OTTAWA — An Ottawa woman is pursuing a possible human rights complaint against a local health club that asked her not to wear a tank top because of the size of her breasts.
But the club, Movati Athletic, is fighting back against Jenna Vecchio, saying while it did not intend to embarrass her, it was she and her husband who chose to make the dispute public.
Vecchio says she has contacted a human rights lawyer and is considering her options after she was told by a female staff member at Movati that her form-fitting tank top was making other gym members uncomfortable.
The incident, which took place last Saturday after Vecchio and her husband had finished working out, left the woman shaken.
She wrote about it on Facebook shortly afterwards under the name Rose Nickels.
The post, including numerous pictures of Vecchio wearing the tank top in question, has since been shared nearly 5,000 times and attracted international media attention.
Vecchio said she has since had her membership cancelled and only heard through the media that Movati is standing by the decision to enforce its dress code.
