Eva Marie Allegedly Denied Entry To Business Class Lounge Due To Her Outfit
Former WWE star Eva Marie has accused Qantas Airways for not allowing her to enter the business class lounge due to her attire.
Marie was trying to enter the Qantas Airways business lounge at Australia’s Melbourne Airport this past week and was allegedly denied entry because she was wearing active wear. Qantas’ official website prevents “Head-to-toe gym wear,” but Marie said on Twitter her problem is not necessarily with the dress code, but with the fact that her husband was also wearing active wear but had no problem getting, adding that she wanted standards to be “equitably enforced.”
In 2020 @qantas airlines Melbourne won’t allow a woman holding a business class ticket to enter their business class lounge in active wear. My business IS fitness and an active lifestyle. Qantas prefers their women in a dress. #genderdiscrimination #qantas pic.twitter.com/j7XbvKvBrY

Clarification: This is NOT a dresscode issue, I support a businesses right to enforce equitable dresscode standards. However, My husband was allowed in no problem wearing this. While I was kicked out wearing this. My issue is that standards should be equitably enforced @Qantas pic.twitter.com/HSbLVc4W62
