I was fat-shamed by two grown men in Asda’s undie aisle – they taunted my ‘rolls of fat’ & left me crying in the car
A WOMAN was left sobbing in her car after she was allegedly fat-shamed by grown men in Asda.
Cat said she was in the underwear aisle at the supermarket, thinking about what to get herself for dinner.
She was then apparently approached by two men, who asked her for her number.
When she said no, she claims they “proceeded to, in multiple different ways, call me fat”.
“I went to security, security found them,” Cat continued in a video on her TikTok page.
“And they went, ‘Oh no, they’re just accusing us of her lifting up her fat rolls and shoving things inside them’.
“They continued to call me fat and then some of their mates joined in.
“These are grown men by the way.
“And I feel absolutely humiliated.”
Cat added that it hit her even more because she’s putting in so much work to change her life, lose weight and reduce the damage that being on steroids for her chronic illness has done to her body.
Things got even worse when she returned to her car and burst into tears.
“They walked past my car pointing and laughing at me,” she alleged, struggling to hold back her tears.
“I feel humiliated – I don’t think there’s any other word for it.
“In today’s society we should know that words cause harm. Words hurt. And saying things like that to somebody causes damage.
“I don’t want to step foot in Asda again, I don’t want to live in my town anymore because I know that it’s a community, a specific community that has done it, and they will talk about it and it gets around.
“But I’m going to look after myself – I’m going to do things that are good for me, have a bath and prove them wrong.
“Because I can change my size – they can’t change their ugly attitudes.”
Cat added in the caption for her video: “Honestly, I’m mortified @Asda.
“Your security tried, but it was too late and he was outnumbered.”
And people were quick to offer Cat their support in the comments section.
“I work in Asda,” one wrote.
“I’m so sorry this happened to you, if it was my store I and my colleagues would have had your back 100%!
“This was unacceptable and absolutely appalling – my heart goes to you huni.
“Please don’t let these idiots affect you – you are a better person than they will ever be.”
“Those weren’t grown men, little boys in their grown up costumes,” another added.
“Stick at it sweetie, and I am sorry for their cruelty. It will haunt them in the end.”
“So sorry this happened to you,” someone else wrote.
“Easier said than done but try to ignore them, they will think of this in years to come and feel mortified and ashamed.”
Asda has been contacted for comment.
