Ella Halikas says a bouncer told her and fellow “curvy” model, Alexa Jay, that they couldn’t follow their friends into The Highlight Room in Hollywood.
“(Alexa) asked him ‘Hey what’s going on? I’m actually with that party you just let in,’ and he said, ‘I know,’ and looked her up and down and said, ‘Not tonight,’” Ella said.
“It was so dehumanizing,” said Alexa. “It was like we were being looked through. If you experienced any type of discrimination like this, you know exactly how horrible and disgusting it feels and we are no longer letting this fly.”
The women believe this problem goes beyond one nightclub.
Halikas says she has received thousands of messages from other plus-sized women sharing similar stories of being turned away from bars and nightclubs.
“One of my plus-sized friends went to a club in New York City and they said, ‘Everyone else can come in,’” said Halikas. “They let in all her thin friends, got to her and said, ‘You can’t get in.’ She asked, ‘Why?’ and he goes, ‘If you want to come in, pay $4,000.”
“It felt like we were alone,” said Halikas. “It felt like we were plucked out of a crowd and I just felt like we need to share this because it’s not about us not getting into the Highlight Room, we don’t care. It’s the bigger picture of how many girls face this every single day. It was discrimination – 100 percent.”

Today Marilyn Monroe would be considered overweight.
So skip the donut next time.
There’s thick plump big obese and damn.
With Thick being 1 on the scale (lol), and Damn being 5, I’d say they are probably 3 & 4 respectively.
Wanna a whole lotta love....

Fatal Attraction?
Truly scary film.
Isn’t there a bar where skinny women aren’t allowed to go? Oh yeah...the ice cream bar.
it’s called a rope line for a reason...
Doorman duty: If she’s not HOT, she’s NOT.
Crappy friends. Leave part of the group outside?
Around here they let you in if you’re drinking and paying.
They look like they could be a lot of fun if they don’t mind stepping in as bodyguards occasionally.
Don’t go to those kind of clubs. They are meat markets. What does anyone think expect
“Thought leader” is the preferred nomenclature.
Bwahahahaha. Now that’s plain funny. Law suits galore
FAT witches taking advantage of pandering wokeism in this country. They ‘model’ and ‘tik tok’ for support when EVERYBODY knows they’d explode into a fat behemoth if they ever had a baby. Worthless and no real man really wants that beyond a “hit and quit.”
“warning dangerous curves ahead”
One of them is truly “curvy” and not bad looking, but the other one is kinda scary.
If I were a club owner I wouldn’t want them in it, just look at their faces, sullen, empty, vapid, eternally pissed.
Yeah, no thanks.
Oh good! She's going on a diet then, I assume.
