The employee wrote her comment after actress Liu Yifei posted of herself wearing a pair of Le Fame jeans, sparking a buying spree among her fans. Liu Yifei is best known for her roles in Disney‘s live-action Mulan movie and Chinese series such as The Story of a Noble Family, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and The Tale of Rose.
The employee reportedly told one customer, via Le Fame’s social media account, that they looked better in the jeans than Liu Yifei because Liu Yifei is, according to her, “a bit fat.” The employee’s remarks reportedly went viral on Weibo, sparking backlash from Liu Yifei’s fans.
According to a Le Fame representative, a female employee’s behavior violated the company’s policies regarding customer service and employee conduct.
