or pedos

[@evab.6240]

It's not that risky if they have a whole camera crew following them lol

[@carmencapa6945]

"I feel bad for the girl maybe she had modeling dreams" ummm the model industry pretty crowded only like 2 percent of models make it. Most of this girls "with beauty with a twist" dont make it

[@springtime1009]

The mother at the begining of the video who refused them to recruit her daughter is the real winner.

[@hannahkathryn304]

Couldn't be closer to the truth!

[@kr3642]

Yeah! Maybe the mom was a model and knew how slimy the industry is.

[@joslyn1780]

exactly

[@leslieangela6217]

yess!!

[@napnap7768]

True

[@WickedNPC]

The mother who turned them down on the spot did the right thing in my opinion. I would never put my daughter through this crap.

[@bergercookie]

Frida 💯 fact , she wants more for her child than just to be a pretty face in a super shallow industry

[@padmavatimajhi8541]

And the nerve of these creeps saying they feel pity for the girl! There are so many other things to focus on in this life.

[@katehamilton4345]

THANK YOU. Truly. I was never stood up for until I was lying in a hospital bed dying . I missed so many important moments because of anorexia. If someone had told me as a girl I would not be 27 and still fighting every day. You are a good mom

[@jamilgotcher5456]

It's always the ones that say they would never put their daughter through this that have a daughter who is far from model material lol.

[@reno8494]

@@jamilgotcher5456 shut the fuck up , having a pretty face isn't a choice , good looking people deserve a life too!they can become whatever they want just like others , it's stupid people like u who think having a pretty face means you should be a model and crap .I mean why would someone deserve to go trough diets and shit ?screw modeling , study hard and become whatever, people DON'T have the fckn right to control other's future, even parents!so stop being a smart ass and respect other's choices .

[@elaina37]

I literally applaud the mother who said no

[@bergercookie]

Elaina me too ! That would have been me , how was she supposed to know they were real scouts ? They certainly don't look professional. And that's a very strange approach to begin with walking up to random people.

[@rattlesnakechick4085]

[@NaturalElicia]

[@evab.6240]

[@cindysanchez2987]

I'm so glad that mother didn't let her daughter be a model actually. This is a bit sad

[@megk317]

i find it ironic how the model scouts aren't "high fashion looking"

[@megk317]

not saying its a bad think if u aren't "high fashion looking" but they are literally tryna make the girls slim down :((((

[@essence174]

Beth Roger I was thinking the exact same thing!!

[@megk317]

they're promoting s destructive lifestyle such as ed's NOT TO MENTION THEY AREN'T EVEN SPRING CHICKENS THEMSELVES

[@annikennr4686]

Beth Roger They're just people who couldn't make it as models, and in stead make a living of starving young teens. The girls are probably insecure enough about them selves at that age that they don't need anyone to tell them they look too fat, when they actually are unusually skinny.. It's very conserning, and I wish there was an age limit to modeling. Doesn't seem like they realise how much impact they have on their lives.

[@GentleJohn]

Beth Roger not really. you can have a really good eye for potential models but not be very good looking yourself

[@kitanau1270]

The female scout telling them they aren't skinny enough she was fat herself. If anything she's the one who needs to drop the pounds

[@blinktwiceforyes4820]

Kitana Uetz Wtf? Are you stupid. She work for a modeling agency she’s not selling weight watchers - yes it’s sad but think about your apples to oranges comparison

[@kwii22789]

Uh just like how some coaches in the NFL are overweight men? They are paid for their mind not physical attributes just like model scouts. They tell their players to lose weight and exercise all the time as well.

[@사랑스럽다]

She’s not the one planning to become a model, yes the industry can be difficult but they have to be honest for the standards up to each agencies choice.

[@johnootes]

yes!!

[@gabriellarodriguez5275]

[@sangshasha9586]

because her job is to discover new star, she doesnt need to have a model figure to do that

[@zjzj6800]

The model scouts are scumbags. They are normally fat and ugly, how ironic!

[@TheM0nsterX]

bitchass

[@sopranosd]

So this guy thinks it's weird that a mother protected her children from two weird looking people who randomly approached them in a shopping mall. He needs to get a clue.

[@elenagalanaki2116]

Certainly!

[@laureljade3476]

My great aunt was chosen to be a model and as soon as she was told that she would have to lose at least 25lbs my great grandma said no.

[@bergercookie]

sopranosd 100 💯 exactly what I was thinking! I wouldn't have even stopped for those idiots. They don't look like professionals. They could be child abductors or something how would she know. And it's none of their business why the mom said no , maybe she wants more for her daughter than to be exploited by the modeling industry at such a young age.

[@soniakiwi]

sopranosd Yeah, they could have been human traffickers for all that the mom knew. A mother's intuition is worth gold.

[@jimmyfigueroa1493]

sopranosd that wasn't his point but that's a good counter argument. He probably didn't consider that factor if he really only sees himself as an honest scout. His point was that (if the mom if did trust them as scouts) she instantly rejected a true offer towards a modeling life in front of a little girl who might've had the dream to be a model. Your point is stronger because that would be a natural response for most mothers, I just felt like clarifying, since I for one really didn't realize your side at first on my own. On a side note, I noticed that none of the family's faces were blurred out so I'm guessing they must've gotten their consent to be aired on tv and the scenario we saw was slightly staged. Anyways, they usually don't go around with cameras for their normal day to day.

[@sammiejeanne3846]

those two have the audacity to tell girls they aren't skinny enough?

[@extra_ice_girl]

They're doing their jobs.

[@catseyes2922]

+iamkarenh well, their job stinks.

[@NunyJr]

+Sammie O'Grady uhhhhhh.... thats how its always been.

[@j_0anna]

To everyone who has replied: Yes, they are doing their jobs, but it is ironic that they have the AUDACITY to call freakishly skinny girls TOO fat, when they themselves are the obtuse and overweight ones.

[@extra_ice_girl]

Their weight isn't relevant because they aren't the models. If you want to become a model you need to know what you're signing up for. It isn't a business of being nice.

[@elizabethknight52]

These are the two grossest, creepiest people I have ever seen.

[@lilyteegan]

[@carlasouza5306]

[@StupidIsMySpecialty]

It's so ironic that the 'model scouts' are overweight and far from attractive. Lol

[@diyaravalieva643]

Ironic? lol they're model scouts not models, they don't have to be in shape

[@mybraineatseverything7404]

Not to mention they dress like crap!

[@lisat-wright99]

Allie Cameron They are overweight. Far from attractive is a matter of opinion, and feeds into what you're postured to be against.

[@bttrade6286]

In fact everybody in the modelling industry, the photographer, the make-up artist, the designer, the scouts, the agents, they are all normal weight to overweight and they are all fine and yet they obsess about being thin on their models because that's going to be their revenue stream for the next forever years. They claim the reason why the models need to be so thin is because in case if they need to work in the Asian markets, they need to fit into the clothes in Asia because Asian sizes are several sizes smaller but the truth of the matter is, Asians are naturally smaller because of smaller bones. If somebody is naturally smaller boned, you won't be able to compete with them. You can starve yourself to death and you would still be fatter than them because your bones are bigger. People should really be more relaxed about modelling and treat it like the lottery, if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't, meanwhile eat healthy, be positive and strong and enjoy life!! There is SO MUCH more in life than modelling.

[@melodydrozd4934]

I like how you compared it to the lottery because, in most cases, it won't happen for people.

[@makeup4ever1234]

So here we are watching two overweight people telling people that they need to lose weight. Interesting

[@fabplastic2326]

😂

[@caradecansada8330]

They don't shame just any overweight person and tell them they need to lose weight. They're telling the girls the truth; if they want to be a successful supermodel, then they need to be a specific sizing. That's all they're doing.

[@maisiet3084]

This is horrible, it's creating a whole culture and a whole young girl's life around how thin she is and basically telling them that their body is all that matters. No matter what the model scouts say it's pushing them too far and forcing anorexia on beautiful teenage girls who are at the most self-conscious part of their lives.

[@ArtaherDuron]

Maisie Mouse Get out of here - Just like you have certain requirements to be a professional weight lifting, boxer, Judo Wrestling, Rowing and Jockeys. Modeling is no different....

[@maisiet3084]

ArtaherDuron Yeah, but these girls are only teenagers! Also, those careers focus more on actual health like strength, muscle, etc. Modelling just focuses on how unhealthily skinny you can get and how long you can starve yourself for.

[@ArtaherDuron]

Boxers have been known to Limit their water and food consumption days before a weight-in, Take supplements that make them sweat or use the water out of their body, visit a sauna once a day before the weigh-in and on the day of the weigh-in most of them do not eat or drink. In order to meet the weight requirement - The down side of that is Dehydration. The effects of dehydration are reduced blood-flow to the kidneys and muscles - rapid dehydration can be fatal. Don't get me started on the Jockey's - Because the crap some of them go through would make you sick to your stomach. FYI - You start training to be a Jockey at 16 which is a teenager! As I have stated - They have certain requirements to be a professional in each of these fields - each of them have something about them that are unhealthy.

[@maisiet3084]

ArtaherDuron That doesn't make it okay :(

[@corleeshataylor3734]

Maisie Mouse thank you thank you thank you so much

[@mvagame6278]

I'd love to be a model but if two random people just approached me in the street asking if I wanted to join their agency, the whole thing would reek of a scam to me.

[@gretteepham]

MVA Game I'm pretty sure that happened to me A few years ago I saw this lady at Costco and she was like do u want to be a model in my head I was like this is a scam and if it wasn't I'm still an ugly potato and my parents thought it was a scam too but they agreed so the lady would leave but just the other day I saw the same lady talking to another couple and they gave them the same business card

[@brielle4558]

when they’re a big label looking for models they would never send out ppl to go to random locations. They have the models come to them.

[@ilovetyraandnaomi]

@@brielle4558 not true. Big models have been discovered on the street actually

[@brielle4558]

K. Oj yes they’ve been discovered but not by the big companies. IMG is one of the biggest agencies and they don’t go out looking for them. if they’re a big agency they already have so many people coming to them that going out and looking for potential clients isn’t necessary.

[@ilovetyraandnaomi]

@@brielle4558 Naomi, Linda, Tyra, Kate, Joan , etc etc were all discovered in public places lol

[@jessb1094]

At the same time I understand that models NEED to be thin, but turning someone away for having a 24 inch waist, and telling them they need to improve is insane- Especially since that young female was already SO skinny. She'll head home wondering why she isn't thin enough and starve herself to "get there". It's sad.

[@bolddariimaa9038]

I agree with you. Some models these days are too thin, not all of them. This in turn causes many people to be like them and lower the self esteem. Everybody is unique and different in terms of body and looks. So, we should all embrace it and the thing is to be fit and not be too thin

[@TacosnZorro]

Jess Bella Right? I want to see FIT models - models with muscle. Models with SHAPE. Models that are ACTUAL athletes. Look at the British women's volleyball team. They've got thick, muscular middles and thighs that touch, but they're way healthier than these poor things.

[@jessb1094]

No one is saying that ^. Most of these girls being that tall ARE naturally skinny- but naturally skinny is never enough. Because you have to be toned and have the absolute right measurements. Most natural skinny girls are skinny fat. I have a girlfriend who is 5'10 she is natural skinny but her body wouldn't be considered "model like". That's ok. What I don't like is when they turn these poor girls away after working their butts off.

Arrow Wtf no they don’t for fucks sake - I think it was Adrianna Lima who said that before a show, she will only eat egg smoothies during the week before. Over exercising and underrating is an eating disorder - and it’s why top athletes don’t look like models, because their physique isn’t healthy.

[@12281760]

​@@katysmith1284 Of course models don't look like top athletes, they are suppose to be lean, not buff. They exercise a ton and eat very healthy in order to gain their physique.

Honestly, it's not every modeling agency that does this, just these two. I have a friend who is 5'2 and started modeling just a few months ago and he's walking his first runway in march! I wish every modeling agency had diversity to give an ACTUAL representation of the real fashion world

[@cltyj]

Is your friend walking in high fashion show? As far as I know, commercial and high fashion modeling are two different things and therefore have different standards. If you want to walk for big name disigners you have to be ultra skinny.

[@alexwhite4612]

[@violinplayer101]

Honestly, what the guy model scout says at 1:23 makes me mad...I mean, he's making the mom out to be the bad guy...With all the stuff you hear about the fashion industry being such a competitive environment, and that it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle (ie- being stick thin, no matter what it takes), can you really blame the mom for saying 'no'?? Especially since her daughter is really young. I just wish that people in charge of the modeling companies would encourage their models to be at a healthy weight. Just to prevent the development of eating disorders...It's obviously different if the model just happens to have a higher metabolism, and can't put on weight easily. Hardly ANY women are that thin, (not to mention the fact that the majority of women are not nearly as tall as models tend to be)...They need to gear fashion towards more than one body type, and not just "the 1%"...Also, side note: Neither one of the modeling scouts is exactly in 'peak physical health' themselves, according to the type of models they themselves are looking for.

[@brittneysmith3065]

[@Digmer]

brittney smith tyra banks once told that when she was strugglin with her weight at 19, cause she was "too big" for high fashion, her mom left the room, went back with a pizza and said "SCREW THEM". so she focused on commercial modeling, that requires "fuller" girls. that´s a mom that kid needs. happy means more than whatever that girl is.

[@sammypiexx]

this actually made me cry. im not skinny, definately not and i would kill for a body like that and for them to tell her shes too FAT and she has to lose more weight. What does that say about the rest of us. I just feel so bad for them, because i think they dont see how truly beautiful they are.

[@AlexandraStarrOfficial]

JustinTylerFeelsx They aren't saying that she's fat, their saying that her measurements aren't meeting the standards of the modelling industry. It's the models' job to meet the expectations, just like its a doctor's job to help people. Models aren't just some average people, they need to be different in order to be successful.

[@sammypiexx]

Amina Ibrag if they have to be underweight to be a model its wrong, why cant they have average sized model, because they are too fat to do it, its sad when size 12 is concidered plus size

Beauty is not pain. Beauty is believing in yourself and having enough confidence to pull off *you*. So whoever thinks that there is such thing as a girlish figure, a stick thin representation of their true selves. You don't need to be perfect to be beautiful. Modeling with these barely there girls brings down other's self esteem and I believe that there is still hope for the world if we embrace diversity in modeling or anything for that matter.

[@dancingdisorders6314]

True! Beauty is confidence in who you are not a beauty standard!

[@lilaah7]

I actually pity models. They're more beautiful than 'the rest of us', but at the same time the competition is inhuman (they're mostly treated like cattle except the few who make a name for themselves) and there'll always be a model that's better or younger than them anyway. Plus, when you age (=when you're over thirty)... bye bye career. You'd have to be REALLY down to earth and have options and a personality outside of modeling not to become completely crazy...

[@watauva13]

[@malloryg4251]

"I feel bad for the girl because, maybe in her heart she had a dream to be a model, and her mother just shut it down completely." Actually, the mother is doing a great job by protecting her vulnerable young daughter from predators like these "model scouts." It's so despicable how they hold these beautiful girls to a ridiculously impossible standard, especially considering how THEY look. Telling that one girl to lose weight? Maybe they should take their own advice and see what it's like to starve.

If you had posted a comment on the video itself saying that "all you girls are jelly of them hahaha" I would have ignored the comment. Now you sound like a child who continuously feels the need to say jelly as if it was an actual word in the English dictionary and trying to make me feel bad about myself.

[@sarahs1821]

Um yes. What kind of question is that?

[@AlexandraLucasLeech]

My question is Why do they NEED to be thin. They are models that are selling us a product. Most of the people that will be buying and using that product aren't stick figure skinny. Also do you ever think that because you tell someone "Oh your waist is 2 inches to big, you can't do what you have been training for and dreaming about your whole life." Did you ever think how much that hurts there own self image? I just hope we get to the point were anyone can be a model no matter how short or tall they are and if they are on the bigger size. God I hope this world grows the fuck up and grows some brains.

[@SweetYaoii]

Alexandra Lucas Designers do clothes in one size, and they need to be able to fit into that one size. Fashion shows are usually 6 months before they start selling something, so they start to produce more sizes after a fashion show to see what people like.

[@dynamo3059]

XforeverlongingX if enough of these women chose not to be models due to the standards being too harsh, then modeling agencies would be forced to drop the standards down to a more sane level in order to keep enough models around. as it stands now though they don't seem to have any problem finding enough bodies. to a certain extent, these women are doing this to themselves. i'm not saying that the modeling agencies are blameless, just that it is pointless to argue with them on an emotional level. you have to hit em where it hurts, and that is in their supply of models, and thus their profits.

[@kendahke]

Zoie Knoch not every one is smart, not everyone is rich, not everyone has the same advantages as someone else. Modelling, like medical or law school, isn't for everyone, despite how much they fantasize about being one. It's not unfortunate that someone isn't stick thin--what is unfortunate is if they are ill--physically, emotionally and/or mentally--despite the size they are. That is the only unfortunate thing. Everything else can be worked with and monetized if one is motivated enough to do so and isn't afraid to remain original.

[@soscot]

***** yes, they are naturally tall and quite thin but they dont eat like normal people. in fact some models, when they quit modeling, in particular the catwalk, gain weight(agyness deyn), who knows why? because they quit the strict diet too. there are some exeptions but the majority isnt doing it without sacrifice, "naturally". it's probably more because of the environment("supportive"families, opportunities) that they start to pursue this career and so develop this determination to cure their esthetics and put all efforts to success, how can i say? there are a ton of common people that become icons only because they persevered. but i agree that the scouts are playing with fire, with the lives of these girls. they know some girls could take the wrong way, but they dont take resposibility, and it's wrong because they have to care about giving out the right message and that this is understood from the young girls they involve. one of those quit school and she might not make it in the modeling business, they cant ignore it, every job has to be done with responsibility. ...it's the whole industry that works with a shady, "pressure" atmosphere.. it's not "clean". that's why these scouts are dumb and "evil" and why this selection still makes broken hearts, it's still improvised, sketchy. because the magic, and fascination, come from these secrets.

Designers tend to go for uniform looks during a show. There are plenty of "petite" models in the industry, but you won't see them walking on runways. High fashion will never be anything other than tall and lean. Runway isn't about the model. It's about the clothing/accessories.

@@puppykisses89 Most women who buy the clothes aren't as tall as the models. People always think it can't be done until it is. Rihanna (through savage fenty) has proven that it can be done.

This is evil. Stop doing this to our young women!

[@PsychoLogicalGrl]

Susan Fisher I completely agree!!!!

[@JoyceMomentsx]

Why are the girls and their mothers doing it to themselves! They know what they're in for

[@emmacola3585]

***** yes, but as the agents said, these girls are roughly 1% of the population. Modeling is clearly extremely exclusive. If you have the body shape they want, they go after you, if you don't then who cares? When I was younger, images of models affected my self esteem much more than they do now. I'm 21 and I merely see these girls as people that I don't look like and I could care less because I love my body, I work out, I eat an average amount. There are athletic women who play professional sports, do I feel insecure because I'm not as strong or agile as them? No. Do I tell them the athletic industry is forcing this unrealistic expectation to young girls to be coordinated and fast? No. The best thing to do is find supportive people in your life that will help you feel healthy and happy! :)

[@emmacola3585]

***** No problem! I'm sure it is very psychologically straining to be in this industry, especially as a teenager because most girls are insecure and being told you're not tall enough, not thin enough, etc, it can definitely affect you. At the end of the day, as long as you're healthy and happy, then it doesn't matter what's glamorized in the media. Thank you, I hope you have a good day, too!

I still don't understand why they have to be tall.Short chicks are just as cute and gorgeous

[@SimerversalStudios]

Long legs is why

[@darbywilliams898]

+SimerversalStudios It's not about your body, God made us all beautiful in his eyes, it doesn't matter what others think

[@janikb3538]

***** Youre not fat LOL

[@hztwcvbwiitessqeddvvuztwvb2394]

Because it's a beauty standard!

[@empressmoon7734]

+shutup it's not about being cute and gorgeous.

[@TheAngryCanadianKaren]

"we scout models" and "hey kid want some candy" are synonyms.

this can work as a horror/thriller movie
