Woman rejected massage, called 'too fat'
Laura Smith was excited to get a massage after completing a half marathon, but she claims she was turned away from the facility. Smith told KDVR the doctor told her, "I'm sorry, but you're too fat for our tables. You'll probably break a table and you'd have to pay for it." Smith left the center in tears. She is 6'3" and 250 pounds. The owner of the Aurora, Colorado facility says she called Smith "large" and she was worried a table might collapse because one had broken under a 165-lb man.
