NEW YORK - A former reality show star, who is painfully thin, has sparked debate on a fashion website.

Allie Crandell, who appeared on MTV’s ‘The City’, sparked debate on RevolveClothing.com when buyers began commenting on her, Styleite.com reported.

“I can’t believe revolve would think that this model is a good representation for them,” the New York Daily News quoted one user as commenting.

“If you want people to buy from your company, don’t make them feel bad by showing your clothing on someone who clearly has no self esteem or respect for their body,” the user added.

After the comments continued, Revolve issued a statement in the comments’ section promising to work closely with Crandell and her agent to get her to a healthier size.

“She won’t be appearing in any of our new product batchers or in any of our fashion editorial photos moving forward until the issue is adequately addressed,” the company promised.

But customers didn’t seem to be satisfied by the company’s response, and Crandell’s picture remained on the website as they kept promising to boycott the website. (ANI)
