Ralph Lauren Model Fillipa Hamilton Fired For Being TOO FAT (VIDEO)
Model Filippa Hamilton, who recently made headlines for the controversial Ralph Lauren ad (read more details), has been fired by Ralph Lauren’s clothing company because she was too fat. TOO FAT?? Filippa is a 5-foot-10, 120-pound and a healthy size 4 gorgeous woman.
The 23 year-old model revealed she was fired before the disastrous Ralph Lauren ad came out and she was shocked seeing the digitally altered unhealthy, unrealistic image of herself.
“They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore,” she said. “I was shocked to see that super skinny girl with my face,” she told the Daily News. “It’s very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that.”
Polo Ralph Lauren apologized for the controversial ad in a statement (photos here) but claims it had nothing to do with the end of the Filippa’s contract, which was explained “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.”
Filipa, who worked for Ralph Lauren since 2002, is concerned about the damages that image might cause in her career and its impact on the public. “I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology,” she said. “I’m very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.”
