You may recall the tempest in a teacup that erupted over a Doctor John’s Lingerie & Novelty Boutique billboard that appeared in Ogden Utah a while back. It seems the board offended many. So much so that the model on the billboard, Tabitha Contreras, 31-year-old mother of four and her children started feeling the pain.
A model since she was a teen, Contreras told Salt Lake City ABC 4, “I was an outcast, I wasn’t welcome and everyone let me know I wasn’t welcome. I felt bad that I offended people because I didn’t think there was that much skin showing. My first wake up call was, I had my 13-year-old daughter come home and say people at school are saying, ‘you’re a porn star,’ and so of course I was like, ‘oh my gosh, what am I doing?'”
The board was taken down a few weeks ago but the pain Contreras feels still lingers.
You can argue this one both ways. Objectifying women to sell stuff, perhaps bad. Women just trying to make a living, not so bad. Watch the video. What are your thoughts?
