New Jersey Night Club - "Get lost fatties"

Mason Dixon · 08-10-2008, 01:48 PM

FEMALE clubbers were refused entry into Havana nightclub on Saturday night for being too fat.

Police were called to calm the situation outside the Halkett Street club as bouncers and manager Martin Sayers allegedly told women to ‘go away and lose some weight’.

Over 20 women are expected to give statements to the police today and a Facebook page, labelled Havana Club Jersey Discrimination and using an image from US cartoon Family Guy, has already attracted over 100 supporters calling for Islanders to boycott the club.

Georgina Mason was one of the ladies refused entry. The 23-year-old, who works for Lloyds TSB, had been enjoying a night out with friends when it turned sour.

‘About five or six or us got to Havana at about 11.30 pm and the bouncers said we were not allowed in because we were too big. I told them not to be ridiculous and asked to speak to the manager,’ she said.

‘When the manager came out he would not look at me directly but said that they had received too many complaints about fat people and he told me: “Go and lose some weight before you can come in – fat people are bad for business.”

It is true they are bad for business, it is hard for the guys to get to their hot looking friends, also known as a cock block. Guys do not want to go to clubs if their is alot of cock blocking going on

yeah, but you don't need to be cruel...

Why don't they just open a fatties night club? They can rake in dough! Just think have their one club they have now then open another one for the big people.

Wow, girls...way to think that one through.

"They don't want us. I know, let's boycott the place!"

So, you don't show up, which is pretty much the way they wanted it.

Great plan.

Hayes · 08-10-2008, 04:03 PM

I think they are trying to get more than just them to boycott... You know, keep them from making money

I was thinking the same thing!

Just the same that Bikers would be bad for business in an upscale golf course/country club, fat people are bad for business in night clubs. Its just that simple.

Its not discrimination, its reality.

CJM · 08-10-2008, 05:32 PM

Its a private club,t hey can do whatever they want. Getting away with it is the trick.

I guess you haven't been to many clubs. Clubs make more money off the men than the women. The men buy the drinks. Ever hear of ladies night? Well they do not pay a cover charge and/or also ladies drink for free. Most women do not need alot of alcohol to get drunk or to get a buzz. The guys are the ones who pay the cover charges, consume the most alcohol and buy majority of the drinks. From the owners view it makes perfect sense.

Guys are going to go were the good looking women are and that is what this club is trying to do. Not saying fat people cannot be good looking. If some of you like your women big more power to ya, nothing wrong with that but most guys like their women average or skinny.

Oh and to answer your question Mr. Martinez, skinny women would most likely get their drinks for free but I highly doubt skinny guys would

You are very right Sir James

i think clubs are very stupid an try to stay away from them. As for my comment, it was a joke (yes a lame one). But thank you for the valuable insight. I was going to try to explain my comment, but in the end, it'll only be funny to me.

Why must people be nice when speaking the truth? Why not tell it like it is?

How do they determine when somebody is "fat"? I've seen people call Britney Spears fat when most women would kill to have her "fat" body.
