Caitlyn Jenner Denied Service in Beverly Hills Reportedly Over Ripped Jeans

Caitlyn Jenner was denied service at a popular Beverly Hills restaurant all because, she says, of her ripped jeans.
Monday on Instagram Story, the “I Am Cait” star wrote a fiery message slamming the Beverly Hills Hotel after one of its establishments, presumably the Polo Lounge, reportedly would not seat her for lunch because of her attire.
“---- your horrible service for not letting me have lunch with this tiny rip in my jeans,” the Olympian wrote over a picture of said pants.
“Shame on you. Disgusting. I have been a patron for decades. No longer,” she added, tagging the Dorchester Collection, the hotel’s parent company.

On Monday, a source told TMZ that Caitlyn was caught off guard by the denial because she was dressed in full hair and makeup. Additionally, the insider says Caitlyn’s jeans were more distressed than “ripped.”
The source also told the outlet that while the restaurant was not enforcing its “no photos” policy, it was apparently enforcing its dress code.
In a statement, a representative for the Polo Lounge told TMZ, “Please see our dress code policy which is stated on our website and provided to every guest when they make a reservation with us.”
On its website, the restaurant states, “At the Polo Lounge, we encourage you to dress for the occasion, so we ask that you refrain from wearing casual hats, ripped denim, crop tops, nightwear, swimwear, and men’s sleeveless shirts.”
Since 1996, the Beverly Hills Hotel has been run as part of the Dorchester Collection belonging to the Sultan of Brunei.
Back in 2019, celebrities including George Clooney called for a boycott of the hotel and other luxury properties owned by the nation island of Brunei following the instatement of religious laws that punish adultery and homosexuality with death by stoning.
“Every single time we stay at or take meetings at or dine at any of these nine hotels we are putting money directly into the pockets of men who choose to stone and whip to death their own citizens for being gay or accused of adultery,” Clooney wrote in a March 2019 essay for Deadline.
In a statement to People at the time, the Dorchester Collection distanced itself from the Brunei laws.
“Dorchester Collection’s Code emphasizes equality, respect and integrity in all areas of our operation, and strongly values people and cultural diversity amongst our guests and employees. Inclusion and diversity remain core beliefs as we do not tolerate any form of discrimination,” it read.
