In a shocking incident earlier this year, former Playboy model Dani Mathers faced widespread condemnation for body-shaming a woman at the gym. The controversy erupted when Mathers took a photo of the woman without her consent and shared it on Snapchat with the caption, “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.” While the image was cropped for our purposes, the original post displayed the woman’s body in full view.
We’ve recently learned that the woman Mathers targeted is actually in her seventies. Although it’s appalling no matter the age of the victim, the fact that she’s a septuagenarian amplifies the insensitivity of Mathers’ actions to almost villainous proportions. Who in their right mind would body-shame an elderly woman?
According to reports from People Magazine, the victim has now come forward and is cooperating with the Los Angeles Police Department. Mathers’ lawyer, Tom Mesereau, expressed hope that the rumors were false, stating, “Dani Mathers never tried to hurt anyone at any time and certainly never tried to break any law.” Following the backlash, LA Fitness canceled Mathers’ membership and filed a complaint with the authorities. She was also let go from her radio job amid the uproar, and while she has issued apologies, they hardly mitigate the gravity of her actions.
It’s important to remember that youth and beauty should not be seen as achievements. Spending countless hours at the gym and maintaining a physique that aligns with societal standards does not make anyone superior. Time is relentless, and karma often finds a way to catch up with us.
As per TMZ, the victim is working with law enforcement, and the recommended charge against Mathers is “Dissemination of Private Images,” a misdemeanor that could lead to six months in jail.

In summary, the body-shaming incident involving Dani Mathers highlights a troubling trend of insensitivity toward others, especially vulnerable individuals. The victim, now in her 70s, has come forward and is pursuing legal action, while Mathers faces significant consequences for her actions.
