After all, the site is for beautiful people and maintains that it’s “the sexiest website in the world.” And last week, they made an effort to make sure that holds true by expelling 5,000 members who had apparently gained a little holiday weight.
“Five thousand members have been let go,” said Miki Haines, a spokeswoman for the site told ABC News.
