Dani Mathers: Facing Charges For Body-Shaming Gym Pic?

Back in July, former Playmate of the Year Dani Mathers thought it would be funny to take a Snapchat of a naked woman at her LA Fitness gym, and share it.



The caption, which read “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either,” shamed the fellow gym patron and set off a firestorm that saw Mathers not only banned fromall LA Fitness locations, but fired from her gig on KLOS’s Heidi & Frank morning show.


“Her behavior is appalling and puts every member at risk of losing their privacy,” LA Fitness EVP of operations Jill Greuling told the Los Angeles Times.


“Our written rules are very clear: Cellphone usage and photography are prohibited in the locker rooms.”


Now, TMZ has learned that the LAPD has located the victim in the photo – described as a woman in her 70’s – who is ready to testify against Mathers.


The charge, if issued, is Dissemination of Private Images, which is reportedly a misdemeanor which could carry a 6-month jail sentence.


LAPD officers want to make an example of Mathers, whom they believe tried to shame someone who was trying to better herself.


As for Mathers, who was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 2015, she herself issued an apology on Snapchat soon after the incident.



“I just want to acknowledge a photo that I accidentally posted. It was absolutely wrong and not what I meant to do,” the 29-year-old said in the video.


“I chose to do what I do for a living because I love the female body and I know body shaming is wrong, that’s not what I’m about and this is not the type of person I am.


“The photo was taken as part of a personal conversation with a girlfriend and because I am new to Snapchat I didn’t realize I had posted it, and that was a huge mistake.



“I know I have upset a lot of people out there but please believe me this is not the type of person that I am.


“I have never done this before and I will never do this again, you have my word.”


Users on social media didn’t believe Mathers apology, accusing her of only being sorry because she got caught.


“I’m sorry for what I did,” she wrote on Twitter.  “I need to take some time to myself now to reflect on why I did this horrible thing. Goodnight.”


Kelly Clarkson Looks Back on American Idol: It Was Amazing!

Kelly Clarkson has had a wonderful career that has spanned over fourteen years. 


Clarkson won the first season of American Idol back in 2002. It’s crazy to think that she’s still as relevant as today as she was back then. 


Her career has continued to flourish, but Idol did not. 



The singing competition finally concluded earlier this year after 15 seasons.


That’s a great run for any series. 


You’d think singing competitions would be a bit long in the tooth by now, but NBC continues to find success with two cycles of The Voice every year. 


Granted, there always seems to be some sort of rift with the judges on the show, but it drums up good ratings. 


Clarkson has enjoyed a lot of success throughout her career. She’s the first artist from the show to achieve 100 Billboard number 1 hit singles. 


Yes, that means the star has topped the chart at least 100 times. 



That’s not an easy task for anyone, so she deserves a lot of recognition for that. 


That said, Kelly is not about to forget where she came from. She knows American Idol gave her the career she has today. 


Joining singing competitions was the best way to get noticed in 2002. There was no Youtube for artists to go viral back in those days. 


Kelly took to Twitter to express her gratitude to the once hot Fox series. 



“14 yrs ago 2day @AmericanIdol opened a door w/such amazing opportunities & experiences 4 me!” the 34-year-old singer wrote on Twitter on Sunday, September 4.


“I am 4ever grateful & blessed! #heresto14more.”


There’s every reason to believe that Clarkson will still be topping the charts in fourteen years.


She really does have staying power and it’s not often an artist can continue to top the charts after all this time. 


Kelly recently signed a major record deal with Atlantic Records, so at least we know she’ll continue to release great music. 



She also welcomed a son in April of this year, but she will be back with new music very soon. 


It just goes to show that even though the final few seasons of American Idol were terrible, the show still served a huge purpose. 



It gave the likes of Kelly Clarkson a start in an industry that’s very difficult to become a star in. 


Clarkson even appeared on the final season of the Fox hit, but apparently Carrie Underwood was not impressed


Underwood was given a smaller segment than Clarkson. 



This peeved Underwood because she knows she is the bigger money maker of the two. 


What do you think of all of this?
