Recently a TikTok influencer bashed a Paris restaurant owner for not letting her enter the eatery because of her revealing dress.
Polska Babinks has more than 708K followers on her TikTok account and is quite famous for posting videos wearing low-cut dresses.
In a now-viral video clip that she posted on her TikTok on October 31, people could see Polska arguing with the restaurant owner.
According to Daily Mail, when the influencer and her female friend were denied entry into the restaurant, she started having a heated exchange with the owner. She even tried to explain to the other customers that she was being mistreated.
However, the onlookers and other people at the spot sided with the owner and said the influencer was wrong.
Babinks was seen wearing an all-pink outfit – a low-cut crop top with a mini-skirt and her friend was wearing a skin-tight black shirt and pants.
In the video clip that gained more than 4 million views on the video-sharing platform, Babinks wrote,
“A neckline = No restaurants.”
“My friend Tootatis and I were prevented from entering this restaurant because of our cleavage,” she wrote on her video.
After the restaurant owner turned the two inappropriately dressed ladies away, they came back to record his reaction.
“As the clip began to circulate, a debate began among commentators in France about how women dress – with many people saying they sided with the restaurant owner,” Daily Mail reported.
“TV host Benjamin Castaldi, columnist Danielle Moreau, and producer Guillaume Genton all said they sympathized with the restaurant owner, stating that he had every right to refuse entry.”
“Where’s the scandal? He doesn’t want bare b**bs in his restaurant,” wrote Castaldi.
“This is not a feminist struggle! Very few women see themselves in you,” added Danielle.
Meanwhile, Guillaume said he never saw a person as stupid as the TikToker and her friend.
After watching the video footage, most of her followers also favored the restaurant owner and said Babinks needed to follow the dress protocol of the place.
“For me, it makes sense. You need a minimum of respect for the people and the restaurant,” one follower wrote.
“The fact that this restaurant went from 3 stars to 4.5 on Google is thanks to you,” said another.
“Well it’s like walking into stores in a swimsuit in the summer, it’s forbidden. Correct outfit required. Girl, go to macdo (McDonald’s), their ethics is come as you are,” a third person commented.
“Any restaurateur has the right to say or not whether the customer’s dress is correct or not and is entitled to refuse entry,” another penned.
“You cannot blame him for his action, girl you need to dress according to the place you’re hanging out at, and restaurants serve families too. So, yeah he did the right thing,” someone said.
