@Natalie Adams Interesting pivot, there. Might I draw your attention to the massive amount of media coverage of any Islamic terrorist attack? Tell me, do you have the same emotional response to terrorist attacks that target Muslims? Or are you looking for a whataboutism way to undermine people reacting to racism as you find no issue in bigoted responses to certain ethnicities or religions?
These people say black people are "ugly" ...yet they plaster theirselves in fake tan to make thier own skin darker ...talk about cruel double standards....I am Irish and white as a ghost , Elle wouldn't like me either as she also had a go at Jedward's accent...I wonder does she want to go back to the days of "no Irish allowed" signs everywhere the UK too 😂
Elle is definitely racist but she probably isn’t trying to look black. Black people aren’t the only ‘tanned’ people in world. There’s mixed race, Arabian, south East Asian, Latin, Mediterranean, etc. She might be trying to look like a Latina. But I do agree she thinks she’s superior for being white English.
We're with the same agency! Elle had me model for her brand Angelle two years ago during the height of the BLM protests! I was the only black model used to and and I'm plus sized too! Speaks volumes; sorry you were used too for their diversity quota just to hide their racism bro!
@@charmainechatkin4263 yes really. Elle has duped black models into thinking she cares about them and respects them. Clearly she doesn’t, and it seems unfair to make these models represent a brand that disrespects them. What would you do if you were in a similar position?
Just watching your pain and seeing how eloquently you discuss this, wow, for such a young fella, you are the nicest, calmest, dearest person. You can feel your sadness at finding this horrible situation unfold after working with their brand :( I'm so sorry for how this has all made you feel. You are a beautiful person (inside and out) and I just want to wish you and your lovely Diego cat all the very best (from a larger person with 7 cats who was also offended at those comments).
Thank you so much for your kind words❤️ I had no idea people would be able to see straight through my laugh… I wish you and your 7 babies all the best🙏🏿💕
Her sorry was the most laughable, non-genuine thing I've ever seen. 3 minutes for years worth of hate... She's not changed and I really don't think she even knows why her thoughts and beliefs are terrible. Someone has spoken out on insta only 3/4 years ago she called a woman a p*ki 4 times in 5 minutes on a night out because Connor said hello to the woman. Since this all came out she's hidden/deleted 300 videos off RU-vid so clearly hiding something there! I totally understand why you will question and find it hard to trust people but from a normal non racist person it's really sad so many people have to live like this. The Polish girls 'I'm a normal person' was heartbreaking. I'm older than her and that language has never been acceptable, so her excuse of being young doesn't make sense.. I've never been racist even at 10 let alone at 16-18!! I don't wish any physical harm to her but she does not deserve her platform ever again.
@Natalie Adams not sure if you're being genuine or not so I'll give you the benefit of doubt and answer... when I was young certain groups used p@ki as a racist and derogatory slur, it was meant to make people feel rubbish and was an insult. It was a slur used for Pakistani, Indian etc anyone from that sort of mid Asian region. Sadly I'm from a rural area and'dirty p*ki' was something I did hear from others in school. That's why it's racist, it's not like calling me a Brit. Thinking in the context of Elle on the night out, she clearly intended to insult or hurt the girl. She was angry Connor said hello to her and used a known racial slur to hurt her. Lets be honest if the girl was white she probably would of called her a b*itch or slut. But because this girl wasn't white her go to was a slur....
@@kerriedwards8800 I 100% agree if you’re going to argue or insult someone there are so many more ways than bringing race into it. The second you use racial slurs it shows that you hold those opinions towards every person of that race not just the person in the situation if that makes sense.
I genuinely feel so bad for you, I can’t even imagine how you feel after finding this all out. But the fact that you are still telling your viewers not to give them hate is incredible like bro you’ve gotta be a good human to do go through that and still be that kind!
I felt dirty for giving them a view the other week watching their NYC vlog, so I can only imagine how you feel bro 😩 I hear you about being invited for being THE black person in the room btw. Good & funny response to the situation 🙌🏾 Be Kind! 😄👊🏾
It’s 2022 and I don’t understand why there is still racist people 😞 I love everyone no matter what skin colour you have or what religion you believe in we are all equal ❤️
I don’t think there’s anyone that shouldn’t be offended by what she said she was a 17 or 18 year old she was an ADULT. I know that as a British woman I’m embarrassed and disgusted & I just want to offer support, kindness and reassurance to anyone who has been deeply hurt by her comments that she is not a representation for all white British young women. Thank you for making this video.
@Natalie Adams I appreciate what you are saying but with all due respect there are 12/13/14 year olds that wouldn’t say the vile things that came out of her mouth
@Natalie Adams OMG what a small world I went to school in Enfield. I understand what you are saying but I do genuinely feel like it has progressed and there are much more young people (especially in multicultural areas like Enfield) that understand and don’t want to be associated with racism. But based off of what you are saying - Elle Darby was 17/18 she wasn’t a school girl trying to get people to like her or trying to fit in. Her tweets were clearly what she was thinking and feeling and by that age she should have 100% known better
@Natalie Adams girl everybody knows what racism is every child know when someone is being me or rude to them you don’t have to be educated to know that
Your reaction is exactly how I reacted 😂🤯 nervous laugh because you are just so shocked how casual the racism and hate is regardless how long ago this was. It's just relentless! Loved your video ☺️
This makes me so bloody sad and angry!i’m so sorry that you had to read that absolutely disgusting, i’m so shocked and i can’t believe it thought they were so innocent its actually really scary what people are really like so messed up! Sending so much love to you! Also I absolutely love your cat Diego i’ve got one called Merlin and I’m obsessed 🤣
So horrible, unfollowed the both of them as quick as possible. They don’t deserve to be forgiving. They were adults and old enough to know how to treat others. Think about how many people they have let down, embarrassing really. Glad you made this video, sorry for the casual racism you experience in your job. People can’t blame it on the fact it was 10 years ago. Im 15 and I would never even think about things like that let alone tweet it. Ridiculous and so wrong
I commented on this video before I watched it fully, and I just want to say a big THANK YOU. Thank you for bringing light to this and pointing out just how hurtful her tweets and videos could be especially towards any young polish women watching her. I can tell you my jaw dropped when I was made aware of her tweets against us. I unfollowed her immediately and was so disgusted that I ever admired a human being like that. Hate is never okay. Again I’m so sorry for the experience you had with them and I truly hope cancel culture is implemented and these people actually see some repercussions for their actions.
Polish people are the biggest minority group in the U.K. I have seen many hateful posts and also seen physcial discrimination against Polish people that's been around for a long time. I'm quite surprised that some people are not aware how European foreigners are treated and taken advantage off in this country. Hope these tweets can grow some well needed awareness .
@@cocoxo2735 People know this, many English dislike Polish and Eastern Europeans. But its hard to have sympathy for them as many of them are racist themself against non-white people in their communities and in their country of origin. Many polish come from this ultra ethno-nationalist working class background where they embrace neo nazism and other white nationalist ideologies. Yet i dont see Polish people or Polish people speaking out against that.
@@dylandylantoriyama5370 it's interesting that you say most Polish people are racist just because they are white. Being a Eastern European foreigner myself who has been told to "go back where I came from", having parents who work in factories being scammed with a lower wages even though doing the same jobs as natives, also getting kicked out and threatened to have police called because you can't speak English in a phone shop, these the types of things we have to deal with. Trust me, when you face discrimination, you don't have the power to be privileged because we are targets are selves. You can assume all you want about us, but we came here for a better life, not to be painted as racists.
“You caught me” 😂😂I’m cryinggggg. She had me grabbing my chest 🤦🏾♀️. Besides that it’s really sad you had to go through that. At 18, you’ve been through school and etc to know what’s right to say and don’t. At 18 we all knew not to twitter insensitive stuff like that .🤷🏾♀️ she has no excuse
What she said was absolutely disgusting! I don’t care how old she was, there’s no way you can have so much hate towards certain groups of people and then just ‘grow out of it’. My daughter, who has brown skin, has experienced racism from the age of 8. And even the kids who done it at that age knew it was wrong, so how didn’t she as a teenager/young adult. It’s bullshit! I’m a white British woman and I haven’t experienced it personally, but seeing my daughter cry and feel bad about herself because of racist comments is the worst thing in the world. I’m so so sorry for anyone who has been through this. Anyone who has hurt or is hurting, im sending so much love. Your video is real, and im glad you said how it made you feel, you have every right to, and they need to know how it affects people. Take care ♥️
I’m a few years older than you (36) but I just wanted to commend how incredibly wise and articulate you are. I feel like you are wise unfortunately due to your experience you spoke of during your life and I’m so sorry. I have three boys who I discuss race with (the elder 2) often and I am lucky that I grew up with parents who were very liberal and would not accept judgment of anyone no matter their race, size or sexual orientation. I have been questioning my racist beliefs for a few years due to doing a counselling course of three years and also when Black Lives Matters was heavily in the press. I read and watched many things and looked back at the language I have used and stereotypes I maybe had. I realised that although not a racist outwardly some of my ingrained beliefs were in fact racist and accepting. I couldn’t believe I didn’t question that foundation shades were called ‘ normal to dark skin’ I realised I didn’t follow many people of colour on RU-vid or Instagram as I felt like we wouldn’t have as many things in common. Questioning these things is so important and I wish people would do it more as it’s not enough to just think - well I’m not racist as I don’t say a b c…you have to question everything and really pick at belief systems that have been brainwashed into you by society - for example the presidents in the 80’s I think it was who wanted to make out black people were the drug problem therefore building a name that black people sell drugs. Sorry I’ve waffled on but I just wanted to give a glimmer of hope to you and anyone reading this that although I don’t want to be all white privileged and ‘save’ people of colour, I do want to point out that there are people doing the work and bringing up children who will help to change the narrative hopefully. Sending love and light and carry on being what seems a very intelligent young man ❤️
Thank you for educating yourself. It’s hard to change our fabricated narrative, because how are we supposed to change our stereotypes implemented by the society to create negativity towards us?! You know it’s so hard, they’ve destined us for failure. In school they teach u only about slavery for black history, so u associate inferiorty with black. But when you do the scientific research behind black people, you see how we’re genetically superior, the first human civilisations and where all knowledge was deriven from, but obviously they hide that. Thank you again. Please continue to educate urself and being so open minded❤️
@@internalcommunications4892 thank you for your lovely reply! I completely agree and I was actually shocked at some of the stereotypes I had that I didn’t even realise as I said. I wish instead of arguing against everything people would just take the time to educate and do some self work. So many lack the empathy to care enough and that’s so sad. I wish you a healthy, happy life and that things change soon for the better. Dee ✨
I don’t think her apology was genuine either, she kept emphasising the “younger version of me” there was NO apology it was all about her image and protecting herself 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ she’s only embarrassed that someone found the tweets… foolishness
If she didn’t anger people enough already with her pitiful excuse if an apology the first time around she has really caused anger now, did she honestly think people would be manipulated by that tragic video into sweeping it under the carpet?? She hurt the very people who put her and that other coward to the wealthy lifestyle they have today, they followed a lie, I guess they’re going g to find out what it’s like to have a real job if they want to keep what they have, everyone was played by them, their models to model their merchandise, those who sponsor them and the subscribers and those who bought their merchandise, an all about me victim apology won’t fix this, no one trusts them now well except those who would have the same disgusting mindset they would have will be the only ones hanging in to her every word and dismissing what has unfolded
Yess! And it was so choppy. I can only imagine her making out shes the victim and her pr company edited it like crazy to make it "decent". The part where she say she's taking time to relflect and then thinks "hang on whyy?" And came up with something rubbish
@@Si1234321 EXACTLY that’s what was pissing me off the most. People need to unfollow both of them! I heard her and the husband have been dropped from their agency
The fact they make out in their first ig apology that they decided to be reflective and dig out old tweets off their own back. No, you were caught out and dug out by someone else. She never even said the word sorry. She also hasn't uploaded an official apology on her ig feed/grid so that brands looking at her ig won't see it!!! Great video x
Her apology was BS. She was mainly apologizing to her fanbase, not the actual groups that she targeted. She has not grown. It takes more than just a passage of time to grow. She still harbors these views I'm sure, she just didn't think they would ever get out. This is why you don't put celebs/influencers on pedestals because you don't really know them.
Genuinely shocked….makes u think who else is racist and putting up a front! She needs to explain why she felt like this! Why so much hate what happened in her life!
I am so sorry what you experienced with them and the photoshoot etc, but lol the polish map made me laugh. I just want to know WHY she was so incredibly hateful towards us Polish?! 🤣💔
@Makeup with Sandra ...Funny because a lot of Polish people are racist themself, doesn't feel nice hey when the table is turned? I see many ultra-racist polish being against immigrants and hating non-whites. Now Polish people all of a sudden understand ''ethnocentrism'' and racism LOL.
I can't begin to imagine how used and hurt you feel. To know Connor and Ellie acknowledged that they could profit from using you and Brandon, whilst also hating your skin colour is perverse and disgusting. It reeks of the "we love what you can do for our image but that doesn't mean we actually respect you" idea that is so dehumanising but unfortunately common. Thinking about Ellie's tweets I couldn't help but think it was a "we can't be racist, we booked these 'foreigners' for our brand." 🤢 Infuriating. I hope you personally receive an apology from them. It's beyond shameful that they haven't done so yet.
We as people have all said dumb ass things when we was younger. Nothing like what she and Connor said mind. But imagine being so dumb you write it on the internet, and then imagine how dumb you must feel when it all resurfaces and screws up your entire way of life, what a total fail 🤦♀️ As a trans girl, I have learned that feeling of "what are they thinking and saying behind my back", as someone who was your average white guy before transition, it's amazing the difference in never having to have worry about those thoughts. I can only imagine their attitudes come from upbringing and the school settings they went to.
Vile, I hope they disappear for good! Please keep us updated whether they issue you a personal apology! I have messaged the SWFT store saying thats what you deserve! The more I hear about this whole thing the more and more angry it makes me! They should not be expecting to come back from this!!!
I can't even begin to imagine how you felt reading those tweets. There is no excuse for racism ever ever ever! The apology video was piss poor in my opinion. I just really hope something positive can come from this situation such as raising awareness of the power of words and reinforcing how abhorrent racism and discrimination is. Its long overdue for people to be held accountable for their views and opinions! Side note, that blue hoody looks 🔥on you!
You brought up very good points✌🏼but like you said, where is his apology to you after all of this?My guy is still using your face to make money 💀💀You’re entitled to share your opinion fr
Thank you for bringing more light on the situation, I am disgusted in myself for admiring her for a long time to then find out her cover up of how much hate and pain she has caused. It’s really scary what some people are really like. I genuinely feel so bad that you were put in this situation since you’re such a humble person! Also I adore your cat 😅 my cat Oreo says hi and I hoping to get 2 more kittens next year 😍
Please don’t think that making a video like this encourages hate. If people are going to be hateful, they will do it without encouragement. People, especially celebrities, need to be held accountable for their actions. Too many people are worried about it these days because they think it ‘encourages trolling’ NO! Everything you’ve said is absolutely valid and correct, you haven’t been nasty, you’ve just spoken facts! I’m so sorry you feel used 🖤
In this video, I noticed that you still tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, tried to get an understanding of where she was coming from, and you even told your supporters to not drag her (because as black people, we know how it feels to be discriminated against, misunderstood, antagonized, bullied, etc .. so, we always try to understand others and give them a chance to redeem themselves.) But sorry not sorry, that woman is too ignorant and she has to learn that it’s not okay to think like this; to behave like this. It’s very distasteful and she needs to realize that she needs to be punished AND educated someway somehow. Because if a black, Pacific Islander, or Asian person had said what she said, they’d be executed. Literally
God bless you and the black community definitely wishes you a promising career of success, longevity, and many great fortunes. May God deter you from the hatred you may receive. Keep up the good work, my brother. Stay blessed.
I agree with you but I don’t agree that BIPOCs would actually get executed for making statements like Elle’s, like come on, be serious. Total exaggeration!
@@Kanaan01 you should sue the pair of them so that they’ll stop using your images for their website. They hired you without disclosing certain information and that is wrong.
I’m not a model but damn it just hurts seeing my attitude in others. I’ve said these things before “I’m used to it” , “as long as I get paid”. Just shows how frequent it is to the point we get desensitised from it.
Would you ever consider asking them to take down the modelling photos of you? I find it so sad the amount of abuse and racism etc towards such a vast variety of people. So disappointing
Being a Muslim I feel I'm always questioned if I'm opressed or allowed to not wear a scarf ! These type of people don't help with there Un educated minds. It's disgusting to know so called influencers pretend to be perfect !
There is no coming back from this unfortunately. But rightly so, one tweet could have been a mistake but 30+ tweets is just despicable. I'm ashamed that I actually put money in their pockets. They are vile and don't deserve a platform of any kind. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, you are the bigger person saying don't give them hate, I couldn't forgive so easy.
No. There’s no mistaking racism. One tweet is too many. The only “mistake” is getting caught. Don’t try and provide a potential excuse for racism and bigotry labelling it as a potential mistake had it been once
Great video man! I’m so sorry that you are tokenised in your industry, is is honestly so grim and in hindsight makes a lot of their “armchair activism” on social media in 2020 so disingenuous. Hopefully your video will help further expose this issue as I’m sure that many POC in the modelling industry feel the same way due to systemically racist standards of beauty that unfortunately still work at large in our society. So gross. We need to do better.
I get what you're saying about looking at people and not knowing if they're racist/using you bc I think that way too. I'm mixed race and appear white so it's heartbreaking to think people will doubt me in that same way but I really do understand. I know you're joking around in the video and kinda laughing it off but I hope you're okay. You shouldn't have to deal with this in your life let alone your work.
I’m so pleased you have spoke about how you feel about it! That’s so important, for everyone to see, especially her! I’m sorry you’ve experienced them both. 🙏🏽
Hi Kanaan, I just came across your video and had to comment. Thank you for sharing your experience and I’m so so sorry of how your experience with them and all this must have felt for you :( I used to watch their channel, but for some reason something didn’t sit well with me and I unsubscribed and unfollowed ages ago. I’m Greek Cypriot and in my group of friends there’s Black, Polish and Asian and I am truly disgusted in both their racist and nasty Tweets! Also your Diego looks a lot like my cat son Rocky! :)
I hate that word it's the worst I can't be a follower of theirs anymore 😒 I was once a massive fan. I don't like racist, homopbic people. It's beyond evil people even speak like that 😕.
As a black girl who watched their content I’m just super disappointed. Imagine investing time supporting/wishing someone well whilst they’ve invested their time hating minorities… really hope some growth is happening at the very least. I get your dilemma, always trying to give people the benefit of the doubt when they probably don’t deserve it.
@Deb stop speaking of ''minorities'' you think ''minorities'' care about you many of your ''minorities'' harbor the same anti-blk sentiments. But a lot of you ladies are blinded by this ''people of color and allies'' nonsense.
That’s why you should never idolize this type of shallow idiots. They act like butter wouldn’t melt but you just don’t know what they’re really like behind closed doors most of the time. Luckily the evidence has come to light re: Elle but if she was this bad in plain sight (the public tweets), imagine what she says in private. And I don’t believe her and Connor are the only ones either. I bet a lot of the others are just more careful not to publish such thoughts in public.
@@scruffyo4460 💯 She grew up in the Bath area. Where did her hatred if 'foreigner' come from? She had quite a privileged upbringing. I just knew her sugary sweet vibe in her videos was phoney. The genuine / real RU-vidrs don't overplay their 'niceness'. Absolutely no-one is like that in real life
YOUR HUMOR 😭😭😭😂😂😂😮💨 your so funny srs 23:10 -25:10 😭😭. No but in all seriousness Connor needs to remove your pictures from he’s website. And for Elle she honestly can idk? Those tweets are insane.
She hates everyone but mostly herself.. look at how much shes even changed her own face. Just projecting that inner hate onto everyone and it's so gross. She needs to grow up and fix her heart not her face
As a white woman, I am so sorry this happens and it breaks my heart that you are used to these things. It's 2022 now and we still live in a disgusting place like this.
Never heard of this woman before all these tweets got exposed but babyyyyy that type of hatred and to actually go on online and openly say that bs is crazy. I don’t get how people even try to defend her especially when they’re not apart of any of the ethnic groups mentioned like what are you forgiving her for???
This is first video of yours I have watched and you seem like such a lovely person. Your cat is absolutely beautiful and I love you said your cat is your world ...
The pair of them are so very grim. They get their kicks thinking everyone envy’s them. Wannabe wag/TOWIE people. Can’t blame their parents solely their full grown adults with their own mind. Pair of them are so fake and how she’s managed to get her following and the outpouring of love in their comments just amazes me. In every one of their videos in them first 5 mins you see what type people they are. She’s not sorry for what she’s said she’s just sorry she got called out. It’s these people who deserve this cancel culture. Anyone who’s supported them just as bad.
Great video. Thanks for the info. Haven’t watched you before and I really liked your vibe. That was a lot. What really stands out to me is the tone. She’s SO angry. Why? So opposite from her fake nice girl schtick (which is why I quit watching ages ago…she seems so put on). And GRUNTS? My parents speak three languages each and my grandmother speaks five (and taught herself 2 or 3 of them). Wonder how many these two speak?
the fact she said the quote was from her mum makes a lot of sense why she's the way she is. Obviously doesn't excuse her action/word but if she was around that bull shit 24/7 I feel bad that parents didn't educate her.
Here after seeing a random comment about her being racist. Watched her “apology” with zero context and thought, “hmm that was ages ago, maybe I’ll look into it more. She must have changed”. But holy moly… those were… I have no words 🤢
Hey kanaan I hope this is a lesson that next time properly go though information about people who book u,coz with our beauty colour we more like a cover up to all the hate “them people “ be throwing on us✨#besafe
You are an amazing human honestly! and I hope you won’t work for either Conor or Elle anymore . Their apologies were pathetic and seeing I am Polish with friends of all origins , I can’t get over their comments!! All the best to you! All they did for themselves and turned off comments on social media and disappeared for days before throwing some pathetic apologies out there that were laughable.
Wow you dealt with this so well, even whilst addressing the shitty comments they made, youre still asking people to not be unkind to them etc. Got yourself a new subscriber - you’re such a sound guy! Sorry you had to associate with those racist individuals.
Thank you for sharing your views in such an eloquent way. I am so sorry this happened to you and can't even begin to understand how you feel. Just please know that we are not all the same. Much love xx
Everyone needs to unfollow her! Even in her apology video she said she tried to get the video right many times, why? That’s because the first attempts came through really fake so she had to re act!
Thankyou for this video & can’t imaging how you felt reading those tweets - angers me in 2022 this is still happening horrible you turn upto shoots with them thoughts in the back of your mind - your doing a great job and well done for speaking up hope your okay xx
Her tweets have made me feel gross as a white British human I would like to appologise to everyone she has offended everyone should be loved and appreciated no matter what race, weight, age, sexuality everyone is human like you said we all bleed the same our differences is what makes the world so exciting as a parent it just reminds me to keep checking in with my children and make sure they never ever think the same way.
