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.”

You live in LA, and you are shocked by being judged by superficiality?
warning dangerous curves ahead
I would add: There might be some sense in clubs allowing bottom-tier women like these if they were likely to talk to bottom-tier guys.
But these two appear to have such a huge sense of entitlement and inflated self-image that they would only want attention from tall handsome guys and treat anybody who was less than Prince Charming with disdain.
So... her agent told her she was beautiful and that her looks would open doors for her. An unfazed gatekeeper in silicone & surgery city said otherwise.
UGLY with an attitude is no way to go through life
I missed the part where her friends turned around and exited, refusing to patronize the discriminatory club.
no fat chicks, sad.
The owner fired the doorman and tried repeatedly to get in touch with the 2 girls. But, no. They have to post it all over, say it isn’t enough, garner sympathy, possibly encourage violence against the bar and owner thus resulting in lost wages, and perhaps closure, etc. What a couple of disgusting women.

LOL, so true. I lived in LA for 20 years - those establishments only let in certain people. If not famous, you better be young and attractive. It is what made them successful - the lines are long to get in. It’s fine with me. It’s Hollywood.

So fat women can’t be lawyers now?
What gives?
no pictures! it is safe to read.
Those b*tches can lose weight, I can't get taller.
Ok, I’ll ask... But would Laz hit it?
“This is misleading...I like curvy women, but not spherical women.”
I believe the word to describe your preference is rubenesque, as opposed to morbidly obese.
I wonder if they would let that beauty pageant winner from yesterday in,
NOT
Translation: Go be fat somewhere else.
There’s thick plump big obese and damn.
Try being a guy that looks like he doesn’t have any money and get into these clubs. That’s the doorman’s job, only let in guys who look like they’ll spend lots of money and hot girls who will inspire these guys to spend lots of money. If the club starts getting a reputation for having fat porker chics like these everywhere then the rich guys will quit coming, nobody goes to a club with the intention of meeting fat women. Calling yourself a model doesn’t mean much nowadays. I looked at her pictures and she’s morbidly obese, nobody wants to see that in a miniskirt on a dance floor.
