Lingerie Company Asked to Remove Ads Featuring Curvy & Disabled Models


“Body shaming is real.”

So declares the women behind the Georgia-based lingerie company LiviRae, who were allegedly asked to remove photos of curvy and differently-abled models from their Kennesaw storefront.

LiviRae CEO Molly Hopkins told Today that the shop’s property manager told her the photos featured in the company’s latest body-positive campaign, Real Bras, Real Women, Real Stories, were “in poor taste.”

The property manager is an asshole and hasn't been laid lately. I say while biting my cheek from the inside hard.

Thank goodness she persists.

Thanks for sharing this, LakeArenal.

Good for these gals that they didn't back down.
