The girl was interviewed on Fox earlier today.
She's very pretty. I've seen shorter skirts on many girls this summer. Even I've had one or two on almost as short and I'm in my mid 50's!
From her pictures in the dress......I'd say those little green gremlins were running amok in the mall.
Mall security was wrong.
i dunno. i think they probably exercised poor judgment, but i don't see how it's actionable. a mall is private property, isn't it? if it's like the malls in my area, they chase out kids wearing jeans that only cover half of their ass, or that they think is gang related, & etc. i don't see much difference.
This is the part that is gonna make another lawyer a millionaire:
Kymberly Clem, a 20-year-old student at Eastern Kentucky University, wore the dress Sunday after purchasing it from the mall in Richmond the previous day,
It would be a "reasonable person's" belief that if the dress could be purchased there, it can be worn there.
it's ironic, but I don't see how it makes embarrassment actionable.
Well, let's put it this way: if she had purchased that dress that very day, and had chosen to wear it out of the store, would there have been the same response from the "Rent-a-Barney"?
I personally don't think so. More to the point, her lawyer is gonna sell that point wholesale to the jury, and the jury is gonna buy it by the 20-piece bucket full.
it will never see the inside of a court room. at most, she gets a public apology for the mall-cops for perhaps exercising poor judgment (but acting well within their authority).
I think that's all she's asking for considering she's planning to auction the dress and donate any proceeds to charity. Her lawyer says the mall won't even contact them so I'll reserve judgement for what she's after when she gets her apology.
And I agree with the comments about the green-eyed monster. Would seem more appropriate to escort your husband's roving eye out of the mall instead of some young woman in a short dress, but we wouldn't want to piss off the 'checkbook' paying for that shopping trip I guess.
