Update, September 6, 2016: According to TMZ, Dani Mathers' body shaming victim has come forward to the police. TMZ's sources say the LA Fitness goer, who is in her seventies, wants the Playboy Playmate to face charges for dissemination of private images, which entails a maximum punishment of six months in jail.

Mathers' attorney Tom Mesereau, best known for defending Michael Jackson in his 2005 molestation case, responded to the unconfirmed rumors, telling NY Daily News that he hoped "the rumor is not correct." He added, "Dani Mathers never tried to hurt anyone at any time, and certainly never tried to break any law." Regardless of her supposed intentions, TMZ's sources say the Los Angeles City Attorney is reviewing Mathers' case and "will make a decision soon."

Update, July 15, 2016: As of Friday, Dani Mathers has been suspended indefinitely from Heidi and Frank, the radio show she has regularly appeared on for several years. On top of being fired, the gym in which the incident took place, LA Fitness, has banned Mathers for life. An LA Fitness spokesperson told TMZ that Mathers "is not permitted back at any club, ever" due to her violation of the club's privacy policy. The spokesperson also stated that the incident has been reported to the police.

Original, July 14, 2016: For some people, the gym is a frightening place. Not only can the equipment be intimidating, but the gym-goers themselves can make you feel insecure or uncomfortable — are they judging you? Making fun of you? Worse, are they taking photos of you so other people can make fun of you? Unfortunately, that last hypothetical became the reality for one woman when model Dani Mathers snuck a photo of her to post online. But that's not the worst part: She took the pic while the woman was changing in the locker room. Yes, really.

Mathers, a 29-year-old model from Los Angeles who was crowned Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 2015, was sitting in the sauna when she decided to snap some pictures of the naked woman changing in the locker room and post them to Snapchat. Here are screenshots (the woman has been concealed for her privacy):

The caption makes it even worse: "If I can't unsee this then you can't either." Message being that if you don't fit into Mathers' ideal of beauty, your body is disgusting and shouldn't be seen by people. And not only did Mathers insult the woman's body for no apparent reason other than because she thought it was funny, she also violated her privacy. The woman has a reasonable expectation of privacy within a locker room setting.

The response was swift, with people on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook quickly rushing to condemn Mathers' choice to post the photos.

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

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

In a brief series of videos posted to her Snapchat, Mathers had this to say regarding the response to her reprehensible behavior:

"I just wanted to acknowledge a photo that I accidentally posted on Snapchat earlier today and let you guys know that that was absolutely wrong, and not what I meant to do. I have chosen to do what I do for a living because I love the female body and I know that body shaming is wrong and that's not what I'm about, that's not the type of person that I am. That photo was taken to be a personal conversation with a girlfriend, and because I am new to Snapchat, I didn't realize that I had posted it and that was a huge mistake."

This apology not only lacks remote understanding of what was wrong here, but also leaves me with more questions than I started with. So, she knows body shaming is wrong, but was going to do it anyway — just privately? She loves the female body, just not the ones that don't look like her own? She's body shaming someone, yet that person is literally at the gym. And which was the huge mistake, posting it for everyone to see or taking the photo in the first place? Oh, so she's just upset she got caught and called out. Cool. This is literally many folks' worst fear about walking into a gym.

By the way, she posted two photos to her Snapchat story, which is a feed that allows people who follow you to see the photos you post publicly. If you have a rudimentary understanding of how Snapchat works, it's extremely easy to distinguish between sending not one, but two photos to your Snapchat story rather than directly to another user. This writer finds it highly doubtful that this was an accident; rather, this seems like a case of "whoops, I didn't realize people would be offended."

All negativity aside, I hope this woman doesn't stop going to the gym simply because Dani Mathers decided to be a bully that day — but more than anything, that she has no idea this was ever posted in the first place.
