Woman accused of dressing ‘inappropriately’ at Disney World hits out at ‘uneducated’ haters

A woman who was criticised for her choice of clothing at a Disney theme park has now hit back at the trolls, calling the comments 'uneducated'.

When 21-year-old university graduate Jessie Lee decided to share photos of her summer working as part of a cultural exchange trip to Disney World Resorts in Florida, she had no idea about the backlash she would soon receive online.

Excited to share her experience online, Jessie made a series of TikToks of herself both working and enjoying the park.

However, her choice of outfit in one video in particular soon drew unwanted attention.

While the majority of Jessie's time in the park saw her wearing uniforms assigned by Disney, the university graduate also shared images of outfits she'd worn on days off.

In several of the images, Jessie can be seen wearing a red top and red gingham shorts alongside a pair of Snow White-inspired mouse ears - an outfit decision which divided people online.

Jessie believes her outfit didn't look out of place compared to other women visiting the park during the scorching summer months, which meant the comments saying the outfit made her look like a 'stripper' took her by surprise.

Admitting most of the attention was focused on her 'bloomer' style shorts, she said: "Someone just commented saying I acted like a stripper. Some people just like to be negative.

"A lot of the comments are very positive. I did have one person ask if my shorts were an adult diaper which I found hilarious.

"I find that hilarious because I know where people are coming from, but these shorts were very fashionable this summer so maybe they just didn't understand the vision."

Guidelines on the Disney World Resorts website states guests must wear shirts and shoes at all times. Clothing which is inappropriate - such as clothing with objectionable language or graphics, excessively torn clothing, or clothing that drags on the ground - is not permitted in the resorts.

Despite the backlash, Jessie has since defended her choice in clothing, saying: "I was in Disney World all summer from June until August as I was working there."

Explaining that temperatures reached the 'high 30s' most days, she continued: "Because I worked there, I would see hundreds of people every day and what they were wearing at the parks so I felt I fit in well with what everyone was wearing."

However not all of the feedback Jessie received was negative, with several followers defending her decision to dress comfortably for the high temperatures.

"They obviously haven't ever been in the Florida heat before, you go girly," one person commented, while another wrote: "Literally nothing wrong with this outfit, it's cute. I'm a cast member and I've seen way more revealing [outfits] than this."

While a third user joked: "Not inappropriate, gives dads something to look at."
