Mindy Kaling has taken to Twitter to speak out on the controversy surrounding her front cover for the new issue of ELLE magazine.
The publication chose the 34-year-old as one of four women to front different covers for their annual Women In TV special.
However, a backlash has ensued online after it was revealed that Mindy was the only one not to be shown in a full-body shot, leading many to criticise the mag for allegedly treating her differently because of her size. See the cover here.

Mindy has responded on Twitter, saying: "I love my @ELLEmagazine cover. It made me feel glamorous & cool. And if anyone wants to see more of my body, go on thirteen dates with me."
She'd previously joked: "Wishing for more skin on my @ELLEmagazine cover? Chris Messina & I are naked on a brand new #themindyproject tonight, ya pervs!
"(It's actually, coincidentally, true. Thank heavens my writers constantly script nudity. So: super funny, totally nude Chris/Mindy tonight!)".
ELLE are no strangers to this kind of reaction, after Melissa McCarthy found herself at the centre of a similar 'scandal' last year. She then insisted that she had chosen her own cover herself.
