Photographer Reacts to FREEZING COLD Americas Next Top Model photoshoot 

Caridee: *develops hypothermia after everyone has been telling Tyra the water is freezing* Tyra: *shocked Pikachu face*

If that model spoke up, they would be ragging on her because she couldn't stay in the water.

The bully who was bullied. Tyra’s entire professional career was being judged, compared, criticised, told to lose weight, told to walk different, told to talk different.. and she goes on to do the same.

"as a model you have to know when to let us know that your body has reached that point" SHE DID- she got out. she did the right thing. Give her credit Tyra damn

So the model goes into hypothermia from the freezing cold pool water, and they tell the model that it is *HER* fault because she didn’t “listen to her body.” Then basically tell her she’s not strong enough to be a model. What the- I... I can’t. This show was beyond toxic.

Model; "I'm actually freezing, this is to cold, I can't feel my skin anymore and I can't stop shivering" Tyra; "Stop complaining, that's what being a model is like, I was in the snow once, it's not that bad, now pose!" Model; *Get's hypothermia* Tyra; " Well, it's your fault, you should have told us" This is a literal manipulation tactic wtf Tyra

Model: "Heyy this is really cold and I don't think I can take it" Tyra: "Stop whining and do your job 😩✋🏻" Model: *gets hypothermia* Tyra: "omg gurl why didn't you say anything :0"

This is how even the best swimmers drown. because you get so cold your muscles become numb and you cant move. this was so beyond dangerous. it was very close to life threatening.

Tyra will praise models for showing up to a shoot when they are nauseous and sick but then when a model is having a medical emergency it’s the model’s fault for not saying anything. But she’s always telling them that they need to push through. It’s so frustrating to watch.

As a former model that was made to feel that being cold, being in pain, and putting myself in danger was my job, THANK YOU FOR THIS! Abuse is NEVER a part of any job.

I watched Oliver TwiXt interview Eugena Washington, and she actually explained why Caridee reacted so severely. She was on medication for her psoriasis, and a side effect of it was extreme sensitivity to cold. And the producers knew this! I did a little research, which I’m not sure how accurate this is so please do your own, but some psoriasis medications thin your blood. Which can cause you to be EXTREMELY susceptible to cold. And again, THE PRODUCERS KNEW THIS!!

"Back in my day, I did photoshoots in the ICE AGE" Tyra is a boomer confirmed

It’s literally abuse. They’re putting their health at risk and threatening them and then gaslighting them. I haven’t watched ANTM in a long time but i used to love it and these videos have really opened my eyes to how truly awful the show was.

"you have to tell us when you're past your limits" Everyone before the shoot: "I know the water is cold but this is real modeling" "The cold is down there, I don't wanna see it in ur face" "Models have to go through this without problems." And you expect the model, after hearing all that, to tell them when she's past her limits?

The fact that the medical team tried to help the poor cold model in the background while Tyra and the rest all just carried on like nothing. Disgusting. The whole "The show must go on" doesn't always apply!

“there was once a sports illustrated photoshoot in the snow...i didn’t do it, the other models did.” oh thanks tyra, thats sooo helpful 🙄

Im confused as to why the pool needed to be freezing to do this shot lol

I hate cancel culture, but really, cancel Tyra. Please. It’s time.

"you have to know your limits" isnt this the same show where they kicked someone off because they refused to model underwear? i mean, i know its a different kind of limit here, but still.

I was almost cast in ANTM and decided not to do it, not to continue the auditioning process. For a long time, I thought it was the biggest mistake of my life, to turn down such an opportunity. Now that I'm older and when I re-watch the show, I'm so glad I didn't do it. It would have messed me up. It's amazing how conditioned we are to accept abuse to attempt to reach success.

This whole show is gaslighting at its finest lmao. THE AUDACITY

“you’re looking really stiff” you know what makes muscles stiff? LOW TEMPERATURES!!!!

"You have to tell us when you've reached your limit" What about when Keenyah Hill clearly said SHE had reached her limit and she was GASLIT about it.

As someone from Fargo, ND hearing "you're from Fargo!" Pissed me off. Yea, we wear winter coats here. People get frost bite within minutes during the worst part of winter.

I once saw a behind the scenes of a “winter” swimsuit photoshoot, as soon as the girls werent taking pictures they wrapped in a blanket and put a big puff coat on them, along with a warm drink. Most shoots are humane and consider the model, tyras shoots are never.

The girls should have all teamed up and pulled a “practical joke” on Tyra, and pushed her in the pool. It would have made for “great entertainment” for the show. 😉 (They can’t send them all home).

Can we also talk about how the judges will comment on the girls' weights but then make them swim in freezing cold water for this? Physically they should know that they do not have excess fat to warm them.

Yes Tyra chooses the "best picture". I remember one time a girl told Tyra she took better photos then the one chosen and Tyra shut her down and was like noo if you had better pictures, I would have chose it.

Someone needs to make a whole book on Tyra contradicting herself lol

Conspiracy Theory: Tyra tortures all these girls on purpose to get back at all the people that "did her wrong" in the modeling industry.

I've gotten hypothermia before and the shaking is literally uncontrollable, it's absolutely horrible. I was so cold I hadn't even noticed I was shaking until someone told me

Model 1: She's dramatic.(Points at Model 2) Model 2: *Literally about to die*

"I'm really Cold" "it's freezing" "im rlly cold" *is shaking bc of hypothermia* " yoU shOulD HaVe TOld Us SomEtHiNg wAs wrONg" Edit: Oh wow I did not realise this many people saw this

Jay really do be acting like an angel on his Jay chats but he's pretty much just as mean as Tyra.

"You have to step away from the situation" Caridee: *stepped away from the situation and asked to stop shooting*

The audition process for this show ruined how I felt about modeling and about my body for the longest time. I spent so much money traveling back and forth during this process and made it so far just for them to make fun of my braces at the time even though they would’ve been off before filming started.

UNbelievable that they tried to take the “you’ve got to tell us...” angle. Omgggggg ALL the girls said it was too cold.

When she said she was too cold: Tyra: "Come on! You're from Fargo!!" When she becomes hypothermic: Tyra: "you didn't let me know!!!"

I just CAN’T anymore! That Show is so damn abusive. They really are narcissists who gaslight, deny, blame and torture others with their fake personas. How come RU-vidrs have to apologise for almost everything and need to learn and be aware of issues and address mistakes and those narcissistic sadists are blaming someone who is afraid of telling the truth because she gets major problems if she does??? My stomach hurts - wish they should be arrested for that kind of behaviour! At least they should pay EVERY girl who was on that show EVER and got treated bad personal injury compensation!

11:51 him saying that “you need to tell us when you are past your limits” ah yes, like when that model in another episode said she doesn’t model lingerie/underwear and you took her out of the show because she didn’t do the shoot

The weather looks quite sunny. Everyone is in summer clothes. I have a feeling they somehow did something to make the water colder just to create drama and traumatise the models as always.

Tyra's "swimsuits and shot in the winter, coats are shot in the summer" argument is one of the reasons models have pushed for unionization and workers protections over the past decade.

I did a mermaid shoot with my friends in my green pool at the end of the summer. The shots got published and turned out perfect and we had shots of us all floating in the water. We all took turns being in the water and our photographer even jumped in for some shots. Definitely a much better situation than these models had to deal with. We had towels on stand by and had a shower ready to go.

Tyra reminds me so much of one of my first jobs as a nurse aid. Coworkers kept leaving and left me in the building of 100 residents alone many times a shift. One particular week, I had done a full night shift (my regular shift) and my relief never showed up. It's illegal to leave the building without any aids to cover. So I remained. This continued for the next two full days! 7 shifts! I was there. I eventually collapsed on the floor and my boss pulled me to an empty room where I fell asleep immediately. When I woke up I was SCOLDED for working too much overtime and not somehow getting people to take my shift!! Um, that's the Head nurse's job! 🤕😒 But I was really young and I beat myself up thinking I was a terrible CNA. To this day I have Nightmares of that incident. I'm permanently disabled with Chronic fatigue, pain and panic attacks. Literally feels like that took all my energy for the rest of my life and that was 13 years ago

Eugena actually talked about this episode in an interview recently and said that she talked to the producers years later and they admitted to knowing how dangerous it was at the time including Tyra. This was some real f'd up stuff. Should have never happened.

Tyra is a sadist I swear torturing these poor girls is how she gets off

The way Tyra was being shady by saying “you went above and beyond” to Amanda. Just wow , its crazy how someone can say that knowingly of the other model getting hypothermia.

I'm increasingly convinced that this show existed entirely for Tyra to torture people

FYI: Swimsuits aren't "shot in the winter". Collections are done litterally a year to 18 MONTHS in advance so most are actually shot in the summer a year before commercial release.

I feel like Tyra is on a mission to prove that modeling is difficult. I remember in cycle one there was a girl who insisted that modeling was easy... it drove Tyra CRAZY.

Jessica I never really noticed the fact that Tyra always makes everything about her in each episode!! its crazy!!

Model: “ it’s really cold” Model: “I’m freezing” Model: at the point of hypothermia “ can I take a little break” Tyra: “ this is all your fault you should have told us” Model:” ok” Tyra: “now get back in the water”

I have experience modelling in rivers and lakes in the north of England during autumn. In my experience, it is painful at first but then I get used to the cold and I can shoot while everyone else is wearing a coat outside. However, I do it willingly and the whole team is always very nice to me. No one pushes me to do anything I don't feel comfortable doing. And this is what matters. Different people have different thresholds for pain and temperature and models should be able to say no. Edit: I also want to mention that there is something weird about this ANTM shoot. Everyone is wearing summer clothes outside, which means that it's warm and the swimming pool water should not be that cold. Now, I am just speculating here but is it possible that the show made the water colder on purpose? The reactions of the models are normal in very cold water, but the water should not be that cold if the weather is warm. So, it seems to me that they made the water colder on purpose (maybe throwing ice, I don't know). Just speculation.

“Why can’t the water be warm”. Like literally Tyra. Lol

The photographer actually looked really concerned. He was like "yes, absolutely. we can take a break."

They wondered why carrie d didn’t say anything (cut to every clip of the girls getting ripped apart for saying something, Danielle left the hospital with IV’s in her arm and was praised for making the photo shoot) SOOO messed up

The liability of pulling one model because she was hypothermic but letting the other girl stay in the pool 🤯🤯🤯

she was literally saying "it's so cold" multiple times 💀 the gasligthing

I remember watching this episode when it came out and I was like “she told you how many times she was cold and you’re literally ignoring her and blaming HER for not telling you?!”

we all know that if any of the models did vocalize that they were at their limit then they would've just been shamed for it.

I hate how much I loved this show when I was younger, like every clip I watch now just ANGERS me. To think of all the negative ways this may have influenced my poor teenage thoughts 😳

She’s giving them corrections while their ears are underwater...

I absolutely love that you do these videos. Your commentary is very informative, empathetic, and hilarious. When I was younger, I didn't grasp the severity of these photoshoots and how Tyra is so inconsiderate and narcissistic. So is Jay. This, among several other episodes pissed me off immensely. I can't believe I thought Tyra was a hero when I was younger smh.

I used to binge watch this show when i was younger. Watching it again made me realize these people were unnecessarily brutal to the girls, bullying them and treating them like they were disposable “because it’s fashion”.

The worst part of this whole thing is that she was praised all the way for her perfect shots. Why eliminate her? She did the freaking shoot.

Tyra has the same mentally as an abusive parent. "If I had to go through this, then my kids can do it too" Just because they went through something doesn't mean others have to suffer the same. She has the knowledge and experience to make things easier for them, but chooses not to because of the lack of empathy towards them.

Natalie Taylor has an entire video about the time she did a shoot in freezing cold water. She had to stop very quickly and was hypothermic her entire way home and expressly said that it was a bad idea. This is just dangerous.

Tyra is honestly awful. "Hey this water is freezing I'm not okay" Tyra: keep shooting! *gets hypothermia* Tyra: WhY dIdN't YoU tElL mE

I feel bad for the girls :( Also, you mentioned how they roasted Eugenia, and I remember them always telling her that her eyes looked dead, though her eyes are gorgeous - overall, my impression was that it was a critique they gave to girls with dark eyes, but that might just be me... EDIT: Also, IIRC, Caridee had put off modeling because she had psoriasis (which they knew), and they put her in a pool, which, assuming it's a normal pool has chloride which is bad for psoriasis and might irritate her skin - it's not nearly as bad as giving her hyperthermia, but it's still irresponsible and a bit shady

You know, Jay Manuel tries to make it seem as though it was all Tyra’s fault, but I see him being just as bad if not worse!

"I never saw one frame where you looked cold" Translation: You did an amazing job. You looked comfortable in freezing water, but we're going to send you home because you're a liability and needed a break.

The amount of gaslighting in ANTM is impeccable.

"I don't know what kind of bueno you're talking about" is my favorite quote to come from this show

Wtf and they blame her for “not telling them she was cold” !?!?!!? I hate them. I’m raging.... Toxic toxic toxic omg

Tyra is an evil woman. She seems to love when people are suffering. She's mean and she's a bully. I can't believe I watched this show as a teenager. Thankful that I never had any image issues. Thank God for my Mother and Father...They always told me I was pretty, talented, intelligent and friendly. I can't imagine what this foolishness brought to insecure teen girls over the years. Thanks for these videos.

I love Jessica's personality everything she says I felt... She's such a considerate soul and I really like that about her.... Never change Jessica and your so beautiful

Tyra is so sadistic. She sees them shivering and suffering and she’s smiling hella big all proud of herself

"It's real modeling". Uh, no. This is how Tyra see the world of modeling from her perspective. The entire show was basically a caricature of Tyra's modeling experience. That's why nobody takes it seriously. She just took a piss on the industry because they didn't give her the attention that she craved.

The fact that everyone else on set is in short sleeves shorts and the girls warmed up by lying on the ground in the sun means the water was only that cold because they purposefully made it that cold. Where I live there are swimming pools and natural springs everywhere and the only time the water has ever been so cold that we stay shivering in and out was in the winter or if the pools were set to be cold for whatever reason. They made the water freezing like that on purpose to make it extra difficult when there was no reason other than to potentially harm them while making the girls seem like if they had a bad shoot it was their fault.

I appreciate you so much for these reaction videos. I used to watch the odd episode and a few years ago (more than 5 years, less than 10) made an effort to watch a couple of full seasons. It's amazing that I never realised how abusive it was, I just thought it was interesting and fun. Your commentary has really opened my eyes to it! I knew some voiceovers were dubbed in by Tyra because you can tell it's not in the same room (totally different reverberation of the sound), but I didn't know that the original words she spoke on camera could be radically different, nor was I wise to the manipulation that was going on. Your voice as a professional photographer helps me to see how much of what they did was unnecessarily cruel, and how uncomfortably obvious it is that this was never 100% about good pictures, nor training models. The comments from others are also really helpful because they've helped me find interviews where the girls talk about what it's really like.

Jay complaining about her getting hypothermia, you shouldn’t put them in a situation where they even have that risk....

I feel like tyra was being abused during her modeling career and she’s punishing them

Every body is different... And Caridee has an autoimmune disease.

“Why can’t the water be warm ” Good question !

I am sure when Tyra was on a photo shoot, where it was freezing, especially from Sports Illustrated, she was treated way better, than these women.

Being in cold water is faaar colder than snow

i like how when they tried to say something at the beginning tyra immediately shut them down but then they get mad when caridee has hypothermia and act like none of them ever said anything even though eugenia and melrose were clearly cold and uncomfortable as well. gaslighting at its finest. why does tyra have such a fetish for abusing young models?

You’re literally so sweet. I love your huge open heart! You must be an earth sign or a water sign.

The reason CariDee reacted so badly to the cold water was that she was on medication for her psoriasis, which the show knew about. Tyra is the one who chooses their photos. Also, what are they supposed to be modeling in these shoots? Cause those heavy dresses look terrible in the water. You can't even see what they look like.

Im loving this antm react series

Sutan!!! I love seeing all these future RPDR legends!

I love your videos because you show things people don't see in this television show at first. I learn a lot from you. Keep up the great work.

Tyra keeps mentioning a snow shoot: she had season 6 do one, episode 2. They wore bikinis in a freezer posing on blocks of ice. The girls pulled it out but I’m shocked more of them didn’t get seriously injured or sick.

So they need to know their limits, but in that one photoshoot with bees when the model said she was allergic no one cared? I mean ok...

"You did terrible this shoot you are so pale" "im dead literally a ghost" "well you should have worked around that"

Omg I love your honesty 😬, you’re totally right

ANTM, Jay, and Tyra were SO lucky that CariDee was able to walk to the edge of the pool and try to get out. She COULDN'T actually get out because her muscles were spasming so hard so they had to literally pull her out. All I can say is, one big spasm, her doing under the water and inhaling water, and they end up with a downing victim in their hands through Reckless Endangerment. They were very fortunate.

Now imagine if those two girls who hated each other hugged just so they can feel warmer.

I’m so watching this series on your channel and Loving ♥️ Loving it!!!! Love your commentary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jessica your reactions and your comments are just so important....... thank u!!!!
