Summer Robert, 28, claims to have the biggest boobs in the UK, and she has a condition called Macromastia, which is the medical term for having abnormally large breasts. According to major media sources, Macromastia can lead to various complications like chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, bra strap grooving and difficulty carrying out daily activities. Travel poses practical challenges for Robert, as she struggles to fit on planes due to her breast size.
She has spent more than £20,000 on business class upgrades over the past two years to accommodate her physical needs. According to Daily Mirror - News, Summer Robert described that she cannot fly economy because her breasts prevent her from using tray tables, fitting into bathrooms, and avoiding accidental contact with other passengers. Robert is from Glasgow, Scotland, and is a former restaurant manager with over 200,000 followers on Instagram.
Men will stare, sometimes approach. In fact, a few weeks ago I was at the airport and got approached by two different men. I had to call my friend as an excuse to walk away from them. One asked me to come to Berlin with him and the other was a worker and said if he 'buys me a Prada bag, will he get all of this?', and pointed to my boobs.
She faces social stigma and harassment, including being publicly humiliated, accused of exposing herself, and having drinks thrown at her by women while working in the service industry. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Summer Robert described that women often tell her to cover up, say she doesn't have the body for the clothes she's wearing, and call her a sl*t or attention seeker. She was kicked out of a popular theme park as a result of her breasts, and men stare at and approach her, with examples including being asked to go to Berlin and being offered a Prada bag in exchange for her breasts.
According to Daily Mirror - Main, Summer Robert described enduring catcalls wherever she goes. In daily life, Robert measures a size 30R, and finding clothes that fit is tough for her. Her breasts are only going to get bigger, and cleaning the house is a hard task due to the weight of her chest.
Women stare, judge, tut and say mean things. I’m just used to the attention at this point so now, whenever women say things, I just compliment them and kill them with kindness back. More often than not they’ll say to my face to 'cover up', tell me I don’t have the body for the clothes I’m wearing [and] some will call me a sl*t, attention seeker. I get a lot of disgusted looks from women mainly.
It is unknown what specific medical treatments are available for Macromastia and whether Robert has pursued any, or how exactly she was kicked out of the theme park and the official reasons given.
The lack of space in economy means I cannot do it. Even something so simple like putting the tray table down to eat my dinner is so difficult. It doesn’t go down all the way. I always end up with the person next to me touching my boobs, and it makes both of us uncomfortable. I need to get business or I won’t be able to eat my dinners on a plane or I'll be touched by another passenger.
Flying has become a huge struggle for me, even little things like getting into the bathroom. The door is so tiny, my boobs always push up against it, the tray table won’t fold down because my boobs are too big. Trying to get my bag up into the baggage compartment is a struggle because, if someone is sitting on the chair below, I will 100% touch them with my boobs on accident. I can’t fly economy because of all of these reasons and more.
