I swear, people today are waaaaay too lawsuit-happy.
According to that sourcelink, the woman in the video below is suing LA Fitness because she claims that not one, but TWO DIFFERENT personal trainers at the gym made sexually suggestive comments to her, made her do exercises that were sexually suggestive, and she has now been emotionally scarred and is unable to bring herself to join another gym basically ever again. What with the emotional scarring and whatnot. BEHOLD:
Now – the fact that LA Fitness tried to "settle" with this chick for $400 is lame, and it suggests that they did, in fact, simply want to brush this under the rug. That's not cool. But what's also not cool is that this woman is making such a big freaking deal over something that could have been resolved with a lot less fanfare. She could have simply said, "Hey – that's not at all appropriate" and then cancelled her membership, demanded a full refund, told all of her friends, maybe even publicized it on her local news if LA Fitness wasn't responsive to her complaint, and I guarantee you the matter would have been dealt with. But noooooooooooooooooo. She's going the whole, "I'm emotionally distressed" route, which seriously just GRATES ON MY NERVES. It's such total bullsh*t.
LOOK at her. She's not emotionally scarred. She's an out of shape woman looking for a payoff. And there is never a shortage of lawyers ready to capitalize on these kinds of cases. If those two trainers did, in fact, make inappropriate sexually suggestive comments to this chick, they should be disciplined and probably fired. But for the entire gym to be on the hook for "emotionally traumatizing" this woman is complete crap. That chick needs to CHICK FREAKING UP, and quit making our gender look like high maintenance, perpetually offended, hypersensitive harpies.
GAWD.
