(KTLA) – Two female ... social media influencers say they were denied entry into a popular Los Angeles nightclub because of their size.
Ella Halikas said a bouncer told her and fellow “curvy model" Alexa Jay they couldn’t follow their friends into The Highlight Room in Hollywood.
“(Alexa) asked him, ‘Hey what’s going on? I’m with that party you just let in,’ and he said, ‘I know,’ and looked her up and down and said, ‘Not tonight,’”
The women shared their story on social media and said it has resonated with women all over the country.
“It was so dehumanizing,” said Jay. “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.”
The women believe this problem goes beyond one nightclub. Halikas said 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.’
Halikas [claimed] her career as a model had put her on runways and on the pages of Sports Illustrated magazine, but it still didn’t stop her from being turned away.
The Tao Group, operators of The Highlight Room, responded to the incident by saying:
“We are aware of their experience. The doorman on this evening worked for a third-party promotion company and we’ve removed this individual from the door effective immediately."
The women say ... they don’t believe just firing one doorman is enough. They’re hoping to work on systemic change in the industry while inspiring and empowering other plus-sized women.

so are we talking abut ‘Thicker, curvy’ women or elephantine porkers here?
We put women on display with a 3% body fat as what a healthy pretty woman should look like now, but 150 years ago they would not have made it through a single harsh winter.
Bull.
Women were smaller in the past, obese women like these two wouldn't live very long due to substandard health care. Go to any museum with clothes from the 1800's and look at the size of the waists, most women were tiny back then and the men not much bigger. They didn't work out and weren't as muscular as today, but they also didn't have all the body fat hanging on them that today's women have.
Show me a woman that's idolized today with 3% body fat. A female bodybuilding freak taking testosterone that looks like a man will be 8-9% body fat. Most women that look good in a bikini today are going to be in the 18-20% body fat range.
Maybe the fire safety limit was a certain number of people and fat girl counted as two. So need to keep her out so two skinny chicks can enjoy the evening.
But, are men ever rejected from a club because of their looks? I don’t know what people do today. I haven’t been club-age for 30 years, but back in my day (long, long ago), women would’ve been more angry about being left outside by their friends. Either your whole group got into a club, or your whole group didn’t go in.
When I was dating, I used one of those websites. I learned the lingo after my first encounter with a heifer. Round=fat, curvy=fat, rubenesque=fat, average=fat, normal=fat, soft=fat, husky=fat, buxom=fat, full-figure=fat, well endowed=fat, comfortable=fat, voluptuous=fat.
Men are rejected for a whole host of reasons. Even if they can pay. Bouncers will say “occupancy limit” if they have to. Then they let a couple hot guys or gals in, but the hot guys still pay.
yea...there was always Laz’s house.
those big girls would of had a far better time..
“Being a chubbo lover makes you a real man”
I had a buddy in the Army he always said “the fatter the better”. He always got laid especially at his apt complex.
“These same women don’t mind all men have to pay entry into these clubs. These sme women don’t mind judging men on looks all night at the clubs.”
The men not only have to pay but have to have “the Look” as in the money look.
I once, over 30 years ago, worked with a couple of guys who had grown up in NYC. They told us what it took to get into the better clubs in NYC and it was INSANE.
Hand made Italian shoes that cost more than my entire wardrobe. Jacket and trousers with whose cost Mother Theresa could have operated with for a year. And a guy had to have the bearing of being one who “belonged” with the upper crust, no social climbers allowed.
And one Club Suit wasn’t enough. He said if you showed up at the same club twice wearing the same suit you didn’t get in. These guys each had at least three different suits they would cycle through. Guys spent thousands just to have the pleasure of buying overpriced drinks for snotty wenches.
I’m glad I grew up in the country without all that nonsense.
Thank you, great information and stories.
LOL. And his friend left him out there! :-(
No, just reveals the size of you wank. Small d-ck, fat old men go for small women. Men with big ones go for the large women.
Keep telling yourself that
Right moment I can see pictures of my mom and grandmother (born in mid 1920s and 1890s) and neither of them were even remotely that big, not even close
Are women “dehumanizing” short men when they say, “not tonight,” when they reject his advances?
Get use to it tubbies. These fatties would get a dose of reality at a European night club where fatties are not allowed at all, of either sex.
Well, there is plus sized, and there is PLUS+ sized (heifer).
Yes itis. She appears to be a hoarder as well.
