Ajay Rochester claims she was fat-shamed while shopping at Bras N Things after employee refused to assist her: ‘You need to do better’

Ajay Rochester has accused a Bras N Things employee of ‘fat-shaming’ her after she visited a store in Sydney on Thursday.

The Biggest Loser host, 55, explained in a TikTok video she went into the boutique to purchase bras but was disappointed when the woman refused to provide a fitting.

‘If you don’t want to sell bras than maybe just don’t open,’ she fumed.

‘I’ve specifically waited to come to Australia to go to Bras N Things because it’s one of my favourite shops and because I know they do fittings and have a good range.

‘I’ve lost a lot of weight recently and have waited till I come to Australia to get bras that fit me. I have money to spend.’

Ajay then claimed the employee told her they don’t have any sports bras and ‘many sizes’ before sending her to another department store.

‘I thought it was because they were closin, but its 20 mins later and they’re still very much open. I have the money to spend and she has spent me to David Jones,’ she continued.

‘Why are you open if you’re not selling bras or is it just a curvy girl thing? Or do you have fatphobic sales associates who do not want to do fittings?’

Ajay continued: ‘We feel bad enough about our bodies as it is without being body shamed or refused service. You need to do better.’

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Bras N Things for comment.

It comes after Ajay detailed her use of controversial ‘weight loss‘ drug Ozempic after struggling with her weight for several years.

Ozempic is a diabetes medication which is being sold privately for weight loss, and celebrities including Sharon Osbourne and Amy Schumer have admitted to using the drug.

Speaking with 7NEWS Spotlight in April, Ajay detailed her heartbreaking struggles with her weight as she claimed Ozempic has changed her life.

‘This drug has absolutely transformed my life. It’s not a trick. It’s not cheating. It’s medicine,’ she said.

‘Like, I was a prisoner in my body… Let the magic happen. I have a disease, like I didn’t want to die from obesity.’

She recalled facing immense pressure to look a certain way during her time hosting The Biggest Loser, which led to unhealthy eating habits.

‘The pressure was on to lose those extra kilos. When I was hosting Biggest Loser, the lightest I got was 70 kilos and I did not eat, did not eat,’ she explained.

‘I was an emaciated doll that was still apparently not thin enough.’

She heartbreakingly told how she has often been publicly humiliated over her weight and once had a milkshake thrown at her in the street.

‘I mean, people have thrown things at me in the street, like I had a milkshake thrown at me in Sydney one time, where these guys said, “yeah, you fat pig.” And threw a milkshake at me, driving past,’ she explained.
