Dani Mathers is a 29-year-old Playboy model and 2015 “Playmate Of The Year” who angered fans by posting the above photo on Snapchat of a woman who appears to have just come out of the shower at her gym, LA Fitness in Universal City, and captioned it “If I can’t unsee this, then you can’t either.” I know, the nerve of this woman, for not having a model’s figure and using what she assumed to be the private facilities of her gym! How is she even allowed to walk around with normal people and not sent to some kind of camp for those with slight physical imperfections?

Mathers — who has 553,00 followers on Instagram, more than one million on Facebook, and 75,000 on Twitter — quickly deleted the image, which she claimed in a follow-up Snapchat had been “part of a personal conversation with a girlfriend” and accidentally uploaded. Likewise, she issued a lengthy apology on Twitter for her insensitive actions.

I want to acknowledge my post from snapchat earlier. There is no excuse…I understand fully the magnitude of this post and that I have hurt — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

A lot of people, women. Body shaming is not okay, and is nothing to joke about… This was meant to be a part of a private conversation that — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Never should have happened. There are no words to describe how deeply sorry I am for hurting and offending you all. Women make my world go — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Around, I respect women, I surround myself with women and I completely understand the magnitude of this post. Please please please know — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Is beautiful in their own way… That's what makes us all so special… I can't undo this mistake, but I ask your forgiveness. — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

This mistake has truly made me realize that something that can seem silly in a private conversation isn't unnecessary. All I've done here is — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Spread negativity and hate when that isn't who I am. I chose to model because I appreciate women and their bodies, so me of all people, — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Should never make light of another woman's naked body. — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

I'm sorry for what I did… I need to take some time to myself now to reflect on why I did this horrible thing. Goodnight. — Dani Mathers (@DaniMathers) July 14, 2016

Unfortunately for her, the damage had already been done. Dozens, perhaps even hundreds, took to Twitter to call Mathers out for her body shaming and bullying.

@DaniMathers Shame on you. Now we know who you really are. Can't unsee that either. — Greg Mann (@gmann72) July 14, 2016

@DaniMathers posting a naked picture without a persons permission is shocking, even if it was intended for a friend the nastiness was there — Cherry Head (@LauraCherry87) July 14, 2016

@DaniMathers I hope you get charged & sued. All the makeup & plastic surgery in the world won't hide your ugliness. Wish I could unsee you. — Mack (@Kcam0011) July 14, 2016

@DaniMathers Vile. You're a bully and an apology won't ever change that. Do you have any idea of the damage nastiness like this causes? — Claire (@StoriesCemetery) July 14, 2016

@KerrierKernow @DaniMathers I find it soul crushing. That poor women. How dare this happen to her? How dare she be humiliated. CRUSHING. — Boombands (@boombands) July 14, 2016

@DaniMathers I hope you get charged & sued. All the makeup & plastic surgery in the world won't hide your ugliness. Wish I could unsee you. — Mack (@Kcam0011) July 14, 2016

@DaniMathers babe u know what they say 'beauty comes from within' sorry but yours is obvs on outside only…… #girlpower — Lugsy (@lolasnu) July 14, 2016

I haven't tweeted in over a year probably. But @danimathers made me SO disturbed to the core, I had to say something. Should be prosecuted. — Julie Fitzgerald (@Julie4417) July 14, 2016

I guess we can chalk this up up a “teachable” moment. It’s safe to say Mathers has definitely learned something about body shaming in all of this.

Update: Mathers may now be facing legal action as well as other repercussions over the nude photo incident.
