Woman escorted from water park because her bikini was too small

Park workers say the bottoms showed too much

Madelyn Sheaffer had just lost more than 100 pounds and was proud to wear a bikini to a water park with her family and friends.

That day turned into an embarrassment when two young girls told her the bathing suit she was wearing wasn’t covering enough.

She asked to talk to a manager who told her to either cover up or leave. Sheaffer told 41 Action News “I felt like it was both age and body discrimination and I felt like I could look around me and I could see a handful of other girls half my age, wearing the same size swimming suit and not being singled out and told to put on clothes or leave.”

Sheaffer told the manager she wanted to talk to police to file a complaint but that backfired.

When cops arrived, they escorted Sheaffer from the park. Madelyn claims the officers were on her side but told her they “had to do their job.”

Workers at the water park haven’t commented as of yet. What do you think? Please vote on our poll and leave your thoughts in our comments section below before you leave.

She probably has some hefty stretch marks and it freaked out those young girls.

self to a glass of champagne. The bottle is in the icebox.

Again, Nick, there’s ZERO new under the (summer) sun ...

She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was as nervous as she could be
She was afraid to come out of the locker
She was afraid that somebody would see
One, two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the locker she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more

She was afraid to come out in the open
And so a blanket around she wore
She was afraid to come out in the open
And so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two, three, four, stick around we’ll tell you more

Now she is afraid to come out of the water
And I wonder what she’s gonna do
Now she is afraid to come out of the water
And the poor little girl’s turning blue
Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore

It was an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy, bitsy, teentie, weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini
So in the water she wanted to stay
(From the locker to the blanket)
(From the blanket to the shore)
(From the shore to the water)
Yes, there isn’t any more

Probably guilty - further investigation back at my trailer may overturn that decision!

Woman escorted from water park because her bikini was too small

This was a tricky job, a job that could be handled by only one company: the Lazamataz 24/7 Escort Service for Women with Small Bikinis. Their motto: "No Bikini Too Small!"
