Don't mess up your hustle Queen.
There's no reason her bag should stop because of this.
Especially when there are way worse people still on TV and behind the scenes.

Jay Manuel recently spoke on the "Switch Ethnicity" shoot.
not "empowerment"
Tyra is NUTS :plzstop:
and very interesting that Jay Manuel is Black/White
I always thought he was like some type of Indian or like Middle Eastern or maybe Mesitzo or something else. he's kinda ambiguous

QuoteTyra and I, whether it was in L.A. at her house or my house in New York, would lie on the bed and dream up ideas. I was always taking her lead, and quite genuinely, when she started the show, she really did want to find the next top model. And she really did want everything rooted in something she had done. We would come up with an idea and then she would say to me, "And you do you." No one from production would tell me what to do on those early shoots.
By season three, the show had become a thing, but I still felt like there was a level of integrity to what we were doing. At that time we were bringing in sponsors for the shoots and it was my job to work with product integration. Season three was the introduction of CoverGirl. People make the assumption that, "Well, Tyra was a CoverGirl, so of course CoverGirl came on board." But we had to go through a formal pitch process that Tyra was not involved with.
By cycle four, there was no more of that intimate Tyra and I coming up with creative ideas. There were big meetings and there were all these asks. Then there was the famous race-swapping shoot. I remember my heart dropping out. I was like, "There's no way I can do this." Because of my last name, people think I'm Spanish. I'm actually biracial and my parents are from South Africa and grew up under apartheid.
I remember calling my mom and saying, "I don't want to do this shoot. How can we put someone in blackface?" Tyra told me she was doing it from a place of empowerment and said, "Don't worry, you won't wear this, but you have to go to work," because I asked to be excused from that shoot and they would not allow it.
People thought as the creative director, it was my choice. I had to walk around and wear it. And as a person of color with an extended family who still lives in South Africa, it was not easy for me, and I just didn't know how long I could survive in that environment. But I had a TV contract at that time, and you can't break those very easily. So I did the best that I could while riding out the cycles I had left on my contract.
I will be perched and tuned in
the trailer of the book he wrote
im actually kinda confused...does Jay like Tyra or doesn't he? :uhh:
he talks about how they're friends and then reposts mess that clearly depicts her in a very unflattering way
maybe they just have a complicated friendship
this Book trailer is shady af. the actress he picked tho >>>>
she's givin me Kenya teas
swipe to the last slide to watch it
https://www.instagram.com/p/DUBHn0WDnhz/

sjnndjsjndsjndsjnsdjndjnjnjnjnjn
that actually makes sense
it could be the straight hair. not sure if its naturally straighter or not
but i dunno. just his appearance in general. it gives me Indian/Middle Eastern teas.
I always thought he was Latino
im stalking his page now
sdjsnjdnssd
and yeah his South African dad kinda has that look too.
i think his father may be South African "Coloured" like Tyla's family.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DTF34FUjoG7/
just went to the Wiki and it's def Coloured
dunno why i didn't just go to Wiki first to begin with instead of doing light detective work.
sdnjsjndjndsjnsdjndsjnsdjnsdjndsjnsdjnjdnsjsjsjsj
this makes a lot more sense to me.
QuoteManuel was born in Springfield, Illinois, to a mother of Italian and Czech descent and a South African father of mixed Cape Malay - also known as Coloured- descent.

awwwww
im on season 3 of "jays talk" and they're talking about Andre Leon Talley releasing his book
this was like a bit over a year before he died
i still hate how the last couple years of his life was for him.
rest well king :stressed:

they're saying Tiffany didn't pass psych evaluation on season 3 and that's the real reason she didn't make it that time
tyra had every intention to pick her the next time around cuz she "saw something in her" but encouraged her to go "get help" first and come back
omg mr. jay is throwing shade at Tyra
insinuating she could spot a bully in the other gorls' behavior, cuz shes a bully herself
he stay throwing rocks and hiding his hands with kwee
"am not comin for ha! am not comin from ha!", soon as the gorls call him out in the live comments
:ummwhat:
I feel like we've heard too much about this for her to be coming back like its cool and i forgot this was coming
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUJa_rlEl80/
I'm excited about this tho
