so apparently male models have to perform sexual favors to get put on

[Manolo]

they don't have to but they do same with the women

just like in the entertainment industry its 2 sides to this shyt. some agents actively seek to leverage favors to give work and some workers actively seek to use their sexuality to land work. innocent people get caught in the middle

Weren’t you denying that Diddy demanded sexual favors from his clients in the past?

In NY I have seen and heard plenty shyt that proves this. I’ve been approached to model but avoid it for this reason. My pops was on the scene in the 80s and told me a male model friend went to an agent’s crib, got drugged and woke up in a bathtub with said agent. Dude quit modeling and moved away

Who remembers the episode of entourage where Vince got asked to model?

Dude flew him out, wined and dined him, then asked Vince if he could give him head.

Vince responded I ain’t gay.

Dude’s response was: Me either. I’m a straight man who loves sucking cock.

Instantly reminded of this

Facts.

I turned down numerous opportunities. Told that muthafukka "don't let this Ciara physique get it twisted. I don't and won't ever swing that way."

 

[Seoul Gleou]

yep. there's a documentary on Abercrombie on netflix discussing this a bit.

some photographer would ask for young college aged men to model. they'd go for shoots on islands and he'd tell them they could get more shoots if they did favours for him

this was the early 2000s and being gay wasnt as accepted. one of the models lost his gig because he called the photographer a fakkit

 

[Peauxboy]

Breh think it was his physique.

This definitely didn't take place in Harlem

Pretty sure it applies to female models as well. That’s how it goes, if you won’t do it someone who looks just as good will.

We only know what is at the surface with how these people in fashion and entertainment get down. It's a very predatory industry. Social media is generally terrible but it's been a valuable tool for allowing people go grow in their industry without having to be violated by demonic individuals who hold their career in their hands.

I have a very close friend that was a professional model back when we were younger, and she used to tell me similar stories…

She would say that a lot of the men did homosexual acts, but they didn’t see themselves as gay at all, just as doing what they needed to do to fulfill a lifelong dream, whether they liked it or not.

Obviously, my understanding level of this was on 0, but she’s hella liberal and understanding, and would try to get me to think of it as me playing my sport that I worked my whole life for, and deciding to do the act that no one would know about to make a team or change my families life forever etc.

I think as a woman, she doesn’t understand the element of disgust straight man would feel doing anything at all with another man…women are more liberal with their sexuality, but I would rather be homeless or in a shelter, hand to above, then get down like that. To each their own though…

i was saying i don't buy into gossip about every rich Black man being gay

unless you have first hand knowledge you are just gossiping

 

[Fillerguy]

Yall got jokes and wonder why mae sexual abuse isn't taken seriously

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

But why male models?

 

[gho3st]

Thats why they do hard drugs to cope
