Funded Hypocrisy - Formerly Embarassed Kyla Ebbert Now Posing for Playboy
[Edit]
[Edit]
Kyla Ebbert was the formerly embarrassed woman who was booted from Southwest Airlines for dressing too hot for takeoff.
Recall that Kyla was suing Southwest Airlines, noting to the Today Show, “I was humiliated, I was embarrassed… I felt like everyone was staring.” Ironically, she is now posing for a magazine where people will no doubt be staring.
This is a stellar example of what we will term ‘funded hypocrisy’.
In July at San Diego's airport, a Southwest employee asked Kyla to change her outfit -- a miniskirt, a sweater over a tank-top and high heels -- or get off the plane. Kyla had already boarded the flight from San Diego to Tucson. She didn't have any other clothes to change into because she was returning the same day. After Kyla adjusted her clothes to cover herself up more, the Southwest employee relented and let Kyla take the flight. She concealed herself even more with a blanket during the flight, but was understandably humiliated by the experience. Ironically, after all, most observers thought her ensemble was no more revealing than the average summer outfit of any college girl.
The media pounced on the story, and Kyla found herself modeling the offending clothes everywhere from The Today Show to The Ellen Degeneres Show. Richard Branson told Kyla she was welcome anytime on his Virgin Airlines. "I definitely have a new airline of choice," says Kyla, who had been a dedicated Southwest traveler before the incident.
