Inconsiderate Man Mocked A Young Woman Because Of Her Dress, So ASOS Placed Her Photo On Its Website As A Sign Of Support

Tinder can be a rough place to meet people, and Thea Chippendale found that out when one match decided to insult her instead of making conversation. The message was blunt, rude, and aimed at the dress she wore in one of her photos, which made the whole exchange even more unnecessary.

Thea posted the exchange on Twitter, and the reaction was immediate. What started as a nasty Tinder message quickly turned into a much bigger story when ASOS noticed the criticism and decided to respond in a very public way.

That is where the story took a surprising turn.

Thea Chippendale is 21 years old, and when the tweet happened, she was still a university student. Now, she works as a digital PR executive for a digital PR & SEO agency called Rise At Seven.

The situation started when she was scrolling through Tinder and came across a message from the guy, who then wrote those comments. She was so angry that she decided to tweet them, only thinking it would shock a few of her friends. But within a matter of hours, it took off, and thousands of people across the world tweeted her with support.

The response online was quick, and it only made the original message look worse.

Thea also spoke about her response to ASOS’s reaction to the tweet: 'I was in shock when ASOS responded the way they did. I couldn’t believe that they had done what they did, and I was so grateful that they were able to put such a positive spin on such a negative situation.'

'Since the tweet, the CEO of ASOS, Nick Beighton, invited me to their HQ, where he and the amazing ASOS staff gave me a tour of how ASOS works and all the different departments they have,' Thea says. 'They also gave me a makeover, and I got to have a little photoshoot with their photographers - it was an amazing experience,' she concluded.

Thea also described how it has significantly impacted her career and life in general: 'As a result of the story, my now-boss tweeted about it, and her tweet went viral too. We managed to stay in contact, and now I work for her at Rise At Seven! So all in all, it’s amazing how much one tweet can impact your life. It’s incredible! My picture now gets recognized everywhere, and I’m now 'the ASOS girl.'

ASOS turned a rude comment into a very public show of support.

Also, it echoes the AITA debate where OP confronted a family friend for inappropriate behavior at a casual gathering.
