Until this week, Sherene Zarrabi enjoyed working at Dainty Hooligan, a clothing store in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The 21-year-old Oklahoma State University student had even modeled some clothing for the store's Instagram account.
But now, Zarrabi is speaking out against her former employer after receiving an email that deemed her not "model material," and requested the store take down the photos of Zarrabi.
Zarrabi shared the email, which was sent from Dainty Hooligan's owner, Jessica Issler, to Zarrabi's manager on Facebook on February 1. It has already been shared by more than 2,000 people. We first saw it on Cosmopolitan.
Take a look.
Meanwhile, Issler, says that 50 pictures were deleted from her store's Instagram account and only a few were of Zarrabi.
“I am accountable for the email that was sent,” Issler told the Oklahoma State student newspaper. “I never meant to be mean or attacking, but I’m not apologizing for the unsaid fashion rule.”
We reached out to Zarrabi and Dainty Hooligan and will update this post if we hear back.
For now, here's the latest from Dainty Hooligan's Instagram, featuring a model who apparently meets Issler's standards for "really good representation."
