Tyra calls Model DESPERATE For THIS 

Typical abuse - it's always lose-lose situations.

👁️👄👁️

Its not like thats news for „reality“ tv

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. You can't win with these people. lol

Tyra is the absolute empress of the double standard

Agreed 💯!

I'm so over these poor animals being used as props. I just think about tiger king, and how this cub was probably bred in captivity and may not have lived much longer after this shoot.

@@cjani1387 This. ^^^^

And photoshoots are long! And the poor jaguar had to "pose" with all the models.

So trough exploitation, the jaguar just wanted to leave.

The flash photography definitely made it worse too you can see him squirm more every time the lights go off.

Yes i million times agree LOL

If the animals are not being harmed then I don’t see the problem in using them for a photo shoot or art.

Totally agree with you.. says the woman who has baby animals as her profile pic 🤣

There are safe and ethical ways to use animals in photography. What ANTM is doing here is clearly neither of those things but it can be done.

@@ckilbarger01 I'm a photographer myself and I am aware of that. But see the difference between photographing animals and using them as a prop. I did have a family photoshoot with a cat, the moment I saw him being uncomfortable I asked them to let him be and leave him out of photos. I let my clients come to photoshoots with their family and for me it includes pets but I would never stress a pet, a baby or someone with disability. Damn, even a proffesional model may be exhausted and over with a photoshoot. There are boundries to everything. And if it's an animal that is trained for photoshoots (like dogs or horses) then yeah, they still have their limits and you also don't come to their face with a flash :p

Yes, it is. :(

They considered it "a reality tv show" and not "modeling"

It almost feels like a pyramid scheme, the way it victimizes the participants

@@origamipein18 but why? What's so bad about partaking in a show like this?

@@IsabellaQuinns so in part the surface answer is a snobby attitude. They feel fashion is about art and the unattainable so antm pitching to the lowest common denominator goes against that elitism. However, shows like AusNTM was basically a roadmap to a modelling career. So what's different? AusNTM changed out hosting and had an active major designer and a head of an agency on the cast list and made a lot fewer seasons so were more selective. Also having more recent or current fashion folk involved meant they recognized the emerging importance of social media, brand ambassadors, and real world events. ANTM was about Tyra and about good TV. It's fashion and judging panel was stuck in the 90s if not earlier (with Twiggy and Janice). It had chances to be closer to fashion but moves like moving to LA or Tyra's need for the absurd torpedoed those chances. There are a handful who achieved something from antm but they probably had more to do with those individuals than the leg up they had from tyra. And a lot of the biggest names made it in media or film, not modelling, because ANTM was selecting for TV. So they had trouble attracting actual attention from within fashion houses, photographers, etc. Then had unusuable photoshoots that were so overly retouched that the model was basically unnecessary in a lot of cases. All the while, antm showcases drama, making the models seem dramatic and unprofessional while having an unuseable book.

Yes. ):

Thanks for the info. I looked into that organization and sadly it's basically a glorified zoo, not a sanctuary at all (they themselves admit it on their website). They still subject the wild cats to "special events", birthday parties and other horrible things like that under the thin guise of "education". In any case, the u.s. is no place for most wild cats at all as they are not native species.

Why was the handler ok with this?

Oh good ❤

@@heidifedorcash

I wouldn't even be okay if it were a cat or a dog, or any other animal really. Animals are animals, not props.

@@BeautyMonster1000 True. But this is extra fucked up because a dog or a cat could theoretically be trained to actually enjoy posing and taking photos.

It is a cat, it is a wild cat. It is not a domestic cat.

If it’s not a cat, what is it? A rooster?

@@DeezNutzOnYoChinnyChin A jaguar is not a cat just like a wolf isn't a dog. They might fall in the same family, but people need to realized the major difference between them. I know this is more of a language thing, but you get what I mean.

Make it make sense, Tyra.

I definitely get the vibes that this girl (Mikayla, I think) understood that the jaguar wasn't happy with being held so she just didn't hold him to let him be comfortable with her and they wanted her to struggle but she was smarter than them 🤭

theres really strict animal working laws where i am from and they definitely wouldve had a huge issue with the law if they used the same animal for every one of the girls. they shouldve had least 3 cubs there and swap them out so they get a break. or not do this shoot at all.

@@MF-gq1dt Exactly. I almost wonder if they wanted the cub to be agitated

Cats in general need to feel like they are in control or they will not be comfortable

Yeah, this is also a really unfair shoot bc this poor animal is going to get increasingly uncomfortable and frustrated as the day goes on. So the last girl is screwed no matter how hard she tries.

It gets worse next season when they bring her back for All Stars, the crowd freaking BOOs her and only her during their first runway… This show was so mean to her!

I love Alexandria! I didn't get it either

Admittedly, I wasn’t impressed by Alexandria the first couple of episodes, but she grew on me. She is probably just one of those people who may lack the self-awareness to understand that sometimes the things she was saying may have been misinterpreted as mean when she wasn’t intending to come across that way. She did have the drive and motivation to do anything though and I admire that.

I always thought Monique was way more a mean girl than Alexandria, Alex was just like soo extra, but I don't think she was necessary mean. Monique I could not stand

​@@17JessyJonas same

On the bright side, this one's for Rachel Zoe, who was SUPER mainstream at the time -- but especially the photographers haha you can see the girls reacting positively because the producers told them to 😂

I need a timestamp

Same.

For real. That was basically abuse lol

🤣🤣🤣

Yes it's quite jarring to see misuse of animals like this :(

you could tell how upset he was

Okay ALSO "the suit is too tight maybe Mr J is grumpy like the jaguar" YES JESSICA FINALLY THE JUDGES BEING SUBJECTED TO THE SAME CRITICISM AS THE MODELS

All cat haters I know never lived with one. Their experience is with other people's cats, and then they don't like them because they can't pet or play with them (as most cats with a stranger person). Some were "attacked" and are afraid... But as long as they have the opportunity to have one or to interact more with a cat, they start loving them. Always.

I hate cats, I lived with one while I sat for it. Also I'm kinda of an introvert so your theory is out the window

Hopefully, this is just a joke... If not, the irony is that this is one of the most ableist comments I've ever read.

@@francisbarp I hope this also is a joke. It's so mean and ablest like the comment above if it's not.

@@alexrcastaneda Agreed. What a weird generalization to make about people. It's obvious Jessica was joking, so hopefully, these people are too.

D:

Paula Hamilton was really horrible!

I remember getting really angry by that comment. Dude, the assignment was to pose with the jaguar, if she didn't have to pose with him, Alexandria would have approached the photoshoot differently.

Yes! Till this day I think cycle 16 had the best models

I really did not care for Brittany. At all. She was so unprofessional her yelling at Alexandria at a shoot. I really just did not like her attitude.

@@ShermanCassidy Who cares when she was such a good model

@@ShermanCassidy She was also a teenager at the time though, so I can cut her some slack for not being the most mature at the time. ANTM also instigates drama with all the girls and convinces them to fight with each other, so I wouldn't hold that against her now.

Same! I have to wonder why though, my mind went to "eye crusties" 🤭 gross I know, but I didn't want to think of the "butt crusties" lol again, I apologize for the gross comment 😅

She is the boss and my princess 🥹❤️ I love her

Don't forget most iconic antm moment with Tiffany
