Walmart Forced To Apologize Over ‘Fat Girl’ Halloween Costumes Category

10/27/14

Walmart has been forced to apologize for listing plus size Halloween outfits as ‘fat girl costumes’ on their website.

Adding further to the controversy, many of the ‘fat girls’ modeling the clothes don’t even appear to be plus size, including a very trim looking vampire.

“This never should have been on our site. It is unacceptable, and we apologize,” a spokesperson for the retail chain told MailOnline.

“We are working to remove it as soon as possible and ensure this never happens again.”

The “fat girl” category has since been changed to 'Women's Plus Size Halloween Costumes’..
