A model was humiliated when staff at a conference center refused to let him use the bathroom after his stoma bag started to leak.

Blake Beckford, 36, from the United Kingdom was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis—a form of chronic bowel disease—in 2003. He underwent ileostomy—a surgery where the lowest part of the small intestine is brought through a small opening in the belly—in 2013 and was fitted with a stoma bag on the outside of his body to collect body waste, according to his personal website.
