Deniz Saypinar was traveling to Miami for Swim Week. The bodybuilder and fitness model checked in at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and prepared to board the plane.
Deniz, who was born in Turkey, says she originally moved to the States to find more freedom as a woman. Unfortunately, she says her recent travel experience has been disheartening in that respect.
While Deniz was standing at the gate, an airline employee approached her and told her she would not be able to board her plane.
"Because you're naked," the agent told her.
At first, Deniz thought it was some kind of joke.
She was wearing a crop top and a pair of Daisy Dukes when she was told she looked too inappropriate to be around the other families on the plane. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Deniz shared the encounter on Instagram (with her million followers), as it left her stunned and physically shaking.
And even after putting on a different shirt, Deniz says she was still banned from the flight …
Deniz was then denied from another flight.
Deniz's outfit was cited as the reason she was denied from a second flight. She had to wait in the airport overnight before finally being allowed to board a third flight.
Deniz talked about her feelings in a interview after the incident.
