Ariana Grande has spoken out against photographers who make models feel uncomfortable after learning of some “shocking and really heartbreaking stories.” She shared her message on her Instagram Stories, telling models, artists, and anyone, really, to “look out for one another.”
Grande didn’t specify any names, but the message is likely in response to the women who have accused celebrity photographer Marcus Hyde of offering free photo shoots in exchange for nude photos.
A model named Sunnaya recently shared screenshots of a DM conversation with Hyde. In the thread, the photographer says the photoshoot would cost the woman $2,000 unless she sent him nude pictures. In addition to Grande, Hyde has also worked with Kim Kardashian.
After learning of Hyde’s behavior, Grande posted her message on IG. “If you want to [take your clothes off], sick,” Grande said. “But if you don’t, please don’t. If they tell you you have to pay more money if you’re clothed that’s fucked and I’m sorry that has happened to you.”
