A plus-size model says a Miami hotspot tried to ban larger women from partying — telling her no “fatties” were allowed inside.
Naomie Chaput, who is also known as Nao, took to social media about the humiliating incident Thursday night involving the South Beach’s Story Nightclub.
Chaput said she was headed to meet a promoter at the nightspot, where the rapper Future was set to perform.

“She was on her way there and they were in contact with the promoter who had arranged for them to go to the club,” her publicist, Daniel Bouabdo, told BuzzFeed. He claimed promoter told his client, “Don’t even bother coming. Future asked for no fatties.”
Chaput was quick to take to Instagram to rail against the club’s discrimination using the hashtag #everyBodyclubs.

Why is he allowed to put those rules in place? The discrimination is insane to me.”
For his part, Future denied on Twitter he instructed the club to discriminate against plus-size women.
“STOP CAPPIN ON MY NAME.. I love all women,” the artist tweeted.
