Model, 24, looking for love claims dating app Bumble rejected her for 'being too hot'

Playboy model Tahlia Paris.

A Playboy model claims she was rejected by Bumble because she is "too hot". Tahlia Paris, 24, from Los Angeles, California, joined the dating app after her last relationship ended as she found out her partner had been married. The Playboy model has been single for four years and was hoping that online dating would be the solution to finding a man to spend her life with.

But instead of date requests, Tahlia claims she received an email from Bumble when her photos were removed by the app's moderators – which the model believes was due to her looking "too hot" as they did "not break" the guidelines. However, in response, the company referenced "shirtless bathroom mirror selfies" and said it "prohibits photos of people indoors wearing swimsuits or underwear".
