Forever 21 Apologizes for “Fat Shaming”
Women are feeling fat-shamed after their online plus-size clothing order from Forever 21 included samples of Atkins diet bars.
The company says while the free samples were included in orders of all sizes of clothing, they’re sorry about the insensitive oversight.
“From time to time, Forever 21 surprises our customers with free test products from third parties in their e-commerce orders. The freebie items in question were included in all online orders, across all sizes and categories, for a limited time and have since been removed. This was an oversight on our part and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused to our customers, as this was not our intention in any way.”
Others on social media confirmed the bars were sent with all online orders — not just to plus-size customers.
