*Winnie Harlow clapped back at the Daily Mail after the publication slammed her for complaining about having to fly coach.
The ANTM alum posted a pic on Instagram showing her asleep in a coach seat wearing a Prada tracksuit. She noted in the caption how she and her team had to “give up our business class seats in order to land in time for a huge shoot at 6am.”
“I haven’t slept in 4 days, and my flight got cancelled,” Harlow wrote on Instagram Wednesday. “The amazing airport escort got my team and I put on the fastest flight out but we had to give up our business class seats in order to land in time for a huge shoot at 6am.”
She added, “I realize this may not seem like a big deal to some, but when a plane is your bedroom and a flight the only time to get sleep during a hectic fashion month, it’s tiresome.”

Harlow noted that she was “grateful” for the experience and how “god works in mysterious ways and everything happens for a reason.”
“It’s not everyday glamour, you have to do what you have to do to be successful in life ?️ to reach your goals the grind never stops!,” she wrote.
But fans were quick to slam her for complaining about flying economy “while putting her shoes on a seat and donning a Prada tracksuit,” the Daily Mail wrote.
The publication’s criticism drew another IG response from Harlow, in which she named the Daily Mail:
This whole ‘woah is me’ take is sickening. Me not flying in business is a statement, not a moan. If the class mattered I could’ve waited for the next availability. If I can post pictures in business class and be proud, I can also take pictures in coach and be proud. Proud that making it to work is more important to me than how I got there. That is the message. Like I said, ‘the grind never stops.’ Put that in your headline.
Many of Harlow’s celebrity friends chimed in with support, including supermodel Beverly Johnson, who wrote: “You are the hardest working Supermodel. I enjoy your posts Winnie.”
But there were also critics such as the IG user who write: “People are dying in the world and all you have to complain about is having to sleep in economy seats. Jesus,” the critic wrote. “People work a 12 hour shift saving lives sleep for 5 hours and get up to do it all over again. You pose in front of a camera and sleep on a plane ??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️ I don’t get what the issue is.”
