Lane Bryant Charges ABC, Fox Have Plus-Size 'Double Standard'

Lane Bryant claims that Fox and ABC have a double standard when it comes to plus-sized models, with Fox demanding "excessive re-edits" of a Cacique commercial featuring model Ashley Graham, and ABC not allowing it to air on "Dancing with the Stars."

"ABC and Fox have made the decision to define beauty for you by denying our new, groundbreaking Cacique commercial from airing freely on their networks," the company says. ABC says Lane Bryant is just looking for publicity.

Erin Donnelly invites comparisons to "scantily clad housewives so desperate they seduce every man on the block" and lingerie ads from advertisers such as Victoria's Secret. After viewing the videos embedded in her blog, Donnelly concludes that the Lane Bryant ad is "pretty sedate" compared to the steamy Victoria's Secret spot.
