Following the incident, MizCaramelVixen said she was embarrassed and ashamed and felt she’d been singled out because of her size, noting several other women in costume not being told to cover up. After posting her experience on social media, a woman from Reed named Lacey found MizCaramelVixen and offered apologies as well as coupons for a t-shirt and pint glass. She did not redeem them. We reached out to both her and Reed for comment to find out more about the story from both sides. MizCaramelVixen told us, “I have never been harassed at any conventions before or even during Free Comic Book Day, this was my first experience. It was very painful, I hope to NEVER feel like that again.”
