dikk just accidentally ended up in there mouth

Idk shawty was giving a thumbs up like it was all good lmao.

Coli is filled with cac male sympathizers :mjpls:

“Black males” sympathizing with a skinny cac pervert taking unwanted sexual advances to a black/mixed woman y’all ain’t outraged. :francis:

And bro is literally known for this. This isn't the first time he's been accused at all. I'm assuming it's why he went into the shadows when the metoo shyt starting hitting and a few models called him out.

Iirc, there was a lot of talk about him taking advantage of younger and newer models while he was the it guy.

The beautiful singer says she felt “manipulated” and “objectified” by Terry, who made her open her shirt and pull down the top of her jeans.

Alicia made the stunning allegations in her new book, “More Myself,” when the photographer convinced the teen singer's team that he needed to photograph her alone. Terry then allegedly told her, “Open up your shirt a little” and “Pull the top of your jeans down a bit in the front.”

“My spirit is screaming that something is wrong, that this feels sleazy. But my protests, lodged in the back of my throat, can’t make their way out,” Keys writes. “I swallow my misgivings, tuck my thumb between the denim and my skin, and obey.

According to Alicia, she went home and cried after the shoot.

“This isn’t about me showing some skin, which I’ll do on my own terms, for my own purposes, in the coming years,” she writes. “It’s about feeling manipulated. It’s about being objectified.”

She said her manager at the time was appalled when he saw the magazine cover a few months later and Keys says she didn’t recognize the woman in the photo and was “embarrassed” and “ashamed” of it.

“I swear that I’ll never again let someone rob me of my power,” Keys writes, adding, “It’s a promise I still work to keep.”

:wow::wow:

Not sure how I feel about this

This is a great statement but at the same time

Does a woman really need to be "manipulated" in order for her to show skin?

Women are very sexual creatures and their all

About showing off their body, and pushing sexual boundaries

But then again, someone like Alicia Keys,

She was never really about marketing herself as a sexual object

From what I remember, she never really made any sexual songs or videos like a Beyonce or somebody

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
so saying no and leaving wasn't an option? :mjlol:

nikkas supposed to feel bad for this lack of basic logic? :dead:
This. I’m really sick of this shyt. Women can’t seem to even say no or leave but we gotta read minds and tell if they don’t wanna do the things they never once object to

fukk outta here

It's not always easy to say no and leave, especially if you're trying to make it big in certain industries...

So women being forced into doing shyt they don't want to happens a lot, especially in music and film...

That said, that is clearly not what happened with Alicia here, she is trying to blur the lines between willingness to comply for career advancement and forceful coercion/sexual assault...

There is no gray area here, its pretty straight forward...

If he ASKED you to do something and you do it, that's not on him, that's on you...If he FORCED you to do something (physically or gave you no choice to walk away), that's on him...

I love ms keys but a statement like this..can be interpreted as "I would still do it if the price is right".
