They fired me because I am too fat!

Filippa Hamilton, model, whose image was bizarrely thinned down during retouching process raised discrimination charges against Ralph Lauren because, she claims, they fired her because she was too fat.

- They fired me and said that I was too fat - said 23-year-old Filippa.

- They told me that I do not fit their style because I became too big. I worked for them since I was 15, they were like a family to me. This made their reaction even more hurtful - said Filippa.

Filippa said that they fired her back in April, before her ‘photoshopped’ images appeared in Ralp Lauren’s ads.

- I saw pictures of that extremely thin girl later. I saw my face on the body that wasn’t mine. I am very sad. This image shows that Ralph Lauren wants to promote this look, a look that’s wrong and unhealthy. It is a bad example. When young girls see this picture, they will think that figure like that is something normal, but it actually isn’t - she explained.

Fashion house Ralph Lauren, denied Fillipa’s allegations and explaned that cooperation was terminated because of her inability to meet contract's obligations, says the Daily Mail.
