Body shaming is real.
So declares the women behind the Georgia-based lingerie company LiviRae, who were allegedly asked to remove photos of curvy and differently-abled models from their Kennesaw storefront.
LiviRae CEO Molly Hopkins told Today that the shops property manager told her the photos featured in the companys latest body-positive campaign, Real Bras, Real Women, Real Stories, were in poor taste.
