A woman in Canada claims she was told her outfit at her local gym was inappropriate, simply because she has large breasts.
In a shocking Facebook post, Jenna Vecchio wrote that she was working out at the Movati Athletic gym in Orleans when a staff member approached her about her “inappropriate” tank top.
“I pointed out to them that my shirt was no different than any other woman’s shirt. They informed me that it did not matter that due to my chest size I could not wear a tank top,” she added.
Although Movati does have a dress code that asks its gymgoers to stick to modest outfits, Vecchio says it’s unfair to label her tank top as inappropriate just because she has a large chest.
“I felt humiliated and discriminated against due to my figure. I was singled out and it is unfair to say I cannot wear a tank top and other women can! Different figures means different rules?” she wrote.
Since sharing her story on Facebook, Vecchio’s post has been shared more than 4,000, but Movati claims she’s twisting the truth.
In a statement to BuzzFeed Canada, the gym said Vecchio “was not as modest as she has suggested via the images she shared recently on Facebook and through media interviews, and caused multiple members to feel uncomfortable and voice their concerns to our staff.”
