Mother Told To Cover Up At Disneyland For Showing Too Much Cleavage (Photos)

A San Diego, California, mom was outraged after she said a family trip to Disneyland in Anaheim was ruined when an employee told her she was exposing too much cleavage. 

Melissa Behnken claimed that a park employee approached her and asked her to cover up because her choice of clothing showed too much of her chest. 

“This gentleman out of nowhere comes up to me and just says, ‘You need to pull your top up,'” Behnken said. “I was looking at him like, ‘Excuse me? Are you serious?'”

“This is a family park. You are showing too much,” the employee allegedly responded. 

“I guess women with large chests are expected to wear turtlenecks their whole lives,” Behnken told 10News, Daily Mail reported. 

Behnken said her husband had just returned home from deployment and they were excited to take their three children to the resort for their first family vacation. The family trip was ultimately ruined, the mother said. 

Behnken later filed a formal complaint with the park and the Disney corporation. In the week that followed the incident, Disney reached out to offer an apology on behalf of the employee, OC Weekly reported. 

Behnken said she hoped the company would take the apology a step further.

“Maybe they need to do more exclusive training on what is OK to say to people that come there,” she suggested. 

Disneyland reportedly has a policy deeming clothing that “exposes excessive portions of the skin” as inappropriate for the family-friendly park, though Behnken’s apparel barely showed any cleavage at all — as evident in the family’s pictures from their trip taken prior to the incident.
