My student is victim of online pole bullying! Please help!
Friends I need your help!
One of my beautiful Aradia Fitness students Claudia has been the victim of online pole bullying. She gave a fabulous performance last year at the Atlantic Pole Championship and was a crowd favorite… Alloy Images snapped some great photos of her and were also in love with her stage presence & style.
Some pathetic loser found those photos and uploaded them to a website called “Hott Ghetto Mess” and these assholes are being so cruel. Claudia is competing again in this year’s APC event and is so devastated by the cruel comments as she prepared for the competition in April.
Please help – comment here and on her photo on the website with POSITIVE comments for Claudia! Let’s show those jerks that polers won’t be bullied and we loved all shapes, sizes & fitness levels… and let’s show Claudia how much the pole community has her back!

It is so sad to see how cruel people can be. Are we still in grade school or something? Why do people need to reflect there own insecurity on others by being so negative.
-
She looks awesome, people are so mean sometimes spouting off crap hiding behind their computer screens….Good luck to her in April!!!

It’s so stupid. The site is all about shaming people for dressing and behaving inappropriately and gracelessly.
But she’s perfectly appropriately dressed and looks graceful and classy – she’s wearing dance wear, dancing at a dance performance event!
Way to miss the freaking point, Internet misigynists.
Dakota I your work btw.

Stupid phone.
Should read ‘misogynists’
And ‘Dakota I heart your work’
🙂 -
Done!!!!

Is there some way to have the photos removed? I am pretty sure if they are water marked or not the property of the poster, that she can try to have them removed.

Alloy Images can definitely get involved with a cease&desist to the website. And then to the website HOST (who are usually very good with stuff like this).

People are such arseholes. I hope she is okay! She looks flexible and graceful and awesome!

Thank you so much everyone for your positivity & support of my student Claudia (see one of my previous post) and for sharing to generate more support for her. Claudia does not have a FB account but I am sending her all the comments as they come in!
And for those of you reference the photo rights, be assured that Alloy Images has been ALL OVER this since we found out yesterday. They are behind Claudia 100% and working to get the images removed from the website!
Please please please if you are gonna be at APC in April, make sure to give her a big hug and catch her performance – I will not be able to be there this year and want her to have lots of friends & love!!!!

i have tryed to post but had to register will definitly write a comment to show support. this is very low from theese guys owning the website … this concept of website is getting popular ( bashing people online) its terrible .
-
Dakota tell her to sign up here 🙂
-
tell her to come here. I love this site, and people are cruel sometimes without even meaning too, I’ve been met with nothing but sarcasm when I tell people I pole. Whatever. I only get to live this life once and I’m going out doing something I love.
-
How mean, I’m sorry :(. Those are just jealous folks without own skills, I bet. No one else spends time hating over the internet.
-
The top photo of her in the split fanning herself is simply gorgeous. Can I have her splits please?
-
Ok, Im going into sailor mode, but ill do it politely. People like this piss me off to no end. They have nothing better to do than try to belittle people from behind closed doors. Who the f…k do they think they are? Yet, do you see them attempting to do anything even close to what Claudia is doing? Of course not. They will get karma zapped somehow, I pray! Im jealous of her split, its perfect and graceful and I think she looks fabulous. The people responcible for this bullying are weak and afraid. Claudia is a bold, powerful, beautiful woman who has no fear to do what she puts her mind to. Go Claudia!!!P.S. Dakota,you rock!
-
To be honest I would rather not give their site my traffic so I will give her all my love here 🙂 I hope Alloy Images nails them hard with that DMCA–stealing images is a serious offence. I have heard of people getting heavy fines for it; I think in this case it would be very well deserved.
Dakota you are amazing and even more so for supporting your student! Big hugs to both of you!

Some of those comments were incredibly racist and misogynistic. Not to mention sizist and just plain nasty. I honestly wonder if people who feel free to use the cloak of internet anonymity to be terribly mean to others are really like that in real life. If so, I feel sorry for the people around them.
That said, just those stills of Claudia look wonderful. Lovely costume, excellent poses, and it looks like a lovely vintage-inspired burlesque routine! I would love to see it. She looks strong, flexible, like one hel* of a performer!
Good luck at the next comp!
