Jodie Marsh has slammed online fashion mecca ASOS after the retailer called her a "man" on their Twitter feed.
The glamour girl turned bodybuilder said that she was "shaking with rage" and "in tears" after the official Twitter page of the fashion website compared her muscle-bound physique to a man's, the Daily Star reported.
The insensitive tweet occurred after a male customer messaged the company saying: "Would you mind employing a model who's built like a man so anyone who actually lifts can buy clothes that fit from you?"
A reply from ASOS's verified account read: "This do?" along with a photo of Jodie participating in a bodybuilding competition.
A day after ASOS posted the picture, Jodie, a long-time customer of the retailer, noticed the hurtful comment.
