Ashley Graham is too hot for TV! Two major television networks - NBC and ABC - reportedly refuse to air a new commercial for Lane Bryant starring Graham and other plus-sized models.

The 30-second clip shows Graham, the newest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl, and the other girls in their bras and panties as the camera shows close-ups of the ladies curvaceous bodies, as well as a woman breast-feeding.

"This body is made for being bold, powerful and sexy," one of the models says in the ad. Meanwhile, the breast-feeding model says: "This body is made for love."

Lane Bryant said that the ad was rejected "as is" and that the company was deciding whether or not to resubmit it for consideration.

"I don't think these models are any more nude than any other models we've seen on TV," a rep for the fashion brand said. "This was not a hard-hitting conversation about body positivity. This was a playful way to engage our women and all women."

NBC said that the ad was not rejected, but ABC has not released a comment about the Lane Bryant commercial.

"As part of the normal advertising standards process, we reviewed a rough cut of the ad and asked for minor edits to comply with broadcast indecency guidelines," a rep for NBC said. "The ad was not rejected and we welcome the updated creative."

This was not the first time an ad by Lane Bryant starring Graham had been rejected by networks. In 2010, ABC and Fox rejected a commercial that the networks deemed racy.

"Victoria's Secret commercials are airing all throughout the day, but when it comes to a Lane Bryant commercial, we have a little bit of extra, you know, overflowing, and then everybody freaks out," Graham said at the time.

The Lane Bryant rep also referenced Victoria's Secret commercials #ImNoAngel, which held nothing back - just like ist brand's This Body campaign.

"It is a true celebration of women of all sizes doing what makes them feel beautiful," Lane Bryant said, "whether its breast-feeding their newborn, flaunting their bodies the way they see fit, breaking down barriers all around and simply being who they are or want to be!"
