ANTM Stylist FIGHTS With Plus Size Model During Photoshoot

They loved to humiliate girls. If they never had the right clothes for Toccara then why even let her be a part of the competition? They can't complain about Toccara's size if they literally let her on the show. Toccara is beautiful and I loved her personality. She has the personality that deserves to have her own tv show.

[@leeleegrace9015]

The fact that they pick Toccarra to be on the show knowing her size only to criticize her for her size every single episode, say that she could never be a top model and make her feel bad about herself is just disgusting to me. Watching all of this back really pisses me off. But Toccarra definitely got the last laugh. It was really nice to see Tyra stand up for her. I just wish you would have done this for other girls on other seasons

Tocarras scream was over exaggerated, but it was because she was trying so hard not to be angry or cry. I wanted to cry for her. Totally unacceptable to not understand as a stylist that you have a plus size model you must accommodate before coming to the shoot. Tocarra had a right to be upset

[@MomLAU]

The skin on your back is pretty thin, and those clips hold layers of fabric.

[@michelledawn7446]

I mean being pinched or pricked does hurt, I don’t blame her for screaming. Plus the stylist was already being condescending.

[@dustyrose5994]

I showed up to the stylist on a movie set for a scene I was in (I am a “plus-sized” actress). They asked for my sizes and measurements ahead of time so I sent them in to them. When I showed up to wardrobe, nothing fit me. I tried on one shirt and they brought the seamstress over and she looked me up and down and said “bless her heart” to the stylist. They ended up finding something resembling a tent for me to wear. I was polite and thanked them for their time. I walked out of that fitting and quit the next day. I’m not saying it’s anyone’s fault that I’m bigger or trying to claim victim status or anything. I’m simply saying that stylists literally have one job and they seem to be consistently unable to do it when it comes to plus-sized actors, men included. It’s not like they didn’t have full body photos, dress sizes, measurements, etc at their fingertips. It ended up costing me a paying gig because my dignity was worth so much more to me. But why does it have to be that way? We’re not asking anyone to accommodate a third arm or two heads, etc. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to have some items at the ready when you have the notice.

[@mamavibetribe8878]

I wasn't plus size not midel thin. Had a similar experience on set because they used vintage clothes but hadn't thought about my chest measurement nor provided appropriate foundation garments. Depending on the brief, it can be difficult for stylists, but this woman had appropriate advance knowledge, modern clothes, and if there was consistently a problem should have been forwarned. Physically harming her for calling the stylist out was wild....

[@donperegrine922]

At the risk of being taken the complete wrong way: Even if you DID have a third arm or a second head to accommodate you SENT THEM the dimensions and location of your extra head ahead of time. If they have the information and resources to do their job, and they don't then what else can be said? They suck at their job. The only excuse I could accept is if the clothing which the shoot needed was SO HYPER SPECIFIC that the warning and funds were insufficient. So, if a motorbike helmet was needed to custom made for this double-headed person. Fine! That's expensive and time consuming and needs specialist skills but a dress? Some jeans? For a plus sized person? Get on your game, stylist, this is bread and butter.

[@matxalenc8410]

It was literally the fault of the costume department. You're a victim of their competency (which most likely was intentional).

[@bethenecampbell6463]

There's so much out there for plus sizes in professional clothes, casual and special occasion wear that There's really no excuse for not having options available for actors.

[@draquela96]

It's their job to FIND SOMETHING. SOMETHING. THEY HAVE TO. THAT'S LITERALLY THEIR JOB. THEIR ONLY JOB. I've worked in the entertainment industry and I'm very sick of anyone calling themselves a stylist and then doing this type of crap. I remember when it was a hot trend to be a stylist for young up and comers so almost everyone's side gig was a stylist. It's a SKILL, and you have to think about things!!! Not everyone can or should be a stylist!!!

[@paws2reflect]

It was funny/ironic to hear Jay complaining about how bad his feet hurt while in drag. If a model said that, even if forced to wear the wrong shoe size, he would have gotten her kicked off.

12:51 You *know* the majority of the reason the stylist didn't have clothes in Toccara's size is because ANTM didn't want her to. What's the point of casting Toccara if ANTM can't belittle her for the exact reason they cast her in the first place.

[@TRKJSR]

Exactly

[@blaah9999]

Right?! Like imagine if the hair stylist said they didn’t know how to work with textured hair or makeup didn’t have foundation dark enough so they just said nope sorry can’t work with this model…

[@starsimvidz]

I would agree w/ you if this wasn't a problem on 99% of sets... even when they know a full figure model is showing up, they never have enough.. Just like how makeup artists and hair stylists have no idea how to work w/ black models. They know black models are showing up, and they still f*ck them over.

[@Janokimusic]

Tocarras confidence always inspired me even when she was feeling down she kept her self confidence. A true Queen ❤

[@anitapreciosa2830]

Her acting like Toccara is 700 pounds is just plain ridiculous. She is only heavy by modeling standards, not obese. Baby please : any store will carry her size and she has no problem working outfits. Unbelievable... The fat shaming is blatant and very hard to watch, indeed. I had to pause a couple of times.

Exactly and not everyone should be a stylist, fashion students and graduates make the best stylists

[@crowlynna]

I feel like Toccara had so much personality (IN A GOOD WAY) that they were trying to bring her down intentionally. She had more personality and was more interesting than any famous judges - like Tyra and Janice. They hate everyone who is better/more interesting than them. And probably they were mad too that Toccara was so beautiful despite not being the size that other models were. (I'm not saying "despite her being beautiful" because I think people her size are less beautiful btw just saying so no one misunderstands me) I'm saying this from the judge's point of view. They act like someone who is not their perfect size deserves to be mistreated. Toccara is a whole package she is smart, funny, has a great personality and is absolutely stunning! And they hated probably how she was IT girl. That's why they tried to ruin her spirit and bring her down as much as they could.

[@crowlynna]

​@johnbrown9654there are a lot of people in this world that praise you and behind your back they do shady things. If you want to look good for the camera you also have to play nice here and there.

[@crowlynna]

​​@johnbrown9654the shadiest thing you can do is to pick a girl and make sure she doesn't feel included. Nice comments mean nothing when people in charge (Tyra literally created the show) makes sure she doesn't feel included all for the drama, tears and views. They want girls to break down for the views. Tyra especially knows how to play nice to look good. Cmon now Tyra had the power to tell the stylists about Toccara, if she wanted to she would make sure Toccara has styling choices like other girls... but like I said... views are more important than well being of the girls. And that's all I'll say. I have no further comments about this since we all know how bad antm was towards the girls. Edit: just adding this that it's fine if we disagree but no one can convince me that these judges didn't do shady things...

[@devsie11915]

I bet the stylist pinched her on purpose to upset her further and that sounded like a scream of anger rather than pain. Like she was so over the mistreatment but felt like she couldn’t say anything and had to scream it out. Ugh I almost teared up hearing them talk to her like that. Straight up abuse.

[@roll3886]

The stylist was horrible for literally everyone but did Toccara dirty. She deserved to be treated with respect and not whatever sassyness she got. "Do you think I'd be able to get a rack of clothes for someone your size?"....then I guess you're not a very good stylist then if you can't find clothes to fit a model, no?

[@BrokenInBeauty]

I share the same sentiment - however especially in those days it was almost to be expected that you had a “one size fits all” body type, measurements and all. Since then fortunately there has been some progressive more open minded opportunities that sadly our lovely Toccara did not have any luxury of receiving ❤️‍🩹

[@shellysolomonart]

​@BrokenInBeauty No true, back then 12,14,16 might have been plus sized but there were lots of options back then. They were just being cruel and lazy.

[@sofiastj]

Janice is such a bully and so childish. She gets called out by Tyra and Janice puts her head down and says "I give up", like, really??? Is she five? She's just there to be mean and it adds nothing to the show.

I feel they sabotage Tocarra before they headed to Japan. She was my favorite plus size model on ANTM. That positive comment Janice gave her in the first episode shock me and thought she changed her view on plus size models but once a B always a B.

[@earl.c]

One of the alums said they engineered her elimination because most Japanese brands don't have her size.

[@jazzyboo2191]

Its so upsetting because if you looked toccara wasnt even that big. Yes shes top heavy but her tummy was kinda flat.

[@anitapreciosa2830]

Exactly. Most of her "plus size" just comes from having boobs, which is not that hard to deal with or anticipate.

[@jazzyboo2191]

@anitapreciosa2830 Right. I'm like yes she's bigger than the other girls but she's not that big. They could have found something.

[@sarahwithstars]

And there are LOADS of 0-4 US sized models with less proportional fake breasts who ARE accommodated for, constantly. Maybe less in 2000s high couture runway modelling, but in general editorial fashion modelling. Takara is representative of a normal body (statistically, normal distribution, bell curve) which is the body that all clothing should be designed FOR

[@TheRavenShim]

Toccara was and still is one of my favourite ANTM contestants and the way she was treated on this show pissed me off when I was young and it still does to this day. this show truly did its best to dull her shine, but the bs didn't stop her from getting solo editorial spread in Italian VOGUE (which they said she would never be in). she's an icon, a legend and she IS the moment!! also that HATEFUL stylist was the one who quit the show after the going to Japan situation, leaving the show with no clothes for the rest of the cycle for shoots (the models were thought to be prostitutes by the Japanese government and had to go to Guam for a couple days while the producers figured things out) (if you don't know this story it's wild, check out either Oliver Twixts' interviews w/ the cycle 3 girls or Jay Manuels chat on cycle 3). the stylist even got I believe a ''black stamp'' in her passport, I'm not familiar with what that is but I'm assuming it's... not good lmao. it's what she deserved!!

Considering that a few episodes later, the remaining models went to Japan, I don’t think Toccara would’ve fared well there, so they tried to break her down at this stage. This point was as far as they could bring her.

[@Pandaikon0980]

It's just another rason why this show was so heinous. They damned well knew in advance that they were going to Japan, where the fashion houses they were going to work with wouldn't have had clothing for Tocarra. They likely brought her on to make it seem like they were being inclusive, expecting her to go out much sooner, but when she kept being her amazing self, they had to manufacture this disgusting display to set up a narrative to boot her before the Japan trip.

I never really liked Janice and I’m glad she eventually leaves the show. Models should uplift each other, not insult each other. I’m glad Tyra stood up for Toccara. Eventually a “real-size” model wins the competition in a later season (I think you got it, Eva wins this season). Tyra also does a season just for petite models.

[@fashiondolldreamer]

You are 100% correct! I was working as a stylist back then too, and regularly styled shoots with size 14+ models and none of them went naked or had to wear 'bowling' outfits. In fact, I enjoyed those assignments as it was a refreshing change for the usual size zero-to-two that you often worked with, and those models were amazing. The fact is that some stylists are lazy and just want to pull from the same five sorry designers they always do. And yes, I always thought it was a set-up because as you mentioned, a stylist has all the models' sizes on hand before any job, and let me assure you that there were PLENTY of options for models of any size, even back then in the early 2000s. And as JEPiper said, Toccara eventually got her revenge as she got a multipage only-girl spread in Vogue Italia, shot by none other than Steven Meisel! AND it was one of the bestselling issues in Vogue Italia's history!

I remember watching this as a teenager, "skinny culture" was such a huge part of the 00's. This episode DEFINITELY exudes that toxic, gross energy from that era of time... I didn't realize how bad it was until this video!

They put Toccara on the show to get people watching - "oh wow they have a plus size contestant this season!" Then they treated her horribly every week for the drama to keep people watching. It was all calculated. The fact they cast Toccara on the show, but then never provided any clothing to accomodate her was to create drama and a storyline for views. So they effectively traumatized and humilated this woman to make their show more interesting. ANTM really is horrible for that, poor Toccara.

I can't help but feel Tocarra was also treated so horribly because she's a Black plus-size woman. Just look at how Whitney, another plus-size model on ANTM but White, was treated (and she actually ended up winning ANTM).

Cancel all the judges. They discriminated against plus size. And its sickening

[@realmichaelcomeau]

Toccara was HOT beyond words

This is probably the one time I am glad Tyra is there...she stood up for her models and that was good

Stylist: “Do you think I am supposed to have a full rack of clothes in your size?” No, ma’am, just one outfit, and you couldn’t even do that. She trying to appeal in wild superlatives that no one expects or asked for. Btw always hated Janice, don’t care how successful her career was, awful woman.

Yaya was such a kind person and she should have wom this season. Eva also has a weaker body of work

At 9:38 it’s giving American horror story vibes 😂 for me

[@Lady_Ginnie]

Sorry, no, I don't care HOW dramatic or over the top someone's being. People don't scream like that unless they're actually injured (that's why good horror actresses learn to scream, gotta sell it). She got pinched, but have you ever pinched yourself with a zipper or something? That sh*t HURTS. I don't appreciate the stylist downplaying it. I 100% believe she did it on purpose, too, to punctuate her crappy point.

[@AK12king]

I’m with you on this. That “stylist” was being nasty towards her.

[@Bullen_3]

I was literally yelling. They did this on purpose to create drama and humiliate Tocarra,and you can't convince me otherwise. There is NO REASON WHY you can't accommodate.. no not accommodate,more like DO YOUR JOB as a stylist!! All those wild costumes they had the other girls in and put in her THAT, because she is size 12?! This was disgusting... And furthermore you dont scream like that over nothing. They must of really hurt her. Then Mr.j said "oh that was loud" ,bc god forbid he could have any empathy. They really didn't treat these girls like human beings with feelings.

[@jessmPS]

Tocarra’s scream was an exaggeration but as a person who has been tattooed on my back an unexpected pinch or pain in that area would hurt a lot

[@TrinaRayne]

Not only did they exploit Tocarra’s weight, they also exploited Cassie’s eating disorder, and weight too. That guest judge on the panel was trash, they had a mock go-see, and he told Cassie that her thighs and hips were too big for his clothes. Then, on episode two, Janice pointed out that Cassie looked pregnant in the swimsuit photo shoot. Also, I think the casting was primarily done by Ken and Michelle Mok. Janice, Nigel and Nole Marin didn’t have a say so for who is going to the model house.

I love looking at this from a 2024 lens because they were completely wrong. They were so outdated. In my opinion fashion should be progressive and new and fresh. They were so low budget back alley casting room nonsense.
