Jessica Freitas shared that she was approached by a gym employee just a few minutes into her usual workout session.
The 33-year-old explained that the employee labeled her attire as ’embarrassing’ and added that she was not given an opportunity to explain herself or discuss the situation.
“It’s like they were waiting for me to do something that goes against the rules,” the Brazilian influencer noted.
She described her outfit as tight pink shorts and a black sports top, emphasizing that she was not filming or recording anything in the gym located in her hometown of São Paulo.
“I only went to train as I feel most comfortable.”
“There were other girls there training in shorts and bra tops like me and they weren’t told to leave.”
This kind of behavior made Jessica feel ‘watched and under pressure’ as she tried to complete her usual workout routine.
She even described the employees as ‘people from the last century’ and ‘malicious, false moralists’.
“It’s not like I was looking to show off or provoke anyone.”
Amid the ongoing situation, Jessica shared a bold post on Instagram where she confidently displayed her figure in the ‘controversial’ outfit, adding a message to go with it.
Since that post, things have taken a more positive turn, as Jessica mentioned receiving a call from the gym on October 28.
It seems that the issue has been resolved, with both sides coming to an ‘amicable agreement’.
Jessica said she would be ‘happy to return’ to the gym in the future.
