The lighting issue is pretty much on the same level as making legally blind Amanda in cycle 3 walk in a dark venue. They knew about each respective condition and tried to get drama footage out of it.

Isabella has epilepsy , the next photoshoot was with flashing lights too.

[@Madkalibyr]

??!! Dude, where is OSHA ffs

[@LibraInSeattle]

I have epilepsy. I can’t imagine trying to be a model or actor and have to deal with the constant flashing of lights. I have stopped going to concerts because they have so many strobe lights these days. (I sound old lol “these days”).

[@shutupnvibe]

It’s sad that people don’t even care to accommodate those with epilepsy. I don’t even have it but man flashing lights give me such a headache & dizziness every time I see them. I couldn’t imagine having epilepsy & being randomly thrown off by them.

[@Topmodelhk]

I don’t know why Isabella would even try out casting and antm approved her into the show. It’s just unbelievable

[@funnyshuttler]

Lethal

[@PhoenyxV]

A really simple accommodation that doesn't give an "unfair advantage" for Isabella is to just... turn off the strobes for her walk. They're not adding anything extra to the show. Heck, turn them off for all the models, they're pointless and besides epilepsy (which isn't something to be taken lightly) they can trigger migraines and a lot of other problems. I frequently have trouble with strobes at concerts, they make my eyes hurt and I usually have to put my head down and/or close my eyes during segments of shows that are using them.

[@jennianking84]

I was aware of some of the issues with ANTM when I watched it as a teenager, but coming back to it as an adult is horrifying.

[@gloriav7646]

As someone with epilepsy, this is insane and they were begging for a lawsuit. She could have totally had a seizure and then 100% they would have blamed it on her. "You should've said no" etc. This is strictly why I started putting my health first. You have to identify who has your interests in mind and those who care so little that they will risk your health.

[@elizabethmaturin8107]

Did anyone else catch that Jessica‘s earrings in the photo are basically what they made the other girl takeoff saying they look like bracelets????

[@yafelleon]

I'm watching this episode now, and as soon as I saw the picture I was like... wait a minute... rewinded to double check and ran to the comments to see if anyone noticed hahaha I feel seen now, thanks! 😂❤

[@alisong799]

exactly! they criticize the girl during panel for her fashion choice but they were literally part of the photoshoot 😭 such hypocrisy I can't with this show

[@sashatheelf]

The point is when you're going on castings you should look like a blank slate, it's not that the fashion is ''bad,'' it's that the designer has to be able to picture you in their own styling without the distraction of something else. So at most you could dress in a style similar to the designer you're seeing, but there's a reason that a casting outfit is usually just a tank top, jeans, and heels. -Former model of 15 years

[@danielazafra4137]

I saw that too !! Makes you think if they actually put things on them just to “re style” them

[@OyayoTheStorm]

I'm sure that, in the application process, they asked about neurodiversities, and how it could affect one's performance, and they might've used that to ruin her chances. I, personally, found that disgusting. I lost a niece to a seizure from a malfunctioning bathroom light, so I was So hurt for her

[@jaybee4118]

@@nellrose4699neurodiversity as a term was only just around around then, but it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t know. Epilepsy was very much a known thing, and the thing most people knew about it was blinking lights can cause seizures.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing 🤍

[@mrobertson8056]

I'm a burn survivor. It's been almost three years since it happened but I still have to deal with it. It was the worst thing I have ever gone through. I was 22 when it happened so I can't imagine how awful it was for a child. I know if I saw a model with scars like mine, it would make my day. I would love that brand. So yeah that's definitely messed of them

[@keltzy]

Honestly, putting Isabella into that situation upset me far more than Tahlia. The execution was questionable, but I can at least see the point they were trying to make with Tahlia and the challenges she could face in the industry. But there is zero justification for knowingly putting Isabella into a situation that could trigger her epilepsy. There are a lot of dubious moments on the show which I give a pass because it's (in hindsight, at least) obviously trying to be an entertaining TV show before anything else. That was not one of those moments.

[@OyayoTheStorm]

And for Tahlia to feel bad about her skin...? The way this show plays on one's insecurities, as if it's to... Make them stronger, or to break them to eliminate themselves...? U-u-ugh... It's heartbreaking, Especially when hers was from a childhood accident/trauma

[@shawnswint1521]

This is Why I sat out this Year's Victoria's Secret Show Revival, The Moment it was Announced that Tyra was gonna be in it, I was like "Nope, Not Watching"!!!

[@LibraInSeattle]

I had to fast forward through the strobe lights because it will trigger my seizure disorder. I feel bad for Isabella having to walk the runway with the flashing lights. This beautiful lady with should never be made to feel bad about her scars. This show is so problematic.

[@ScorpionTDC]

My understanding is that when an actual designer is featured for the challenge, they get the final say on who wears what. I suspect there was a dissonance between production - who handles casting - wanting to feature Tahlia (they very much made her scars her defining storyline of the season and regularly chose to not cover them/allow Tahlia to talk about them) and the designer - who controls the outfits - not feeling the same way. Still pretty poor treatment of Tahlia and unfair, but that’s why the show’s handling seemed contradictory. Different people were making those calls. The Isabella stuff is way awful. Production knew she had Epilepsy before that runway show; they weren’t taken by surprise. Either they put the strobe lights there hoping for an incident at her expense (absolutely terrible) or they simply didn’t care enough to make any type of accommodation for basic safety (not any better).

[@LethalLemonLime]

Jessica said it wasn't even the first photo shoot. I'd believe what you're saying if that wasn't the case.

[@robotek148]

The naughtiest is the most covered? The good girl was more exposed? Make it make sense.

[@jadebel7006]

Allison was actually semi-famous before the show as one of the very first Internet memes ,she was known as 'creepychan' a fourchan meme, I only heard about it recently

[@thechancan5254]

She was also an artist on deviantART.

[@aliselynch]

I will say, for the girls that would be watching Tyras talk show and top model back in the day, were likely also watching teen girls become famous on Teen Moms, too. And where i grew up, rural small town, girls were taught to get married and have babies asap, teen moms were not unusual here. I wanted to be one, too, and only was lucky it didnt happen when i was 16. I could see Tyra doing a survey-- the respondents were young girls watching reality tv, and back in those days, teen girls were taught very different ideals-- her survey likely would come up with a large number of girls hoping for that.

[@ShindigEats]

"16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" were popular reality TV shows around this time, so perhaps girls were being negatively influenced.

[@danakscully64]

What's funny though is teen pregnancy rates went down, not up, thanks to Teen Mom. I know I watched that show and it discouraged me from having kids young. Their lives were miserable.

[@selphaenal.8489]

ANTM is borderline predatory towards some models. This show is disgusting for how they treat some of the models. Its definitely clear they choose some models purely to have a "punching bag" in a way. Its abysmal the way they treat her regarding scars she had no control over getting. She did not cause those burn scars, or do it on purpose. Having STROBE lights around an epileptic person is beyond cruel.

[@CeltycSparrow]

I absolutely agree with Tahlia. Tyra CHOSE HER as one of the finalist girls, because she supposedly saw potential in her as a model....that she was BEAUTIFUL. Tyra MUST HAVE KNOWN about her scars before she was chosen. So WHY choose her and give her this honor and then immediately cover her up in layers when ALL the other models are flaunting their beauty? What message is that giving to Tahlia? Or for that matter, ANY woman who has flaws that they feel insecure about? Tahlia has a POWERFUL story. She is a BURN survivor. She could INSPIRE so many others who are also burn survivors or suffer from physical or other handicaps. Instead, Tyra makes a MOCKERY of this poor girl. By covering her scars, Tyra is saying "You are NOT beautiful enough or worthy enough to be respected as a model in my game. We have to hide you." And then she HUMILIATES this poor girl at panel for pointing it out. Shame on Tyra. That is VERY BAD FORM. I actually find it VERY hypocritical and insulting that Tyra tells Sandra to take her scarf OFF because "she is covering her lusciousness" but yet THEY COVERED Tahlia's "lusciousness" on purpose.

[@cd55896]

The earrings Aminat was wearing that "look like bracelets" (23:54) are the same ones Jessica had on in the photoshoot (25:55).

[@Notboredd]

There’s a rumor about the purpose of the lights on the runway, and it was to cause some kind of drama and since they didn’t see any effect on the girl, they eliminated her.

[@alexandrakopko]

Forcing a girl with epilepsy to walk a show with strobe lights *should be a criminal offense*. That quite literally couldve killed her.

[@davidhartono24]

Something tacky from every first photoshoot started from cycle 7 until cycle 15. Cycle 7 = Model stereotype Cycle 8 = Political issue Cycle 9 = Smoking side effect Cycle 10 = Homeless photoshoot Cycle 11 = Voting for election Cycle 12 = Childhood Games with Teen Mom issue Cycle 13 = Childhood photoshoot Cycle 14 = Nude photoshoot with wearing one item from the mannequin Cycle 15 = Teen Bullying

[@lounakin]

I have epilepsy and I can tell you that it's the sort of condition you need to disclose in a lot of places. At the gym they ask you, at the doctors, in amusement parks, they even warn you at the cinema, on video games... these girls ABSOLUTELY filled out a form when they came in and the organisers know full well she has epilepsy. This is insane.

[@Look_look_at_my_cats]

I'm not epileptic, but I still hate flashing lights. Strobing of any kind, even sunlight through the trees while driving... makes me nauseous. It's only gotten worse with age. I'm in my 40s now and I can't handle it (or shaky cam, for that matter. My personal nightmare!). So many people have issues with strobe lights, I don't know why anyone would want to utilize them during a fashion show. It's such a liability, really!

[@Judah98]

Of course they covered her up on purpose. They love to torture these models any chance they get. SICK! 😮

[@LoXena]

Using someone disability to make views should be illegal.

[@NayaBarcelona]

I just hated how this show expected these girls to be Naomi Campbell right out the gate! Even after watching a few seasons, they gave little to no coaching to them as well. I still don’t even know what the expectations were by the end of this all. 😂😂😂

[@Gingersnaps1978]

Allison is probably my favorite contestant on all of ANTM

[@BeautyMonster1000]

As someone who has plenty of scars myself, the way they treated Tahlia offends me an insane amount, honestly. If someone has that amount of confidence and self love while having scars, it's really screwed up for others to try and ruin it by pointing out their differences to them and then covering them up so others won't see them. They just wanted her to feel like she should be ashamed of having scars, as if the scars were her fault. Disgusting.

[@joylove2781]

They did Tahlia dirty! Even if they wanted to cover her scars for the runway challenge so they would not distract from the clothing they could have put her in a long-sleeve sheer ankle-length colorful dress that matched the other girls.

[@annedavis3340]

but that would require a fashion designer designing fashion! Why would they be expected to be able to come up with a NICE outfit that's not an off-the-rack pants suit. /s Made me less impressed with the designer, but not for the reason the designer expected...

[@alexiskaho]

Did anyone else notice that at 25:55, the earrings in the picture look so much like the ones that Tyra made Amina take off because she didn’t “look like a model?!”

[@kattapilla]

Yessss!

[@brico9785]

I came to say the same thing

[@LethalLemonLime]

I'm sorry but that was hilarious. I literally died. I'm sure Tyra noticed but didn't want to say anything because she didn't want to call attention to her hypocrisy.

[@minimalcat1987]

Jessica! At the time, Teen Mom was a huge tv show. It was madly popular and unfortunately did encourage a bunch of kids to make terrible choices 😆 family vloggers of today like JessFam are failed Teen Moms who made a youtube channel because they couldn't go the TV route. This is all too true and I hate it 😅 Tyra might be right about her survey at the time...

[@danakscully64]

Overall though, the show contributed to a DROP in pregnancy rates in teenagers. I know it discouraged me from having kids.

[@raejinssi]

All the other issues aside, the way they portrayed the innocent little good girl vs bad girl concept was so weird to see. idk, might just be me.

[@sidlazzar1002]

No it’s honestly creepy. Like wtf

[@roeroe416]

She actually did blatantly address it SOME DESIGNERS are going to show it, where SOME DESIGNERS are going to hide it because they don’t like the look of scars what more was Tyra supposed to say she gave a black and white straight to the point explanation. This was a designer that didn’t want talea burn scars to show so it was hidden plain and simple. The fashion industry especially then was NOT COOKIE CUTTER, BFF, let’s make everyone happy. And talea got a REAL LIFE INDUSTRY LESSON

[@Mel__21]

Exactly this! I don’t get why she kept bringing it back to Tyra like it wasn’t her runway show. Some will like it others won’t that’s the reality.

[@jennifershepherd2145]

Tyra doesn't want anyone else to succeed.

[@jadebel7006]

Actually wanting to be a 'teen-mom' actually was a trend in the early 2010's believe it or not ..not just in the U.S, the UK n AUS too

[@jaybee4118]

And before “teen-mom” was a thing. I can remember girls in my British school in the 80s who wanted, and/or did, drop out of school and become a mum at 15/16/17. For some it was all they thought they were here to do. It wasn’t anything religious either. Girls were often not encouraged to want to do more, or expect more.

[@vampskeldragon]

The idea of girls growing up too fast and wanting to be adults isn't uncommon, and especially wasn't during this cycle of Top Model back then, Jessica (you have to remember this was still in the early 2010's, so it's not fair to judge it by 2020's vision). It's not right obviously, but it is true. And regarding Tahlia's situation, Tyra DID address it blatantly and clearly. The designer for this fashion show didn't want to flaunt her scars, hence why she was in a different outfit. It could have been done better yes, but still. Unfortunately her scars would've negatively affected her modeling career, ANTM mistreatment or not. The industry nowadays is a bit more inclusive here and there, but even so her having scars would be an immediate turn off for many clients and agencies today, let alone back then. 😕

[@LethalLemonLime]

Jessica wasnt alive in the 2010s apparently

[@vyvii3293]

This shoot is awful. "Girls are growing up too fast" so... they infantilise grown women and tell them to look gorgeous. Also the teen mum bashing is awful. I was a teen mum, so was my mym and grandmum... and despite the challenges we've all raised emotionally intelligent, competent, confident and kind kids. Teen parents just need more support initially and encouragement. It's utterly vilified these days, but when my mym and gran were teen mums it was normal...

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

😂 I loved Zenon! And yeah…this was a weird concept….🤣 like WHAT?!

[@jenneli314]

So many thoughts. Honestly Tahlia and Nijah were not dissimilarly dressed, they were both oddly office-chic compared to the others with blazers more coverage on the bottom, but Nijah was at least in the same color scheme. Tahlia's clothing does look thrown together, which makes me wonder if it's actually a sizing snub. Isabella, girl they are sabotaging you and literally trying to k*ll you. They are asking for a lawsuit, and to be honest, are camera flashes really a good idea either? What was up with the lighting on that shoot? How did they decide who got actual daylight and who just got shot in the dark? Have you ever noticed how much they focus on the models looking "clean and like a model" and blank slates during judging and then absolutely mess them up for photo shoots? How are they supposed to know how they're supposed to look "as a model" when you stick giant bows on their heads while modeling?

[@Pinkrosesandagraveyard]

You have to remember that this aired when Teen Mom was super popular on MTV, and it did make a lot teen girls want to become teen moms. Now they want to be OF models.

[@raceytray3963]

There’s no way that pant suit was in the designer’s collection. ANTM production picked out something to put Talia in. The least they could have done was pick out something that fit with the rest of the collection. But they chose a basic frumpy pant suit to make her feel/look uncomfortable.

[@kristam1240]

In earlier seasons of Top Model, the girls would be called out for not wanting to do a photoshoot showing too much skin. Now Tahlia wants to show skin, but they instead put an entire body suit on her? Clearly theres alot more Top Model judges are covering up than scars 🤔

[@natacha2418]

This show was a toxic cesspool of body shaming, racism, passive aggressiveness, mindless makeovers, psychological terror and blatant bullying. The abuse of the girls was horrific and insane.

[@SoCalJellybean]

And the SECOND one of the models actually tried to give the extras some direction, Tyra and her minions would’ve been all over that, screeching, “you don’t run these shoots!! How dare you tell the extras what to do!” 🙄

[@Itsmebik]

Thank you Jessica for serving so many ANTM contents lately. You always make my day :)

[@drewettgreen3688]

The lights thing isn't first or last time they did something like this. In cycle 3 they made legally blind model walk dark venue and in cycle 22 there was deaf model and one of the photoshoots was completely in dark with only spoken instructions.

I can't believe that girl felt she couldn’t say no to walking under strobes despite her epilepsy. Half way walk was so strange but i guess she got noticed.

I've been saying this for years about ANTM trying to trigger her health when people talk about how problematic the show is

[@julia.e.carpenter]

Isabella was eliminated first. I wonder another factor of elimination is because of due to being a flashing lights photoshoot and she having epilepsy, they wouldn’t want have problems with her?

[@dariakey5318]

If that was the case, they wouldn't cast her in the first place, IMO.

[@rdhaley96]

I wouldn't be surprised if they planned the lights photoshoot specifically with her in mind (for the drama ofc), but then a higher-up stepped in and said they'd have to send her home since it's too big a safety risk for her to do that shoot.

[@robotek148]

Absolute L0Lz "Talia, y, your gonna have to be naughty". It sounded like the designer just wanted to get the uncomfortable, upcoming situation over with. But she was all 'cheery' with lsabella.

So to bring some contents in the “teen mom” topic, at this time, there were shows on MTV and other networks showcasing teen moms. While the show was suppose to discourage teen pregnancy, the girls on the shows became quick celebrities and on the cover of magazines and it almost had girls “inspire” to be a teen mom as well.

[@robsgamingchannel2077]

Dodgeball in middle school was so tramuatic as in out tiny mussionary school we had to do it with competitive older boys in grades above us. My little sister and i would let the ball touch out legs ans go sit down to avoid in the face shots. Yes they had to tell them not to hit people in the face. I remember one boy in the 9th grade i was in the 5th would get hit. Sit out them come back and hit people again when the P.E teacher was not looking

[@aarondavis2258]

And not to be in defense of Tyra, but she is right regarding the industry & Tahlia's burns. The industry at the end of the day are going to do what they feel is going to sell product. There's some designers who book models that may have scars or other conditions such as Vitiligo (shoutout to Winnie Harlow). And then there's designers that will cover it up as much as possible. Thankfully the industry is evolving & moving more towards diversity in all aspects.

[@zydration3538]

It helps to not look like an average random person tbf. Scars or not, there was nothing model about this poor girl and she shouldn't have been used like that. Same with Isis. Like they can't make the statement with someone that could realistically work as a model?

That's not how the modeling industry works. Instead they just wouldn't hire her. They wouldn't hire someone and then put them in random clothes that aren't even from the same collection.

@@LethalLemonLime I didn’t say anything that you typed. I said, now they feature models that have skin conditions, especially since the modeling industry has shifted to internet fame.

11:43 oh wow, I thought I remembered how messed up the photo shoots were but I did NOT 😮

[@renatacuriosa]

I was a huge fan of ANTM up to cycle 19. The first 8 cycles I have watch multiple times. Yes, there is a lot o manipulation of the girls to get more audience, after all it’s a reality show. The Thalia girl, to me , was a whiner! She didn’t had the body to be a model at the times, she was not thin nor plus size, so she had to be better in everything else. She went to the show to get attention and made a lot of drama. Just like the “unusual” girls in other cycles. Another thing, when you joined the show at cycle 12, you must know how to walk the runway! It was the most popular model competition back then, so you have to be ahead of the game, bc ANTM is not a modeling school. I dislike Tyra more than I can describe, but I have no doubt about the survey on the teen pregnancy issue. There was a ridiculous and popular show called “Teen Mom” that put teen pregnancy in a pedestal. Anyhow, I enjoy your videos and agree with your comments! The show was an emotional torture of those girls, but so is the modeling career.

[@erinnicole3170]

6:41 i highly doubt she was making that face at her. I bet they edited afterwards to look that way. Because youre absolutely right. Nothing she did warranted that expression.

[@breonacalvert]

Honestly, it looks like the lights were added post-production. They don’t look like they were a part of the show originally. As I rewatch the series, I can better point out flashes of light that do not appear to originate from the scene. The photo shoot with the baby jaguar is an example. The flash looks fake and added in. In reality, the flash would have aggravated it and made it even more unstable than it turned out to be for the shoot. This runway show, I believe, had lights but I don’t think they were as extreme as what we are seeing right now. ETA: the intensity seems exaggerated. I believe the flashes were there but they look overly done on some angles.

You are not alone in your disgust Jessica. ANTM was never a legitimate show about modelling IMO, but rather a cheap "reality show" just like so many others. 🙄

It looks like they went to a store and purchased a pant suit to put her in before the runway. it doesn't look like it was designed by the same person or belongs with in the show.
