Is Dani Mathers The Worst Thing to Happen to Women?

[Anonymous]

I heard about this story on the radio this morning, and was absolutely disgusted. Some person named Dani Mathers, who is apparently a playboy playmate was at an L.A. Fitness Gym in the locker room, when she snap chatted about a woman in the gym locker room who was naked and about to enter into the sauna, with the caption above.

1. This is an absolute violation of privacy. The woman behind her thought she was in a safe space, a locker room, and people do absolutely go into the sauna naked so she was doing nothing wrong.

2. Unlike a lot of things we sort of randomly say are body shaming, this LITERALLY is body shaming. The woman in question wasn't trying to show off, she wasn't posting her own naked photo, she was in a locker room and to be made fun of, violated by a total stranger, for just probably trying to relax is insane.

3. Mathers issued an "apology" stating essentially that she didn't mean to snap chat the image publicly. She said she only meant for it to go to her friends which is not actually an apology to this innocent woman. It's not an apology...at all. It doesn't make it better if you sent it to one friend or the now thousands who have seen it.

4. L.A. Fitness notified the police as this was a complete violation of their policies as cell phone photos are not allowed in their locker rooms for obvious reasons, and have banned Mather's from all L.A. Fitness facilities for life. Mathers has also been fired from Playboy. And a police investigation is pending.

My two cents on this is women have to already deal with a bunch of BS from the world about our bodies. The least we can do is support each other and realize bodies can look all sorts of ways and still be normal. You see the body shaming on GaG all the time from people who if we looked behind the screens, are no perfect 10's themselves, but you don't have to be a so called perfect 10 to be normal and beautiful.

That doesn't even touch upon the worst of it. To have someone violate your personal privacy to make fun of you is absolutely beyond the worst of the worst. No one deserves to be treated like that. This woman was minding her business, wasn't hurting anybody, and now her image is everywhere. It doesn't matter if you can't see her face clearly. I hope she and the gym both sue this woman and/or press charges because...

Stop and imagine if that were you and you woke up to see the whole world viewing a photo of your naked body. Not only that, someone is body shaming you on top of it for simply being in a gym locker room in a moment you thought was completely private.

Your thoughts?

[Fathoms77]

THAT'S body shaming. THAT'S wrong. Anyone who supports women's rights - or privacy rights in general - would be absolutely correct to condemn this behavior.

Maybe the radicals and extremists can (hopefully) see the difference between this and going to topsy-turvy that we start to shame people for being fit and healthy.

[joseyyywhales]

Lol.

[LittleSally]

I love how her idioticism and bullying has ruined her life now... Nice!

=)

Karma... sometimes it really works.

[thisGUYknows]

what a shallow bitch. and that whole "i didn't mean it, i thought it was private" excuse by celebrities is complete utter fucking bullshit. they feel all high and mighty and that everyone is on their side until it blows up in their face like a shit filled birthday cake and THEN they apologize. I go to LA fitness so I'm glad they put her on the shit list. I'm kinda surprised playboy fired her to be honest but I applaud them for doing so. Even though I'm pretty sure the majority of the reason was because they knew they'd have a shit storm flying at them from all types of groups and communities. She should be sued, otherwise she's not gonna learn her lesson.

[myTake Owner]

As the hosts on the radio were pointing out, and I believe it to, I still don't think this woman has learned her lesson even being fired and all. I just think, if some guy had done this to her, she would be freaking out to the media to lawyers, to everyone, and the fact that she did this to a fellow woman, it's like seriously WTF. Even if a guy did this to another guy, everyone would be going insane. Yet, she seems to see no harm in what she did as evidenced by her stupid attempt at an apology. I'm with you, thankfully LA banned her for life and she got fired. That's something at least.

[StewieRH]

I agree, it is disgusting to treat someone that way.

As you say, this woman wasn't posing taking selfies or showing of or anything - Just minding her own business, getting changed in the locker room.

You're right, no one would like it if they woke up to see themselves naked online being body shamed - and I'm sure this "Dani" wouldn't like that either.

I'm glad they banned her from their sauna's and that she got fired from her job since she seems like a nasty piece of work.

Hope the woman in the locker room is okay and gets the support she needs.

I hope Dani gets problems with her body and gets made fun of so she can experience what such a thing must feel like. I doubt she'll get very far with getting a boyfriend too - Who wants to be with such a horrible, mean-spirited person?

Unless she changes her attitude, she'll likely only attract shallow guys only interested in her for her looks and once they wear off or find someone prettier, no one will be interested.

[vonasaurus]

so this bitch violated someone's privacy, broke gym rules, and body-shamed someone who was obviously there to better herself... and all she can say is that, oh, i didn't mean for it to go public?

correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure the purpose of a gym was to improve one's overall health and fitness... if only thin, "perfect" people were allowed in, they'd go out of business.

people like dani mathers are the cancer of the human race. she's not sorry for anything, only that she got caught and is now paying the price.

[Rock_Steakface]

Fat person in a gym trying to get in shape? Yes, let's all point and laugh at them for trying to take responsibility for their health. (That was sarcasm for those of you who can't tell.)

Oh, well. I'm glad this blew up in that bitch's face. Then again, given what she's 'famous' for (never heard of her before this fiasco), this is probably far from the first thing that has ever blown up in her face.

[Nice_Guy_Last]

AAAHHHH SHE A HOE!!!

[Spiorad_Aisce]

I just did a google - She has been fired from her radio job - I bet she is regretting it now - Of course on a wider scale it is all sorts of disgusting that a young woman thought that this was "Funny", that society has produced a generation with a few idiots who think this is "Funny" - I have no idea if Ms. Mathers parents are still around but I hope if they are, they take her aside and give her a good talking to.
I have no sympathy for her and one day someone was going to be hit hard for something like this, why put yourself in this position. One moment of stupidity and her lucrative career is in the toilet.

[myTake Owner]

It's pretty disgusting to me to hear some of the comments where individuals are more worried about Mather's life being ruined, than the victim, for one mistake. We are all fallible, we all do things we regret, and for the most part, we are lucky they don't hopefully do any damage, but some life choices do have real world consequences. When ones violates someone else and they get caught, this is a consequence which fortunately will be a warning to any other person out there who things posting to social media every little thing in life, is just so cool and fun and no one gets hurt or is bothered by it. There are some lines that never should be crossed, and I'm glad she's been fired and hopefully the police will file on her as well.

[KingRoach]

People are talking about the offender bc the victim is nameless. She is so indistinguishable in the pic that her own mother would have a hard time picking her out. Sure it was wrong but she is only a victim in her own world and anyone she decides to let into her world. The offender on the other hand is a public figure that we can all have the pleasure of judging and scoffing at. Schadenfreude google it.

[myTake Owner]

@KingRoach so what pray tell is the alternative. We just okay people snapping photos of YOU in the locker room changing, and hope that no one sees your face? That's ridiculous. We're calling attention to the picture taker because she has violated this woman's rights to privacy. Any one with common sense... yes, anyone with common sense, knows its never okay to snap a photo of someone in the nude without their permission let alone post it. And to be fair, I had no clue who the picture taker was before this story, so in terms of her "being so famous," that is neither here nor there.

[KingRoach]

I feel like you either didn't read my post or you didn't understand my post.

[KingRoach]

Ahh. I see the problem. There are 2 people out of the 20+ that are on the model's side and you decided to reply to a post of someone that is not on the model's side and voice your shock.

[BuchitaBuchys]

I don't understand why people go to the gym to shame others. This lady was not bothering anyone.
She was minding her business and Dani whatever the fuck her name is, is a piece of shit. She's not sorry she did it, she's sorry she got caught. Fuck her. And fuck people like her.

[dangerDoge]

Well, I mean, I thought every gym had a no-cellphone-in-locker-room policy. I assumed it was common sense. It's horrible to take a picture of them non-consented in the nude, and it makes sense why she was banned from LA fitness. Playboy firing her was more-so probably due to them not wanting to deal with the media backlash.

She wasn't the first, and she won't be the last to take pictures of people in locker rooms though. I've heard of some cases before of people secretely taking photos of others in locker rooms to sell to members of the opposite gender and such. Smh at some people.

Calling it the "worst thing to happen to women" is going perhaps a bit overboard (I mean, it's pretty friggin' bad but it's not like PURE EVIL lol)... But she should get punished for it regardless.

[Errhh]

Well, it was and is wrong to do what his chick did... Even if it was at a public place it's sad to be made fun of... However, I've been to the sauna rooms and it's sooo Effin disgusting when girls go naked in there... And usually it's the fattest ones.. And even more grossed out when they start massaging themselves so hard and fast that their sweat is just sprinkling everywhere.. I had to ask this lady to stop or sit farther away from the rest of the people. It's so gross!!! Plus who goes in there naked? All the germs and such,, is it even allowed? I don't think it is... Not entirely naked anyway,,,

👎👎

[Errhh]

Hmmm.. BUT gat does not look like a sauna that she is goin into... It looks like the showers... So in that case... It's even worse for this chick who posted the photo...

What people do for attention... Even when they already have it...,

[Relentless_Hippie]

I certainly don't think she's the worst thing to happen to women considering there are prostitutes, murderers, rapists, child molesters, kidnappers, child abusers and so much more that are women.

She is however a jerk and I do agree her apology certainly wasn't an apology at all. She only feels bad for herself because of her backlash but in all honesty the decisions by the gym and Playboy is to cover their own butts.

People can be cruel, and she had no rights whatsoever to send photos of someone's naked body, that's effed up! But is she the worst woman in the world? No.

[chc0009]

Mathers is not the worst thing, but is a complete imbecile. Apology, my ass, she's only sorry for herself, not that innocent woman, since she's infringing on one's privacy.

LA Fitness has every right to ban her for life and even Playboy did the right thing by terminating her. Fuck Mathers, not an ounce of sympathy for her, but that woman who she body shamed online gets it all.

[Blonde401]

She just showed what a vapid thoughtless person she is. She's a bully and she has no respect for a woman who is at the gym to better herself and her body, that woman should be applauded, not ridiculed by another women. Yes Mathers works in an industry that solely relies on what you look like but she needs to realise she's no better than anyone else, that is someone's mother or wife she took a photo of, she should be ashamed of herself.

[JuicyBrain]

"Is Dani Mathers The Worst Thing to Happen to Women?"

Huh... No. I think Sarah Palin must have been worse. But hey, that doesn't make anything that happened here any less terrible. She crossed the line and then some. It always makes me smile though when someone stupid ruin their owns lives by doing stupid shit like that. It's like watching a train wreck. It's Karma at work.

[ShyGuyLikesWomen]

Yes, Sarah Palin is a horrible whore.

[matchrestore]

I'm a nudist. I understand that not everyone has a "playboy" body or anything even close. That's not the point. Shaming someone who was comfortable enough to sauna and shower nude at the gym doesn't sit well with me. These are supposed to be safe

[RationalMale]

It's funny that people get so upset and outraged because she took a picture... which, it looks like is so blurry the woman could not be identified if lives depended on it.

Meanwhile, the media goes and hides or burries actual issues. But this is clickbait--some spoiled slutty white girl insulted a fattie. HEADLINES! THE VITAL ISSUES OF TODAY!

[FakeName123]

Not to mention that every publicity is good publicity and people are actually doing that attention whore a favour.

[723jpf]

She broke California law; it's a misdemeanor, but she should be fully prosecuted. Think about it - if a man had done this, he'd already be on the sex offender registry.

[sp33d]

Not about taking the picture. It's about principle: violation of policy and privacy.

[RationalMale]

@sp33d If violation of privacy was a crime most of the government would have been tossed in prison after snowmen blew the whistle

[RationalMale]

@sp33d *snowden dang autocorrect

[sp33d]

What on earth does E. Snowden have to do with this?

[Chris784]

Completely missing the point. Who cares if it's too blurry to see the woman's face. People that know her will easily recognize her.

[Chris784]

@FakeName123 dude this is in no way good publicity. She's lost her job and is now unhireable. She is now facing criminal charges and real jail time. If she was done a favor I am having trouble seeing it.

[Anonymous]

Everybody who's saying it's an over reaction and no big deal. I'd like to see how they feel if they were in a locker room minding their own business, then photographed naked and the pic sent to hundreds of people. I mean, most would feel shitty if their nudes that they took themselves with consent were then shared because of a breach of trust, having one you didn't even know about because somebody took a secret pic of you naked is a billion times worse.

[vishna]

She's a heartless bitch. What type of person would do that? In other pictures, you can see the woman's completely naked body. That's all over the internet now. That lady never asked for that. She deserves everything she's getting.

[reixun]

Sounds so harsh for snapchatting a person's nude pic. It's wrong and she's an asshole but getting fired, banned AND a police investigation? Sounds like too much. I'd go with the old fashioned way of doing things and let the victim decide her punishment.

[joseyyywhales]

No one has bothered to ask how the victim felt...

[reixun]

@joseyyywhales yeah, she might be a nudist or something.

[joseyyywhales]

lol could be. But even then, she could be like

"hey that's fucked up, but I forgive you. I was young and dumb once, I certainly wouldn't want to ruin your life."

[reixun]

@joseyyywhales Yeah, I want to hear what she thinks.

[joseyyywhales]

Just looked it up the media hasn't talked to the old lady.

I'm over it though. OP is an idiot

[AriadneSky]

I guess she feels crap about herself being a playboy-FORMER- so she's trying to feel better about her own humiliation at someone else expense. that kind of self soothing apart from despicable, is short lived. plus now she will have to answer for it.

#notworthit.

[AriadneSky]

she is not the worst thing to happen to women... she is a direct product of it.

#sexsim=dehumanization

[suseel_sushi]

When a man was body shamed last year no fuckin body cared except the feminists. Millions of them from around the world expressed their willingness to dance with him. Every one cares about the girls. Even the mennists who consider weak men as cows to feed their movement. But only the feminists really care about men.

[KingRoach]

You're talking about that one time a man was a victim to body shaming?

[bbch25]

God that was horrible, he looked so broken in the photo when he realised he was being laughed at. I would've partied with him. I was glad something came of that.

[Regulatus]

Over-reacting? The bitch committed a crime. In my state, photographing an undressed person in a gym locker room is a straight-up, prison time felony.
