Discrimination or Fair Play? Car Model Dismissed Because Breasts “Too Small”
Posted: 09/16/2014 9:22 amThe firing of a model from a car show in China had drawn media attention after the woman returned to confront the firm that let her go — with TV cameras.
The organizer of the car show fired the model, Xiaowang, admitting openly that she was dismissed because her breasts were “a problem” and were not up to his organization’s standards. The problem, at least for him, is the model was fired after she had signed a four-day contract, and had already worked the first day.
The university student and part-time model was incensed at the breach of contract, so came back to the car show with a TV news program in tow. They tracked down this guy, named Xie:
Breasts, it was a problem with her breasts
We had already accepted her,
(and then we found) there were many layers of padding (inside her bra)
to prop it up
But there was no way, all we could do was fire her
Xie said he was forced to go with another model with better “experience” that can fill in the role.
Xie was unwilling to pay Xiaowang the complete salary for four days of work according to the signed contract, instead paying her for three days.
Video of the exchange can be seen below, but Xie doesn’t go into detail about any of his explanations.
