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 

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

Tyra 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?
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
