"Sorry no big girls for this party!" the listing read. "The doorman is very strict on appearance."
A woman's video detailing her experience of being discriminated against because of her weight has reignited the discussion around body image and beauty standards on social media. On Monday, Fallon Melillo, 27, shared a TikTok video in which she described how she was turned away from boarding a party bus because of her size. In the video, Ms Melillo explained that she was in Miami, Florida, with a group of friends when the incident occurred. The group decided to visit Daer dayclub on July 31. They purchased party bus tickets that would transport them to the club. However, after purchasing the tickets through a third-party service on Eventbrite, Ms Melillo noticed the company's Eventbrite listing had a disclaimer stating that "No big girls" were allowed. "Sorry no big girls for this party!" the listing read. "The doorman is very strict on appearance. If you have had problems getting into exclusive clubs before then this is not for you! Please don't waste your time nor ours thinking that we can get you inside if you know you do not meet the qualifications." According to the Independent, the listing has since been removed.More Related News
