Woman told to cover up at theme park after being told her ‘big breasts make people uncomfortable’
A MODEL claims she was told to cover up at a theme park for wearing a crop top after being told her “big breasts make people uncomfortable”.
Whitney Paige Venable, 26, from Florida, and visited Universal Studios in Orlando and says she was shocked at how she was treated by staff.
The model claims that an employee informed her that she would have to cover up her cleavage if she wanted to be let into the park.
Whitney was wearing a white crop top and mint green shorts but says many other women were wearing similar outfits.
“I felt humiliated and embarrassed,” said Whitney, who has 1.6 million followers on Instagram.
“I was told I had to change my top to be able to enter. I think it’s because I have naturally big breasts and it makes people uncomfortable but at far as I know my clothing wasn’t against the rules.
“I feel like I was discriminated against because of the size of my breasts. I noticed other people staring and I felt really embarrassed. It was humiliating.”
The incident happened in 2021 but has only come to light this week.

In a video Whitney can be on her way into Universal Studios with a friend, with the pair looking excited for their day out.
Moments later, their happy mood is crushed as a second video shows them standing at the entrance to the park, waiting to be let in as Whitney is then reportedly told her outfit is “inappropriate”.
“So, I guess my top is inappropriate for Universal, we’re having a problem right now,” she can be heard saying.
In a follow-up video, Whitney, who has been turned away at the entrance, says: “So apparently I have to go change into a more appropriate top even though I’ve seen a lot of people here in sports bra-looking tops.”
Speaking about the incident, she said: “I felt like I was being targeted and it was the summer so it was hot, I didn’t really understand [the issue] but having natural large breast brings attention.
“I ended up putting on another top over the sports bra, my friend had another top in the car.
“But I ended up taking it off later on in the park because it was hot and ugly and the fact I was judged really p***** me off.
“Smaller women can wear whatever they want – having big breasts however gets sexualised.”
Last year, Whitney claims she was banned by Twitter after people reporting her saucy snaps.
“One day, I changed my cover photo to an innocent shot of me showing off my figure – but I was wearing underwear,” she said.
“And suddenly, my account was banned. It made me feel discriminated against because there are far worse pictures on Twitter. It’s not fair.”
Universal Studios have been approached for comment.
