FEMALE clubbers were refused entry into Havana nightclub on Saturday night for being too fat.

Police were called to calm the situation outside the Halkett Street club as bouncers and manager Martin Sayers allegedly told women to ‘go away and lose some weight’.

Over 20 women are expected to give statements to the police today and a Facebook page, labelled Havana Club Jersey Discrimination and using an image from US cartoon Family Guy, has already attracted over 100 supporters calling for Islanders to boycott the club.

Georgina Mason was one of the ladies refused entry. The 23-year-old, who works for Lloyds TSB, had been enjoying a night out with friends when it turned sour.

‘About five or six or us got to Havana at about 11.30 pm and the bouncers said we were not allowed in because we were too big. I told them not to be ridiculous and asked to speak to the manager,’ she said.

‘When the manager came out he would not look at me directly but said that they had received too many complaints about fat people and he told me: “Go and lose some weight before you can come in – fat people are bad for business.”

somebody is gonnga get sued!

Oh geez, that's awful. That will totally be a lawsuit.

GTLifter · 07-31-2008, 03:43 PM

yup...

a private business can legally refuse to do business with someone for no reason at all but to say "go home fattie" is what will get them into deep shit...

GFH · 07-31-2008, 03:54 PM

being fat isn't a protected class

slimm26 · 07-31-2008, 03:55 PM

That is so wrong!!!

Verbally insulting someone which, according to our court system, causes pain & suffering is a great way to get hit with a lawsuit.

Wow...

Tweak · 07-31-2008, 03:59 PM

Discrimination and harassment are both against the law. They have legitimate grounds for a lawsuit.

Yeah I know

We had a woman try to sue us once because she broke the office chair in her cubicle and we wouldn't buy her a stronger one to support her lard. She tried to sue us for discrimination and it got tossed with the quickness.

*Bunny* · 07-31-2008, 04:01 PM

It's easy to say they've reached capacity...and no need to offer an explanation.

Private party etc.

celebs get turned away ALL the time b/c of their behaviors or 'rep'...

What an idiot.

getjacked · 07-31-2008, 04:09 PM

welcome to america, home of the sue happy

i wish this country wasn't so.. like this. i mean who cares? if i ran a club i would deny fat people too, especially women (except myself hahaha) because lets face it that shit does hurt business. maybe if clubs served food it'd be good for it, but alas

yeah he shouldn't of said that, but still

fatness is not one of the protected classes

"Title VII of the Act, codified as Subchapter VI of Chapter 21 of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e [2] et seq., prohibits discrimination by covered employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin (see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2[18])."

When you are breaking furniture it should be a huge wake up call that you need to drop some weight. Even when I was 270+ the only piece of furniture I broke was a chair that I intentionally threw off a balcony.

getjacked · 07-31-2008, 04:15 PM

and fwiw legally it's not discrimination.

Immortalis · 07-31-2008, 04:15 PM

Handled completely incorrectly and without any class whatsoever....

That being said, I'd gladly go to a bar/club that had a no-fatass policy!

Immortalis · 07-31-2008, 04:16 PM

I mean, its always the fat bitches that are cock-blocking you from their hot friends any-damn-way!

Tweak · 07-31-2008, 04:18 PM

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa you guys are going to step on a lot of toes with some of the stuff you're saying. You know there have been a lot of girls who have been bigger in the past.

Myself included. I wasn't huge but I was still was somewhat heavy.

I would have been crippled emotionally if I were publically humiliated like that.

getjacked · 07-31-2008, 04:33 PM

i'm not trying to say it's "right" but that hey, most club owners don't want overweight women in their clubs. i know a couple who run some clubs in SF and while they won't go out and call them fat and say leave, they won't let them in and just say it's too full.

it's the same way that premier vegas clubs do not like single men going in.. cuz a club full of cock is not a place people want to go to.

RagingBull666 · 07-31-2008, 04:36 PM

I wish I were there that night!! I like thick chicks and would have comforted them in their time of need!!

cranny · 07-31-2008, 04:54 PM

Come on, big girls need lovin too

. I understand the reason but the way they went about it was so wrong. Very cruel and cold hearted.
Like getjacked stated, this is the most litigious country in the world. Isn't that the new american dream, either to sue someone or win the lottery?

GTLifter · 07-31-2008, 05:01 PM

That's my plan, there have got to be tons of female doctors that are looking for a stay at home dad. I could totally pimp a minivan to soccer practice.

Kabeetz · 07-31-2008, 05:08 PM

This happens in manhattan all the time.. if u aren't dressed right, or are ugly or fat they just don't let u in and tell you to go home and change. It's pretty hilarious.
