled as he demonstrated how far it is extended.
Dramatic music played as Chaney pondered, “What if I have a medical emergency on the plane?”
Then he asked, “What happens if I cause an emergency landing?”
But he stopped and announced: ‘No, forget it. No matter what they say or what it seems, traveling is for everyone.’
The video then showed Chaney being carried through the airport gate and onto the plane.
Chaney then showed how she had loosened her seat belt while sitting in her seat.
Chaney also recently uploaded a video to his TikTok channel showing how he flew without his portable oxygen tank for the first time in four years.
The plus-size influencer, who has more than 136,000 followers on TikTok, has previously called on the FAA to provide overweight people with up to three free seats when they fly.
In his caption, Chaney explained the context of his flight and recounted how for the past four years he has relied on “supplementary oxygen” when flying.
“It all started in 2019, after a hospital stay where they suspected he had suffered a stroke,” Chaney wrote.
‘It turns out that it was pulmonary hypertension and since then I needed oxygen therapy. Traveling was no longer the same.’
He said he went “from chasing waterfalls in Hawaii” to “everything being so different.”
After conducting intense research, the influencer found portable oxygen concentrators.
“I shared my discoveries online, thinking this was going to be my new normal.”
But Chaney considered portable oxygen concentrators “not a walk in the park.”
He said using the device was “expensive, stressful and downright terrifying.”
‘But guess that? I did it and it turned out 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 an employee at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport who refused to push her in a wheelchair because of her weight.
“My ordeal at SeaTac Airport will shock you,” he said in a TikTok.
Chaney, who can walk, detailed how he requested wheelchair assistance on a recent flight, as he always does.
However, Chaney claimed that when she attempted to disembark the plane, the employee assigned to help her began to walk away when he realized he was supposed to help the plus-sized woman.
The travel influencer said that as the employee walked away with the wheelchair she was making comments about her size. Chaney said her ordeal left her breathless.
Chaney created a Change.org petition in April 2023 to demand that the FAA protect plus-size travelers. He has received more than 39,000 signatures
“Even when I told her I really needed the chair and to 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 an airplane.
“Then they forced me up one of the longest airplane bridges I’ve ever encountered and she didn’t stop,” the 27-year-old continued in her speech.
When Chaney was finally allowed to reach the wheelchair and sit down, he claimed his lips were white, his oxygen levels had dropped, and he almost passed out.
According to Chaney, by assuming she could walk and not push her off the jet bridge, the employee was discriminating against the plus-sized woman.
Remaining silent is no longer an option,” Chaney said of the “discrimination” he faced. “If you have faced something similar, you are not alone.”
She continued, “Discrimination is real and I don’t want ANYONE else to experience something like this.”
Chaney recently documented a flight on which she said she was discriminated against by a Seattle-Tacoma International Airport employee who refused to push her in a wheelchair because of her weight.
Chaney also presented a list of policies that would ensure that “size customers” are accommodated and treated with respect during the flight, including asking the FAA to provide three seats to overweight people.
Users in the comments quickly showed their support for the 27-year-old. “I’m so sorry darling,” one wrote.
‘Sending positivity! “No one should be discriminated against because of their body or abilities,” wrote another.
