The 27-year-old, from Panama, has been very outspoken about how her voluptuous curves have led to several challenges in public spaces.
She highlighted one of those challenges on Monday (November 11) by taking to TikTok to share a clip of herself at a theme park.
The video showed Bon trying to sit in the “small” seats on a rollercoaster. She then moved the camera closer to show her backside before she pulled a stunned face to the camera and shook her head.
Watch Bon’s TikTok below:
The plus-sized model captioned the video: “Please just make the seats bigger,” in both English and Spanish.
She also had a voiceover over the No Doubt ‘Just A Girl’ song, saying: “When you want to get on the roller coaster. I tried to do the seat test, only size XL girls will understand. The seat belt didn’t close, these things happen to me because I have big legs.”
Many viewers flooded the comment section with mixed responses to her plight. “Stop making everything a problem!! the world doesn’t revolve around you!!” one user slammed.
Another echoed: “The world is not the problem n does not have to cater to you. Do better big homie,” and a third blasted: “Sucks to be you. That’s your own fault.”
A fourth commented: “Why should they spend a fortune to make bigger seats for people who have no self-control, the entitlement is ridiculous.”
However, some people agreed with her as one user penned: “They should make them bigger!! It’s 2024 we come in ALL SIZES!!”

The content creator is no stranger to controversy as she previously made headlines after sharing a video of her struggling to fit into her plane seat.
“Airplanes should have bigger seats,” she told her followers. “So today I had a flight, and even if I was flying in first class, I couldn’t fit on the airplane seat. So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me can fly. It’s not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger!”
As she was allegedly banned from airlines after asking them to accommodate to her figure, which she has claimed is all-natural, she has no choice but to travel in a private jet.
The model posted a clip about her expensive solution, which showcased the aircraft’s spacious interior, including a “VIP” bathroom where she could easily freshen up.
She reflected on her new mode of travel, saying it is “the best thing that has happened” since her alleged airline ban.
Is it possible that Bon will now purchase her own theme park so she can design seats for her derriere? Let’s wait and see.
