A vacation to Queensland, Australia is supposed to be a relaxing getaway, but for one woman, it turned into a nightmare. Naomi Tibbles, a 28-year-old OnlyFans model, was recently enjoying a “mental health day” with a hike on North Stradbroke Island when she stopped by a beachside hotel bar for a drink.
What happened next shocked Tibbles. According to her TikTok, which she filmed right after the confrontation, a security guard approached her after she had been sitting at the bar for 20 minutes and asked if she had clothes to “cover herself” because she was in a “family establishment.” The guard then told her the bar had a dress code that didn’t allow “thongs” or flip-flops as appropriate footwear.
Tibbles, who was wearing a bikini top, crocheted pants and a cowboy hat, pointed out that she was already fully strapped into her sandals. She also pointed out that she was sitting in the bar, where no children were allowed. Despite her reasonable points, the guard still asked her to “cover up” and refused to serve her.
Tibbles’s story has gone viral on TikTok, sparking outrage from viewers who are appalled by the hotel’s actions. Many commented that Tibbles was wrongly targeted for her attire and that it was inappropriate to ask her to leave a bar that was the same distance from the beach as she was.
This incident highlights the sexism and double standards that women face when it comes to dress codes. While it may be acceptable for men to wear swimwear to a bar, many establishments view women’s attire differently. This is an issue that women should not be forced to deal with while they are on vacation, and it is important that establishments be held accountable for their discrimination.
Unfortunately, incidents like this are all too common. From amusement parks to school dress codes, women are often subjected to dress codes that restrict their clothing choices. It is vital that incidents like this are brought to light and that establishments are held responsible for their discriminatory practices.
No one should be shamed for their clothing choices, no matter where they are. Women should be able to dress comfortably and without judgement, and establishments that do not adhere to this standard should be held accountable.
