Kate Upton reportedly booted from Santa Monica pier for showing too much skin Model Kate Upton reportedly got booted from the famous Santa Monica Pier for flashing too much flesh during a recent photo shoot. The 19-year-old stunner and her photo crew were asked by security officials to leave after Upton suffered a wardrobe malfunction, the San Francisco Chronicle's "Daily Dish" reported Tuesday. 'You wouldn't think that would happen with a one-piece!' Model Kate Upton The Sports Illustrated model was at the popular pier working on a photo shoot for GQ magazine. Her skimpy bathing suit reportedly snapped while she and her crew were taking a break to enjoy a fairground ride. We were on that ride where the seat spins while the actual ride is spinning, and I'm wearing a one-piece. Upton told the newspaper. I'm holding myself, laughing, turning bright red, but a lot of people are watching, so they kicked us out of the Santa Monica pier - it was so embarrassing. You wouldn't think that would happen with a one-piece!
