FAT ASS


Model Who Looks Emaciated in Ad Was Fired for Being Fat

The obviously Photoshopped advertisement is striking and immediately caused an uproar when it was posted online. In an ad for Ralph Lauren, which appeared only in Japan, the model, Filippa Hamilton, looks so ridiculously skinny that her hips appear to be smaller than her head. Now Hamilton tells the New York Daily News that she was fired in April because, at 5-foot-10 and 120 pounds, she weighed too much. "They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore," she said. Ralph Lauren says the "image in question was mistakenly released."
