On June 29, Gaia Wijesinghe met with two photographers, including local Matthias Wiegand, at the Loon Lake rest stop. From there, the group made their way to Kentucky-Alleyne Provincial Park where Wijesinghe and her boyfriend intended to camp.
Because there were other people at the beach, Wijesinghe asked them if they would be bothered by her removing the top half of her bathing suit. According to Wijesinghe, no one objected, and she felt it would be acceptable to go ahead. “My shoot was finished, and the photographers had left, we realized it would take a few hours for the tow truck to come in from town. So, we went back to the lake.”
The park facility operator then told Wijesinghe and her partner that they were banned from the park for life.
Thats a whole Lotta no I don't want to see it
go to Wreck Beach! bunch of dummies. 🤨
I think the problem for me is that she would be posing provocatively to be photographed. This in itself sexualizes toplessness and promotes breasts as a commodity to benefit from. Not a big fan of the model industry and it's impact on society as a whole.
Black breasts matter
Great way to get publicity.
That's a model? Okay...
Well my dear we are in a pandemic
I find it ironic that no one complains about watching a young Vietnamese girl on TV, running naked down the street, screaming in agony from napalm burns, or a woman who has had her breast shot off, but is offended by a beautiful woman's naked breasts!
She was banned for not wearing a mask...that face is a crime scene
Beach, children, topless, pictures and tons of attention...she got it all!. Learning experience for her that is useful to have common sense also.
Horrible - we need more toplessness
Goodbye!
She ain’t that cute so it had to happen. Seriously, topless in Canada is legal.
Next thing you know they will ban people from whipping out their dicks at playgrounds! Imagine!
Wow. What’s the big deal about boobs anyway?
She can sue...cause its legal.
Pic or it didnt happen lol
Girl, put some clothes on!!
Maybe that’s what they told her. Didn’t wanna hurt her feelings 😀
How is this news ?
She’s a model? Yikes, scary!!!!!
This all you got to cover, ctv ?
What did she expect? She would have come to Ontario
It is a public space. You can’t have your breasts flopped out for the entire World to view unless you have their consent.
Also..... who cares!!!!
So what! You’re banned from one of the hundreds of provincial parks in BC. Get over it and move on with life. More important issues are happening.
I'm going to need the topless photos before I pick sides on this.
So....?!
You can do it in my backyard
Well, you do the deed you pay the price.
Looks lovely beautiful to me
Chill out...Toplessness is legal...
She should have had a BLM sign in a couple of the shots and she would have been ok. In fact CTV would have featured her and explained her innovation and artistic talents.
Didn't Canada make it legal years ago to go topless for females?
Think of the children
This is not real news,nobody want yo know
Another useless rant from CTV news
Justin and his feminism are going to be all over this one...
Park guests can not forgive the need for a permit. If the park attendant actually spoke to them rudely, that's another issue, but they got busted without a permit. Shut up, get out, nove along.
The park ranger sounds like a mega Karen
Will.
Good!
Such a free country. Don’t forget your park permit or your top
Why is this news?
Bye bye
Seriously ? Banned for life because she removed the tiny cloth covering her nipples? Absurd; so they changed their reason to not having a permit!!🤦🏻♀️
Shouldn’t they get a permit for a professional photo shoot at a provincial park? I personally don’t have a problem with topless ladies at beach. It certainly is not indecent. If men can go shirtless so can the ladies, tit for tat.
She should have went to Wreck Beach it’s BC nudist beach
Move to Ontario it's legal here. And just as hot.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it legal for women to go topless in Canada if they wish?
She needs to be in Ontario. We have a law allowing women to be topless. Rarely taken advantage of.
Well what did she think would happen . Hello it’s a public place It’s not a nudist park . 🙄. Anyone else could have gotten arrested for indecent exposure. She’s lucky they only threw her out .
She was Topless.. I feel bad for the wildlife.. they didn’t do anything wrong.. WILDLIFE LIVES MATTER..
Who cares,,,you news Medea seem to having trouble, with news....if she wants to go topless or bottomless,, good for her...but I bet her but would change somewhat if that happened in Northern Ontario haha lol....
She should go to Wreck Beach if she wants to do a topless photo shoot!
Ahh that's horrible. What topless shoot though?
She was banned for not having a permit
FakeNews Have to read the article to find out she did not have a permit for the photoshoot Nothing to do with her being topless It was her and her groups own Ignorance and Negligence about the topic Ignorance of the law is no excuse
Boo hoo
After all the months of following CTV on twitter they finally report something important.
Permit required for a commercial shoot. She didn't have a permit....
Proof or shut your pie hole ...
I thought this is legal in Canada 🤷♀️. It is in ON anyway.
Whatever. Keep stirring the pot.
we've grown used to old, fat topless men. I expect we could get used to topless woman as well
Who really cares about this? Maybe more important items to cover for 'news'...
That's ok won't be missed
I would ban her from the zoo too! Perhaps a horse farm would take her.
I don’t want to be subjected to people’s random nudity. Set nude sites and dressed sites. People can go to the venue they prefer.
It would be allowed in Ontario under 'Gwen's Law' but not sure if BC has the same ruling.
So she's a no name wanna be. You played right into her hands CTV.
Well it is a place where families tend to visit with children maybe that's why
“What are you lookin’ at !?”
That’s a model now Who knew ?
Good !!
They knowingly set up for a professional shoot without permit. Now lieing about it and getting free media to boot. Not fooling this lad.. nope🙄
Haha even if you let her go topless it doesn’t stop breasts from being sexualized thats just human biology. But it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. I say do whatever.
indecent exposure - no nude sun bathing - take your pick
Would this be an issue if she was trans ? I bet not ,and it is legal for biological females to go topless .. it's that pesky equal rights thingy .
For a second there I thought you were gonna say she was banned for not wearing a mask
She was scaring the wildlife.
The Zoo is open!
Ahhh yes exploitation of women. Never gets old. Now waiting for the next article from media that states how society is so sexist towards women.🙄
It's pretty shameful the spokesperson for the park says it's because it was a commercial shoot when the video clearly mentions the toplessness.
This isn’t the UK.
Maybe they didn't like what they saw. 🤮 You cannot unsee things.
I will have a opinion when I see all the photos lol ( feel free to send them to my inbox)
Who honestly gives a shit?
But the fat dude swimming topless can stay?
Is it illegal? I know in Ontario woman are legally allowed to be topless in public
Model ? Where ?
Next! Let's get some relevant news please
Model lol. Not thinking so.
'Model'
get a real job and this wont happen
She’s not a model - she posts lewd images on Instagram.
