An artist has won support after revealing she was refused entry to a speakeasy bar in New York because she was wearing a real fur coat.

Multimedia artist Alexandra Yvette, from Venice Beach, California recently told her large TikTok following, which is just shy of 2000,000, of her ordeal at a New York bar.

In the 59-second-long clip, which has since amassed over 375,000 views, the vegan content creator said: ‘I got kicked out of a bar in New York for wearing fur.

‘And I feel like I didn’t get the memo that wearing fur in New York is, I guess, really offensive’.
