Lane Bryant is a retail store that caters to plus size woman (sizes 14-28). In 2010, Lane Bryant aired a commercial on Fox Network and CBS Network. Both networks censored the ad and refused to show it because it was too revealing.
The commercial features plus size model Ashley Graham. Lane Bryant accused the networks of bias and discrimination toward plus size woman. This was mainly because of the networks history of airing Victoria's Secret commercials continuously without complaint. Victoria's Secret commercials are just as revealing and risque as Lane Bryant commercials. The networks only had an issue with sexy when a plus size woman was featured.
