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.”

“The donut shop is on the next block down...”
A Jelly Donut! Are Jelly Donuts allowed the barracks, Private Pyle??? No? Because you are a disgusting fatbody!
Just what America does NOT need. More fat, drunk chicks. Besides, they'll eat all the snacks.
Numerous reasons to keep these fatties out - floor bearing load exceeded. 2. The narrow widths of the exits. 3. Undue strain on the bar stools.4. Limited amounts of peanuts and chips.
5.Possible injuries to male patrons from drunk fat chicks falling on them . . .
