A Kentucky woman, who made national news after her clothing got her kicked out of a mall, has filed a lawsuit.

The suit is against the Richmond Mall and Eagle Security for assault, false imprisonment, and outrageous conduct by mall security.

Kymberly Clem says she was asked to leave the mall back in August by a security guard who told her the dress she was wearing was too short.

Her attorney, Wes Brown, says they have been waiting for six weeks to hear from the Richmond Mall. They say an apology by mall management would have made a difference.

Clem says she bought the dress at the mall. A manager there says it was actually a shirt, meant to be worn with pants.

She has filed a suit? If she had been wearing a "suit" this wouldn't have happened.

The mall and the security firm have the right to refuse to allow people in the mall as long as it is not for reasons of race, religion, sex, or nationality. This is not discrimination, this is asking a girl to leave because they believed the dress to be inappropriate for a family setting. They have the right to do that. If she was walking down the street in a bathing suit she would be fine, but a private establishment has the right to refuse people. How many times have you walked into a fast food resturant and seen a sign that says no shirt, no shoes, no service? This is no different.

It's unbelievable the clothes young adults wear. It is good to see someone stand up and voice their objection to this type of behavior.
