Do Network TV hate curvy women with big boobs? Well, thats what plus sized clothing store Lane Bryant is accusing Fox and ABC of when they banned their new lingerie commercial starring a curvy and busty woman in her bras and panties.
Lane Bryant claims that ABC “restricted our airtime” by denying it a slot during “Dancing with the Stars” while Fox “demanded excessive re-edits before relenting to air it, but only after we threatened to pull the ad buy.”
ABC has responded to the accusation with a statement saying they did not treat Lane Bryant any differently than other advertisers.
Lane Bryant says that the only difference from their commercial and commercials by Victoria’s Secret is the size of the models.
So, what do you think? Are network TV afraid of curvy women with big boobs and cleavage? I remember hearing some rumors a while back that ABC wanted Sofia Vergara to get a boob reduction for her role on Modern Family so I think there might be something to it. Check out the commercial below and tell me what you think!
LOL, this is actually tamer than a lot of Victoria’s Secret commercials. I would be pissed off if I was with the Lane Bryant people too.
The girl is hot and curvy. It’s shame for ABC to ask a breast reduction to Sofia Vergara. Please, Sofia, resist!!!
Who is the busty babe in the video anyhow?
That is way tamer than most Victoria Secret commercials. The networks are crazy!!
Lane Bryant ftw! Love chubby womens.
theyre still living in the 90’s but with women like Christina Hendricks around, the tides will soon change, as Megan Fox has already learned.
My wife used to manage a Lane Bryant and I flipped through those catalogs all the time!
By the way the model is Ashley Graham.

And what about that commercial compared to say Paris Hilton’s Hardees/Carls Jr. car wash ad?
Give me a fucking break. This is the strangest discrimination I have ever seen.
Do a search for “Jennifer Love Hewitt banned commercial”. Another instance of something removed from TV because the actress was too curvy–ahem, stunning.
That i so stupid. the victorias Secret commercials are way worse. If they are afraid of what a real women looks like id hate to think of what they would do if some of my friends were in that commercial haha
Thanks for taking up the cause BB
tv needs more tits
God said let there be curves, then there were curves, and they were good.
i dont see whats wrong with that commecrial…… big women need love too…..
Wow…she is hot. Curvy is hotter than victoria secret bony anytime. props to lane bryant for a awesome commercial.
Russ- LOL
I’m sure that this is all a lie anyway- Lane Bryant probably made up the whole thing to get people to watch the commercial- just like GoDaddy.com
But I was glad to watch it- hottie!
shit, if more commercials were more like that I wouldn’t skip over them with my TIVO.
I agree with Lane Bryant. As many have said already, the Victoria’s Secret commercials are VERY racy and scream sex.
It’s ridiculous…..the fashion world is run by a bunch of women who:
a.) have no body/looks whatsoever and critcize the way women we find attractive dress, then decide what people should wear.
b.) are actually men. Gay men. They prefer the pre-pubescent boy look….no curves and visible back bones and ribs are preferred.
My woman is a D cup and has an incredible ass and has a small waist. The funny part? She is classified as a “plus” sized model.
No market in letting women be who they are. Big bucks to be made in trying to get them all to aspire(and consume like goats in that aspiration) to one standard.
