Woman went to Miami for her friend’s birthday. She tried to get inside the clubs, but the promoters thought she was too big: ‘Miami is just ragebait’

Sidney (@sidney_autumn) went to Miami to celebrate a friend’s birthday. However, she had issues with club promoters at several unnamed establishments, who allegedly wouldn’t let her in for free because of her appearance.

Sidney said she went to Miami last weekend for her friend’s birthday. She said it “wasn’t a terrible experience” overall, and that what matters is that her friend enjoyed it. However, she has a bone to pick with local club promoters.

“Miami promoters, you will not be seeing heaven,” Sidney told TikTok. She alleged that to get inside a club, people either had to pay “obscene amounts” of money or have a man find a woman attractive enough to let him sit at her table. Sidney finds herself cute and attractive. However, she also acknowledged that she isn’t the type of woman these men were looking for.

“I have my hair in braids. I’m not exactly skinny—I know I’m a little chubby. I still think I’m cute, but you know,” Sidney explained. She also thought being a Black woman factored into the men’s judgment. While out club-hopping, Sidney was with her friend and her friend’s friend. She claimed that at one point, a promoter told her, her friend, and her friend’s friend that they could come in for free, but that Sidney would have to pay to enter. Although Sidney expected that, she said she still felt “annoyed” by the experience.

Her friend had to defend her from club promoters

“I have men pushing 40, bald and fatter than I am, telling me that I’m too ugly to get into the club,” Sidney alleged. Before going into the clubs, she said she and her friends had to send photos of themselves and their Instagram accounts. When they got to the clubs, the promoters would allegedly turn them away when they saw Sidney because of her looks and weight.

“Like, if I could explode Miami with my mind, I would,” Sidney said, recalling the alleged disrespect she experienced. She said that of all the places she has been, Miami is her least favorite. By the third time she was asked to pay to get into a club because of her appearance, she wanted to leave.

The consolation was that she wasn’t left behind and that her friend defended her. Her friend, the birthday celebrant, allegedly fought the promoters and tried to get Sidney in. It’s a far cry from this other woman from Dallas, who kept entertaining men over her friend, even though she was invited to celebrate her friend’s birthday.

Sidney didn’t want to make her group jump from club to club in Miami for a place to celebrate. She also felt guilty that her friend had to defend her on her birthday. She commented, “Miami is just ragebait.” But promoters aren’t fixated on physical looks alone. Some women were also reportedly turned away at a Miami club because of their outfits.
