RICHMOND, KY — Kymberly Clem learned the hard way that just because a person buys a garment at a mall doesn’t mean they’ll be allowed to wear it there – and that the insecurities of some can trump the peaceful actions of attractive others.Clem had purchased a mini-dress at the Richmond, KY mall this past Saturday and chose to wear it when she returned to the mall the following day. That fashion decision led to a security cop deeming her attire inappropriate for public viewing and escorting her out of the mall.

At issue, apparently, were the jealousies of various married women who had been shopping at the complex with their husbands. Alas for 20-year-old co-ed Clem, who had only been in the building for a few minutes, the husbands found her easy on the eyes – so easy, in fact, that their wives complained.

They did not, however, complain about their husband’s wandering eyes, but about the object of their desires.

According to MyFoxBoston, a security guard approached Clem, who attends Eastern Kentucky University, and told her that he believed the hemline on her floral halter dress was inappropriately short for a mall visit. He backed up his concerns by pointing out that an assortment of women had complained to him that her apparel made it impossible for them to shop, because their husbands were “checking her out.”

While some might consider this a personal problem to be resolved between the marital bodies involved, mall security concluded otherwise.

“He made me turn all the way around while he started me up and down,” Clem told the Richmond Register. “The only thing he said was that other people didn’t like the way I looked, so he wanted me to leave.”

Clem has hired local defense attorney Wes Browne to represent her in a possible suit against, although she has not made a final decision about whether to sue.

Browne indicates that although the duo are “in the beginning stages and are reviewing her legal options,” his client is attempting to use her experience to raise awareness about discrimination.

“I want to speak for everybody else who has been discriminated against but has never said anything,” she explained to the Register. “I want them to apologizes and let me know that in this day and age, a woman has a right to wear what she wants.”
