Following a war of words where the retailer claimed the network was discriminating against full figured women by refusing to air the lingerie commercial, ABC issued a statement saying they did not treat Lane Bryant any differently than another advertiser.
The network wouldn't air an ad starring a plus-sized model (left) but has no problem with Victoria's Secret ads starring thinner models like the one to the right.
“Their statements are not true,” the statement said. “The ad was accepted. Lane Bryant was treated absolutely no differently than any advertiser for the same product. We were willing to accommodate them, but they chose to seek publicity instead."
But according to Lane Bryant, the Disney-owned network refused to air the brand's lingerie ad during its hit show "Dancing with the Stars," saying it bared too much cleavage, an insider said.
And Lane Bryant thinks the net's executives are a bunch of prejudiced boobs.
