A stunning Turkish bodybuilder and fitness model living in the US has been stopped from boarding a plane in Texas because airport authorities found her fashion style too offensive.
Stunning influencer Deniz Saypinar, 26, who moved to the US to avoid the conservative surroundings in her homeland, claimed she was banned from boarding her flight to Miami because the authorities found her outfit inappropriate.
Saypinar is a famous fitness model, entrepreneur and social media personality who was the first woman in Turkey to ever receive an IFBB (International Federation of BodyBuilders) status.
Deniz had recently moved to the city of Los Angeles in the US state of California to advance her bodybuilder career and “experience freedom”.
However, the stunning 26-year-old bodybuilder got stuck at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in the US state of Texas after American Airlines flight attendants found her fashion sense unfitting.
Outraged Deniz shared her experience with her one million Instagram followers and said: “You will never believe what happened to me at Texas Airport.”
The gorgeous fitness model explained how she was told she is “naked” and her style ‘disturbed other families’ at the airport.
Deniz tried to defend herself by telling her followers: “I am not naked.”
She later shared an Instagram post explaining her side and tagged American Airlines on 8th July.
The woman wrote: “I am an athlete, and now I have to wait here until the morning.
“I like to wear feminine clothes that reveal my femininity, but I never dress in a way that will offend anyone. I’m mature and civilised enough to know what I can and cannot wear.”
Deniz added: “I don’t deserve to be treated like the worst person in the world for wearing denim shorts. What separates us from animals if humans can’t control even their most primitive impulses.”
To prove her case, Deniz also showed her fans the ‘saucy’ outfit which included a brown top, denim shorts and trainers, as well as a white blouse tied around her waist.
A follower supported her and commented: “It is 2021, and there is still a dress code you have to follow to board a plane, of course, only if you are a woman. This is ridiculous.”
Another netizen added: “Teach society to respect women, rather than telling women what to wear or what to do.”
Deniz Saypinar, who has been working as a personal trainer for seven years, was the first non-US citizen to win the US National Bikini Fitness Competition in 2021.
