Clothing company Lane Bryant has released an ad campaign in support of their plus sized lingerie line with model Ashley Graham and other plus-sized models. The #ThisBody campaign is being met with resistance from several TV networks according to the company.
Allegedly, the commercial that the company wants to use has been rejected by ABC and NBC without any valid reason according to Lane Bryant.
In the commercial Ashley and the other models are posing in different poses wearing the lingerie. Ashley is also seen kickbocking while wearing Lane Bryant denim, and another model is seen breast feeding. Representatives for NBC said “As part of the normal advertising standards process, we reviewed a rough cut of the ad and asked for minor edits to comply with broadcast indecency guidelines. The ad was not rejected and we welcome the updated creative.”
Lane Bryant feels that the commercial has not been approved because of the size of the women, and not due to nudity.
