Kymberly Clem, 20, says she walked into the Richmond Mall Saturday but was soon escorted out all because of her dress.

"I was walking through and 10 minutes after I was there, the security guard approached me, asked me to step aside, made me completely do a turn around while he stared me up and down and then asked me to leave because my outfit was too provocative and people's husbands was (sic) looking at me," says Clem.

Clem says she bought the dress at the mall just the day before. She says she's worn more revealing clothing before to the mall, but this is the first time she's been kicked out.

Clem now wants answers and says she's been wrongly turned away.

27 NEWSFIRST tried contacting the Richmond Mall for comment, but those requests were denied.

There's no word yet if Clem plans to pursue any action against the mall.

if you can not bend over without being obscene, then it should not have been bought.

Nothing about the dress or if it's decent or not matters. The mall is private property and they can ask anyone to leave their property for any reason, or no reason at all. Just because the public is generally invited to enter the property, does not give anyone the right to stay there against the managments decisions.
