Woman to sue over obesity jibes
A woman from Croatia who unwittingly found herself on television is to sue the programme makers, it has emerged.
Gordana Knezic, 40, was shocked to find herself on Croatian station HTV, shown as an example of an overweight person for a documentary.
She said she knew nothing about the programme and said she was embarrassed by the appearance.
"It was terrible. An apology is not enough. I want to make a point with this legal case. I want to show that attacks on human dignity like this cannot be tolerated," Ms Knezic commented.
HTV is now facing a £15,000 lawsuit, but said it had been in touch with the lady involved.
Research published by LighterLife last month showed that nine out of ten overweight people have suffered abuse as a result of their size.
Those aged 16 to 24 were most likely to use jibes towards larger people, with 56 per cent saying they had done so.
