Outpouring Support
People were quick to show their support for Breckynn, with one saying: “The thing that’s really frustrating is the more curvy a woman is, the more pressured she is to be “modest,” I mean come on folks. Is this really about being “modest” or body shaming cuz men can’t handle it??” Another shared: “What’s worse is that the referee who made this call disqualifying her… was a WOMAN! Seriously? How can a woman do that to a girl? Stop body shaming females for being who they are!”

The Decision
In the end, the Associated decided to overturn the ruling, reinstating Breckynn’s points and her title. Two stern reminders were sent out to staff and referees as well. The first was that there could be no assumptions made about standard0issue suits, something that a lot of people felt should have been obvious. The second was perhaps the most important.
