'Blatant bullying': Model booted off ice rink over outfit

A British OnlyFans star says she was shamed for wearing a mini skirt while ice-skating in public – after a bitter “Karen” complained to management about the skimpy garment.

Lowri Rose – who describes herself as a “professional socialite and selfie taker” – was on the ice at Winter Wonderland in Cardiff, Wales, on Friday night when she was ordered off the rink by employees, the New York Post reports.

Rose soon learned that an older woman had made a complaint about her “inappropriate” mini skirt, so she took to TikTok to vent her rage in a video that has now gone viral.

“Hating on me won’t make your t*ts any bigger or your husband hate you any less!” Rose said in the clip, which was directed at the “old bag” who made the complaint.

“Screw you Karen for ruining my Winter Wonderland experience and screw you Winter Wonderland staff for complying with a Karen.”

Rose went on to call the incident “embarrassing”, saying rink staff “made a spectacle” of her. She further accused the company of complying with “blatant bullying”.

In a subsequent interview with the Daily Star, Rose insisted she’d been targeted because of her exposed tattoos.

“I knew as soon as they wanted to pull me off the ice what it was for. I know it’s due to how I look in general because this is such a frequent occurrence for some women,” she claimed.

“I’m covered in tattoos so it’s not uncommon that I’m harassed by Karen-type women.”

Rose also showed she was wearing shorts underneath the mini skirt, so as not to flash fellow skaters on the rink.

“If it was a case of my skirt coming up and someone wanted to let me know, I would have no issue, I don’t want the humiliation of being exposed in public,” she said.

“But there’s no required dress code for ice skating so I don’t see an issue with wearing a skirt. I grew up ice skating and it’s not uncommon for skaters to wear tiny clothes.”

The defiant model said she refuses to be policed by complaining “Karens” and will rock the mini skirt once again.

“I will continue to wear outfits that make me feel confident, this hasn’t changed a thing,” she vowed.

After Rose’s TikTok went viral, Winter Wonderland reportedly reached out to her to apologise and offer her a refund.

“The respect has been restored. Fuming no more,” she wrote on Twitter.
