    Strike 1: upload an AI racist post changing a person’s ethnicity

    Strike 2: not even paying her for her work, and taking her only ‘income’ away which is exposure. (Silly of people that work for exposure but that’s another topic.

    Strike 3: apologize in the form of a thinly veiled threat of legal action

    Strike 4: feign ignorance, by saying you did it because you were overwhelmingly popular on social media, and weren’t paying attention and had no idea you didn’t pay your models. (Don’t lie, you absolutely knew). Pass the blame further by blaming the fans, because apparently someone else had a vested interest in changing the race of one of his models.

    Strike 5: try and turn the narrative by making sure everyone knows that the event is in honour of his dead wife, and actually WE should feel sorry for HIM.

    Sounds an awful lot like narcissism (what’s the narcissists poem?)

    This guy seems to be a bit of a racist scumbag, who not only takes advantage of young models, but is happy to throw those around him under the bus or throwing his lawyers at the problem before dishing out an honest and humble apology.
