Dani Mathers News: Playboy Model Faces Jail Time, Change.org Petition Update [VIDEO]
Dani Mathers could be heading to jail after fat shaming a naked woman at the gym.
Months ago, the Playboy Playmate took to Snapchat where she posted a photo of the side view of the woman, along with the caption, If I can't unsee this then you can't either." Now, police have located the victim and are recommending prosecution.
"The LAPD has finally tracked down the woman Playboy Playmate Dani Mathers body shamed and they'll ask prosecutors to nail her," TMZ reported on Monday. "The woman -- in her 70's -- wants Mathers to feel the full force of the law for taking a pic of her while she was changing clothes in the locker room of an LA Fitness. The woman is more than willing to testify and cooperate in any way she can to bring Mathers to justice."
Mathers is facing a charge of Dissemination of Private Images, a misdemeanor that is punishable by 6 months in jail.
After the incident occurred earlier this summer, a petition was launched against Mathers on Change.org.
"On, or about, July 14th 2016 Ms. Dani Mathers took a private of photo of an unnamed female patron at a local private gym and posted said photo to the online social media application Snapchat," read the petition, which was started by a woman named Jessica Perez. "While Ms. Mathers has since apologized for her offense she needs to be brought to court with criminal charges as she has committed a criminal act. Her act affects the community in that people do not feel safe changing or showering in what should be a safe and private environment."
As of Monday, the petition had garnered 33,502 signatures, which was just shy of its goal of 35,000.
