      Gaslight (verb) - manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity.

      Seriously, he should be blacklisted from ever working in the industry. It's unacceptable that they let that happen. It makes me sad that even here, Keenyah downplays what he did (not that it's her fault, it's a common way of coping that I've done, myself) by saying he was "low key harassing" her. When a person is refusing to give you space, touching you in ways you don't want to be touched, and rubbing their genitals on you... That's high key assault.

I loved the flow of the interview, too. Keenyah had such interesting things to offer, and of course she is very well spoken and her flow in the interview was great too. I hope you guys do follow through with doing something together in the future. It’s clear you have great chemistry and a shared vision for the changes you would like to see in the fashion world. I liked the idea of Keenyah going into model management, however I would be afraid that her talent would be swallowed up by the machine that the industry is.

    I watched that season as a pre-teen and thought Keenyah was gorgeous and the way they treated her weight was heart breaking. I remember them commenting on her stomach and stuff one episode and that night I stood in front of the mirror and noticed all the things they had belittled about her in my body. It was one of the first times I believed I was ugly and fat. I still struggle with my self-image and I remember that moment a lot. I stopped watching the show after that cause it made me cry.

    • @sunlitrain
      @sunlitrain 3 года назад +5

      I feel very sad for your personal suffering on this. I wonder if the people on the show have any idea or care that the message they impacted a generation of young gals with is that their bodies are not acceptable. (Which is really rich, when in some cycles, they do the intimate group talk about eating disorders.)
      It is an abusive industry. I knew it before ANTM. Then ANTM happened, and those that run the show make modeling seem like a gift from the gods. While it IS a big break if you break through… ALL of the worst things you could possibly go through do occur.
      It is its own lucrative, corrupt jungle. Not Tuesday Talks with Tyra.

      And also what tummy??? My god she's perfect. My 8 yo has mentioned calories before and it's terrifying how early that mindset can creep in; I don't even know where she heard it either because my fatass loves donuts. I tell her she's beautiful and the perfect size. I hope you had a good irl female role model because honestly I didn't and felt the same way you did. I was 5'7 and 118 lbs and thought I could be skinnier. It literally warps your mind and perspective. Terrifying

    Amazing video - thank you for doing this! Please look at London from cycle 12, and how they treated her regarding weight gain. I grew up watching ANTM and this was sole destroying, I don't think there's a compilation but there were so many examples of tearing her down for her minimal weight gain (eg: "too big" for modelling but "too small" for plus size, her winning a challenge and getting designer jeans that don't fit her, so she has to give them all away, etc)

    I think that we assume ANTM could've impacted the modeling industry, but I have a feeling it was considered a complete joke in the real industry. It sounds like the models were put through dramatic and unrealistic shoots when photoshoots are not ridiculously extravagant in the real industry. As far as changing the landscape for bullying, assault, and empowerment, 100% they should've protected the contestants instead of trying to break them down.
