Model retouched to look emaciated: I was fired for being too fat
It seems size 4 is the new fat.
Fashion model Filippa Hamilton tells the New York Daily News she was canned because she is too fat.
“They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore,” Hamilton said.
The interview with the newspaper comes a week after Ralph Lauren was forced to apologize for retouching an ad featuring the slender Hamilton.
The ad makes her look deadly skinny.

Hamilton, a Ralph Lauren model since 2002, is a fatty indeed … in bizarro world.
The alleged lardo is all of 120 pounds and 5 feet 10 inches.
Me thinks she could stand to eat a Whopper or three.
In a statement to the New York Daily News, Polo Ralph Lauren called Filippa a “beautiful and healthy” woman.
The relationship ended “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.”
In other words, they fired her because they thought she was fat.
