Ajay Rochester has accused a Bras N Things employee of ‘fat shaming’ her after she visited a store in Sydney on Thursday.
The 55-year-old Biggest Loser host explained in a TikTok video that she went to the boutique to buy bras but was disappointed when the woman refused to try them on.
“If you don’t want to sell bras, just don’t open your door,” she fumes.
‘I’ve been waiting specifically to go to Australia and go to Bras N Things because it’s one of my favourite stores and I know they fit and have a good range.
‘I’ve lost a lot of weight recently and waited until I came to Australia to buy bras that fit me. I have money to spend.’
Ajay then claimed that the employee told her they didn’t have any sports bras and that they came in “many sizes,” after which he directed her to another department store.
“I thought it was because they were closing but it’s 20 minutes later and they’re still very much open. I have the money to spend and she spent me at David Jones,” she continued.
“Why are you open if you don’t sell bras or is it just a curvy girl thing? Or do you have fat-phobic sales associates who won’t try you on?”

Ajay continued, “We feel bad about our bodies enough without being shamed or denied service. You guys need to do better.”

It comes after Ajay described her use of controversial ‘weight loss‘ drug Ozempic after struggling with her weight for years.
Ozempic is a diabetes medication that is sold privately for weight loss. Celebrities including Sharon Osbourne and Amy Schumer have admitted to using the drug.
In an interview with 7NEWS Spotlight in April, Ajay opened up about her heartbreaking struggle with her weight, claiming that Ozempic has changed her life.
“This drug has completely changed my life. It’s not a trick. It’s not cheating. It’s medicine,” she said.

“It was like I was a prisoner in my body… Let the magic happen. I have a disease, like I didn’t want to die from obesity.”
She recalls that during her time as a host on The Biggest Loser, she faced immense pressure to look a certain way, which led to unhealthy eating habits.
“The pressure to lose those extra pounds was huge. When I was hosting Biggest Loser, I was a light 150 pounds and I wasn’t eating, I wasn’t eating,” she explained.
‘I was an emaciated doll who apparently still wasn’t thin enough.’
She heartbreakingly recounted how she was often publicly humiliated because of her weight and how she once had a milkshake thrown at her head on the street.
“I mean, people have thrown things at me in the street, like one time in Sydney, a milkshake was thrown at me. The guys were like, ‘Yeah, you fat pig.’ And then they threw a milkshake at me as they drove past,” she explained.
