Singer Jess Glynne mocked after being rejected from a restaurant for wearing a tracksuit

Singer Jess Glynne claimed “discrimination” when she was turned away from a fancy restaurant for her sloppy outfit – now she’s an internet laughing stock.

A British singer has reached unlikely “Karen” status after calling out a swanky London restaurant for turning her away in a tracksuit.

The singer, who featured on Clean Bandit’s popular track Rather Be in 2014, posted a damning review of Mayfair seafood joint Sexy Fish, complaining that she was “discriminated” against by their staff.

The reason for her public gripe was that she was refused entry to the restaurant – which has a strict dress code – because she was wearing a full tracksuit.

Along with a mirror selfie of her outfit, Glynne wrote to her 798,000 followers in a since-edited post:

“Dear @sexyfishlondon I turned up to your restaurant looking like this and you looked me and my friend up and down and said no you can’t come in and your restaurant was EMPTY.

“@sexyfishlondon please check yourself if this is how you treat people cause it’s rude, off putting, embarrassing and most definitely not inviting,” she continued.

“We were made to wait and two members of staff came to look at us and make a decision based on our appearance. I think the attitude of your staff needs to change as that was pure discrimination. Thanks and bye.”

Glynne has since removed the words “pure discrimination” from her caption following fierce ridicule from fans, which saw one dub her a “Karen, but make it edge and liberal”.

Others were simply baffled by her claim, and poked fun at her for taking aim at the restaurant for simply following their policy.

If anyone asks what privilege is, I’m just going to point them to Jess Glynne complaining she’s been discriminated against because she can’t wear a hoodie while eating £300 sushi in Mayfair. pic.twitter.com/FNUKGY8dnR

The funniest/most tragic thing about the whole Jess Glynne saga is that an actual working class person going to eat £300 Sushi in Mayfair would dress up, a weird posh girl who wants to pretend she’s working class would dress like she’s off down petrol station

The singer later addressed the online backlash in a video posted to followers.

She wrote in the caption: “Hi. Just want you guys to understand that I posted a picture of my attire as I was very aware of what I was wearing and it wasn’t about the dress code.

“I was out on a Monday afternoon and just passed by the restaurant and was blown back by the rudeness of the staff. Once again I used the wrong word for my explanation and I recognise that. Mistake.”
