Bad Santa? Boy Claims He Was Body Shamed By St. Nick
by John Le, WLOS
FOREST CITY, N.C. (WLOS) - It's practically straight out of a "Bad Santa" movie.
A North Carolina mother wants the local Santa Claus fired after saying things that put her 9- year-old son in tears.
On Saturday, an other- wise jolly time on Main Street led to a holiday moment the boy would like to forget.
"I went out and started crying, because I just felt so bad," Anthony Mayse said of his conversation with Father Christmas.
"When he got done, he said, 'Lay off the ham- burgers and french fries,'" he recalled. "And that really just disre- spected me, and I felt awful."
"This year we thought it'd be fun to take the carriage ride and let the kids ice skate and go see Santa," mom Ashley said.
Meeting St. Nick should have been the kicker, not the heartbreaker.
According to Anthony and his mother, he sure didn't act like a saint.
"He acted like he didn't
want to be there to do the job," Ashley said.
Anthony was asking for an iPod Touch and a drone for Christmas when the family said he was body shamed.
"Very rude. I've never seen anything like it," Ashley told News 13. "What set me off is when he started crying."
The polar opposite to tears of joy.
"I was just mind-blown," Ashley said. "I wished a million times that we never went."
"It affected me so bad that I was crying until I went to bed that night,"
Anthony said. "And I want to say to him, 'You don't want to disrespect a 9-year-old. Even though what shape and size you are, it doesn't matter.'"
He later tore up his pic- ture with Mr. Claus, who's employed by Forest City to spread good cheer.
The town manager said Santa had apologized to both the supervisor and the Mayse family. He wouldn't tell
News 13 whether disci- plinary action was taken.
"When he went to apolo- gize to me, he didn't even mean it," Anthony said.
Instead of a letter to Santa, Ashley would pre- fer the city send a "pink slip."
"I'm hoping he's fired, because I don't want any kid feeling like he did Saturday," she said. "I mean, it destroyed him."
They'd like the Forest City Santa to "lay off" the insensitive comments. For now, no more St. Nick for them.
"Never again," Ashley said.
"I'd probably go to the mall, but not Forest City again," Anthony said.
