5'10" 120 pounds and fired for being overweight


Posted: Oct 14, 2009

This woman was fired from Ralph Lauren for being overweight.  They still used her head in shots for their campaign, but on a super skinny coat hanger body!  I still cant get over that some people want to see clothes on literally skin and bones with pretty faces!  I know that too fat is not really sexy, but too skinny should be just as unsexy!  I like the campaign ads for the Fruit of the Loom plus size line where they use plus size models, but even that is not FAT!  Why can't models just be healthy and not lose their jobs because they are?

The model did not say that was the reason fired - Saw this tonight

This model was fired and they asked if because of her weight and she said she was not told that, just let go. She said her weight had remained the same for all the years she had worked for him. Maybe it is because she is getting a little age on her.

she did!!! - :)

she was talking about that being the reason and how it was unfair for women. Ralph Lauren denies this, but is not defending the reason. She was let go because "as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us" and this is what she said... Hamilton says she was let go because she'd become too fat to model for them. "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore," she explained. "I was shocked to see that super skinny girl with my face...It's very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that."
