A mum has claimed she has been banned from her son’s playgroup due to her “inappropriate” outfits. She suspects the ban is linked to an incident involving a swimming costume, but has firmly stood by her fashion choices.
Jodie Weston, 30, has been banned from her two-year-old son, Koa-Zayde’s, playgroup and said she was asked to “wear a more modest swimsuit.” The influencer has appeared on several TV shows, including Channel 5’s Rich Kids Go Skint and Rich Holiday Poor Holiday and BBC‘s Eating with My Ex.
As reported by Leeds Live, she explained: “I’ve been told to wear a more modest swimsuit before. My boobs did keep popping out, but it is what it is – they’re enormous.
“One mum suggested I go to Sports Direct and get a proper costume. So many of them eyeball me, looking me up and down with disgust.
“I also had one awkward moment recently where my lashes couldn’t fit in the goggles as they were too big. They were flapping about in the wind for the whole lesson.”
However, she has stood by her fashion choices. The 30-year-old DJ and influencer added: “I love getting dolled up to do fun activities with my son.
“It’s a few hours of the day where I can spend it all on myself, which is a rarity nowadays.
“I get to make myself look like the best version of me – and it’s not for anyone else’s approval – but for my own self-confidence only.
“What am I meant to do? Have a load of separate clothes that don’t upset them? I can’t help the way my body looks – and it’s not my fault I look better than them.”
Jodie also claimed that other mothers fear she’ll steal their husbands. She said: “But some mums have gotten the hump and think I’m doing it to steal their husbands away from them.
“Just because I put on a low-cut vest top doesn’t mean I’m trying to flaunt my assets. And a lacy leather corset with skin-tight trousers is a staple in my wardrobe.”
However, Jodie said the ban has made her “feel awful”. She has also been subject to trolling outside of the school.
She explained: “I feel awful about being banned, but I am really passionate about maintaining my identity, especially after becoming a mum. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice being glamorous just because I have a child.”
She added: “All people seem to notice now is my boob size. I feel comfortable with my body, but I’ve felt the need to speak with doctors about getting them reduced.
“At first, I loved my pregnancy boobs, but now, they’re a hindrance. I feel grateful to the universe, though.
“But it’s causing too much hassle for me in all aspects of life. My content is often censored on social media, and it’s just my body wearing clothes. It doesn’t seem like I’m accepted anywhere.”
