To explain these accusations, Sean Whittal, Regional Director of Athletic Movati Group confirmed in a statement:
We ask our members to respect each other by wearing modest and appropriate outfits.
He also referred specifically to Jenna's case, stating that:
Some members complained about Mrs Vecchio's outfit because it made them feel uncomfortable.
Sean Whittall also explained that the staff did not intend to embarrass Jenna, and even less to humiliate her. He then apologised on behalf of all the staff.
