Whoa There: Bali spa applicant alleges her pubic hair was plucked out without her permission during job interview

Intending to apply for a job, a woman reportedly instead became a victim of harassment. 

Identified by her initials EY, the 24-year-old woman says she was trying to work for a spa on Jl. Danau Poso, Denpasar, according to Tribun Bali.

But when EY went into the spa on Monday around 1 pm, the interviewer/job trainer wanted to show her some hair removal techniques, East Denpasar Police Commissioner Nanang Prihasmoko told Tribun. 

However, the demo went weird when the trainer (identified by initials CV in reports) allegedly moved to remove EY’s pubic hair—in front of other people. 

Shocked, EY says she resisted and reported the incident to the police. 

When questioned by the police, CV says she was just doing typical training. But reports say police didn’t really buy this answer and are continuing to investigate the incident.
