Chick Who Founded A Night Club For Fat Chicks Is Forced To Resign As Figurehead Because She Lost Weight

 

DMA mother who founded the world’s first nightclub specifically for larger women has stepped down as figurehead of the group after losing 17 stone, having been warned by doctors that the excess weight could leave her paralysed. Shadoe Grey, 49, set up Club Curves in LA, California, seven years ago, when she weighed 25 stone. But when she dropped to just eight stone her frame no longer represented her company and she felt she had to step down. The mother-of-one had previously loved her larger size – and admits receiving plenty of male attention – but when doctors warned that her health was in danger she decided to change her lifestyle. Shadoe said: ‘I set up Club Curves after suffering fat discrimination – but when I lost weight I was bullied for being too thin. ‘It’s left me devastated – I’ll never get stop feeling like an outcast from my own people. I’ve lost a lot of friends along the way because they couldn’t accept that I’m not fat anymore. ‘But even though I’ve been forced into the shadows, I’m still flying the flag for big women.”You feel the same way and want them to listen but people said ‘What the hell do you know?’ I was a skinny white girl who looked like Barbie.’ After suffering the backlash from her clientele, Shadoe shut the club down for a year before opening it again without herself as the figurehead.

At first I thought this was kind of fucked up. An HMS Bounty type mutiny by a bunch of angry fat chicks chucking their former leader overboard. But fair is fair. I mean if Club Curves started letting in skinny white girls who look like a Barbie then what’s next? We have to start letting fat girls into normal clubs? No fucking thank you. You guys can have your gross club with a male demographic exclusively of skinny black males. We’ll keep the good clubs. Not letting Shadoe into Club Curves anymore is kinda like not letting a white person drink from the black fountain during segregation. Just gotta laugh it off and be like “Umm, ok. Mine is way better anyway. See ya later.”
