Una modelo holandesa gan\u00f3 un juicio contra dos agencias que dejaron de contratarla por considerar que su cadera, de 94 cent\u00edmetros, era demasiado ancha, seg\u00fan indic\u00f3 hoy la televisi\u00f3n p\u00fablica neerlandesa NOS. El caso hab\u00eda causado un gran indignaci\u00f3n ya que la modelo no era en absoluto gorda.<\/p>\n
La modelo Ananda Marchildon, de 25 a\u00f1os, gan\u00f3 en 2008 un premio de 75 mil euros en un concurso en el que obtuvo el t\u00edtulo de modelo revelaci\u00f3n en ese a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, tras haberle pagado 10 mil euros, las agencias cancelaron los contratos con los que ten\u00eda que completar el pago del total del premio y el motivo fue que su cadera se hab\u00eda ensanchado hasta 94 cent\u00edmetros, mientras que se le exig\u00eda no sobrepasar los 90.<\/p>\n
Los jueces han dado la raz\u00f3n a la modelo entre otras cosas porque cuando gan\u00f3 el premio su cadera era ya de 92 cent\u00edmetros, y las agencias no pusieron reparos en ese momento. La sentencia exige a las agencias que remuneren el resto de lo acordado a la modelo.<\/p>\n

\nAnanda Marchildon, \u2018Too Fat\u2019 Model, Wins Lawsuit
\nIn an unprecedented court case, the Dutch fashion model Ananda Marchildon, 25, went up against Elite, the most powerful agency in the business, and came out victorious. Marchildon had been promised \u20ac75,000 (about $100,000) when she won the Holland\u2019s Next Top Model television competition in 2008. But Elite subsequently dismissed her, saying her hips were too big by two centimeters (3\/4 of an inch). The court in the Netherlands ruled today that Elite would have to pay her the remaining \u20ac65,000.<\/p>\n
Marchildon has been earning her living as a cabinetmaker since her modeling career was put on hold. \u201cI was at work when I got the call from my lawyer who told me, \u2018You got it!\u2019 I just went: \u2018Yeah!\u2019\u201d Then, said Marchildon, she cried. \u201cOh, I am so relieved,\u201d Marchildon told The Daily Beast. \u201cAfter almost two years of struggling I was finally proven right. A huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the main points of contention in the case was Elite\u2019s claim not to have taken over Modelmasters the Agency (MTA), which made its promise to Marchildon in the first place. Even though MTA in effect ceased to exist and Elite picked up its models, Elite said it was not responsible to fulfill MTA\u2019s obligations. The judge disagreed, ruling that \u201cMarchildon could in good faith count on the fact that the contract between Marchildon and MTA was valid for Elite as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Elite sent Marchildon packing, it claimed that her hips, measuring 92 centimeters (36\u00bc inches) were just too broad for her to get work. Marchildon starved herself and exercised relentlessly to try to lose the required two centimeters, but to no avail. A spokesman from Elite Models allegedly said that because of her \u201cfat ass,\u201d she was unfit for modeling.<\/p>\n
The Amsterdam court ruled that when the contract was signed Marchildon had a hip size of 92 cm, and \u201ctherefore Elite could not demand Marchildon reach a hip size of 90 cm.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
