"The Basmanny court turned down the ballerina's claim, considering that the published information was not damaging to her honor, professional reputation and dignity," Interfax news agency quoted her lawyer, Lev Zubovsky, as saying.

:glugglug

this is in Russia, in the USA she would now own the theater

Good thing the tort lawyers haven't completely OUTLAWED common sense in Russia...the way they did in the USA. :(

hehe stupid bitch

I think keeping a good weight is necessary in her profession.

Cant say I have ever seen a chubby Ballerina.

for the amount of fat people in this world..shouldnt fat be IN by now

A friend of mine dances for a ballet company (i rather not say for whom)
When trying out for the part of Primaballerina she had to lose another 10lbs (and she is a rail)
Most Ballerinas I know and met befor, smoke like crazy (yup) take uppers, downers and live on diet pills. Weight is VERY important .. No boobs are VERY important..
When a friend of hers had her baby and her boobs wouldn't hurry up and got smaller she wore tight bandages over her chest so they would look smaller.

There is a lot behind the scene of Professional Ballet dancer which would make your head spin. Trust me,, you really don't want to know most of the stuff and just go and enjoy the performance.

You think Girls in Porn is competitive you haven't seen NOTHING.

she's a real porker

pic probably taken before she got fat

what we consider fat and what the ballet consider fat is are two different things. I worked and danced with a ballet company in Austin for a few years...those girls need to be thin and stay light for the ballet to look as graceful as it does.. those guys have to be able to gracefully lift these women as parnters..thats not happening if the girls are too heavy. It really is a whole other world and the girls are some serious prima donna bitches

bitch got owned

exactly!
if they fired her because she was black, or a jew, then this would be illegal discrimination. But a ballerina's weight is a very relevant criteria for her profession

oops

when are people going to start being accountable for their actions? Glad she lost....

She could get a job as a Hippopotamus ballerina in Disney's Fantasia :1orglaugh

It could be a safety issue. So much weight on a tiny point would creat a huge stress on the floor boards. :winkwink:

"At 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches) and weighing around 50 kg (110 pounds), the blonde ballerina's measurements were considered larger than usual for a dancer. She has dismissed the criticism"

yeah what a fucking cow :1orglaugh

Actually, she's a lot taller than 168cm. And weighs more than it looks. I've seen her so many times on TV. She's grown fat for a ballet dancer. And her partners used to complain about her weight(they couldn't lift her gracefully without breaking their necks) In fact, I think she fucked someone to get the job. She's beautiful, but no good dancer.:BangBang:

yep bitch

Exactly what i was thinking:thumbsup
