[@fionapeterson-quinn885]

Just think we all need to remember that in cycle 4 Jay and the rest of the cast and crew shamed and invalidated Keenyah’s concerns about how one of the male models was groping her and moaning in her ear during the shoot. She stopped the shoot and expressed her discomfort. Jay said, and I quote, “we’re here in a professional situation, there are like fifty of us here on set” the photographer agreed and encouraged her to “go with the flow.” This exchange could be taken in one of two disgusting ways. One, “there are so many of us here, we would have seen/heard something like that so you must be blowing it out of proportion.” Or two, “there are so many of us here why would you waste our time with your concerns.” And this was just one of the worst of many circumstances in which Jay was insensitive, belittling, and absolutely toxic to the models. His hands are not clean.

just a heads up, the girl was laughing and making it seem like it was a joke. understand when those cycles even happened...defense mechanism wasnt a common excuse. it was seen as she didnt take it seriously. and truthfully, Tyra was in her rights to yell at her...Modeling is hella hard. it is definitely not for most people. especially 10 yrs ago. and tyra clawed her way into the business. she saw it as disrespect and i dont blame her (given the mentalities of the times).

One episode a girl talked about fear of spiders, next day SPIDER PHOTOSHOOT. Another's best friend died, next day CEMETERY PHOTOSHOOT.

1:43 "She wouldn't talk to me unless the cameras were rolling" Very Pearl exposing RuPaul vibes

[@kamariatoure42]

Everybody knows that about Tyra

[@strikelee3369]

They were once close and good friends and she really relied heavily on him because he was great at what he did for the show. I think she took it personal when instead she should have been professional about it. Because he was her friend I think she felt betrayed when she wanted him back even though his contract ended and he didn't want to go back because he wanted to pursue other things. Friends are supposed to have each others back and be there when in need, so maybe she needed his help and when he declined she felt betrayed by her friend and that is when things started to go down hill. Things were said and he went back but not willingly so I'm sure that must have made the set awkward for them and that could be one of the reasons why she didn't speak to him when the cameras weren't rolling. The disadvantage thing about working with friends or family in a business setting is that when handling conflicts sometimes you lose yourself in a professional manner and it becomes personal, you feel hurt and or betrayed and that for sure will take a huge toll in your relationships. Lastly, Tyra is retired, but was a famous model known all over the world. Jay, never knew he existed until top model. Lol. Jay needs to be more appreciative of Tyra and less salty and sassy. She boosted his career. Be grateful not ungrateful. That's all.

[@jamgart]

That’s different. RuPaul and Pearl were host and contestant. You don’t have a relationship with them to start with and you can’t (as a host) put yourself in a position that may show favouritism. But with Tyra and Jay, they were work colleagues, they worked with each other behind the scenes and before cameras were rolling. It’s like having an everyday office partnership compared to a client relationship. There’s a certain distance you keep with clients.

[@hayyaanhussain]

@@jamgart I understand that but you NEVER say to a contestant "nothing you say matters unless the cameras are rolling".

At that age and especially in a competition where you think your life could change forever if you win, they had no voice and just wanted to please everyone and win. They were so young and vulnerable. I feel bad for all those poor girls and hope their strong, confident women now. As for Ms. Banks, have no idea why abc casted her as a Dancing with the Stars host with her bad rap.

They looked so much better before and both felt uncomfortable with their looks afterwards. She did it for the shear purpose of playing God. She’s a very self centered person that constantly talks about herself. Comedians make fun of her for it. Heck, there’s montages about her talking about herself.

For a moment I was like “you don’t get a pass when you contributed to the shows detrimental atmosphere”, but then I remember he mentioned the contract that so much of this behind the scenes stuff is so forced and contracts bind people from leaving, disagreeing or even speaking on it until they’re out of it. Sometimes people never get out of a contract. That is such an evil side of show business on every platform, even in the music industry.

Oh, please. Girls may look pretty but they take smelly shit too. In a perfect world everything would be perfect and even shit would smell nice perhaps like baked sweet potato pie. Lol. Why some people are so sensitive? Why some people feel the need to bash others and ruin their reputation? I don't discredit Jay but there are always two or more sides to the same story for all individual involved. Why are people hating on Tyra when they haven't heard her side of the story? It boggles me that people are so shocked over this as if they've never witness anything like this before. We've all been through this one way or another at work, it's nothing new. But is it really worth destroying somebody's reputation? Some things should just be handled in private. It's not like she sexually harassed or assaulted Jay and other staff members. She was just difficult to work with but is it really worth outing her over it. Lol.

Now and days you can't say anything or even joke around without the possibility of offending someone and getting fired over it. Some people are getting way over sensitive. Everything might as well be kitchen talk for now on. Lol. Ellen can come off as rude and bitchy at times but don't we all even when at work. We've all have had plenty of bad days at work. But the Ellen show should be held accountable if the allegations are true about rasicms, sexism, etc on the Ellen show. But why her former staffs say something now and not then? Does it mean that it didn't bother them as much to have not said something then? Are any of her former staffs in therapy over this and can they not go on with life because of it? If she was just difficult to work with then I don't want to hear it. Just because someone is difficult to work with doesn't mean they are a bad person, horrible boss, and or dislike their employees. Not every person works well with every person, it just doesn't work that way. If the Ellen show got cancelled then Wendy Williams better watch out. She is flat out rude to some of her guest and staffs and the way she treats Suzanne at times is uncalled for and hard to watch making me feel embarrassed for Wendy. She is someone I could imagine would be difficult to work with, I'd be walking on eggshells with her. I don't think she's a bad person or bad boss but you really have to get her to be able to work with her.
