Thank you for sharing this. It’s a good video and the guy speaks really well. I think in all the furore it’s good to remember the comments Elle tweeted have really offended and upset people. I can’t imagine how this guy feels knowing he was booked to model for their brand and the two people making money are horrid racists. His comments at the beginning about the atmosphere on the shoot are very very interesting as well. Fair play on him speaking out
Elle Darby #51 under 700k, tattle’s having a takeaway.

To save people a click (I hate the daily mail, terrible website):
A spokesperson told FEMAIL: 'At Gleam Futures, our mission is to be a driving force for a culturally progressive and diverse industry, offering leading-edge representation for talent that align with our values.
'In light of recent events, we have therefore made the decision to no longer represent Elle Darby and Connor Swift.'
An insider added: 'As soon as this came to light, Gleam reviewed the situation and looked carefully into the whole issue but ultimately made the decision quickly that they could no longer represent Connor and Elle.
'Diversity is something that the company and all of the staff are extremely passionate about.'
OMG YESSSSSS WE'VE DONE IT GUYS
This is what I don't understand. I can't imagine ever using language like she did. But will never forget getting the absolute bollocking of my life from my parents when I told some on Bebo they had the worst taste in music and they needed to get a life ... Because they loved some Queen cover done by like McFly/Busted/Insert Other Boy and Here
My Dad was fuming I'd had the audacity to send a horrible message like that to someone on the internet. I can't even imagine what would have happened had I ever sent something worse than 'your music taste sucks'
Genuinely buzzing for tonight's takeaway
Wow. I expect we will see a lot more influenzers unfollow now.
Something to note is the sheer amount of nutters about who might actually wish her harm.
I wouldn’t dare leave my house. It’s one thing to insult a specific minority but she’s pretty much covered all bases. How would you feel safe ANYWHERE?
Poor kid, growing up with that kind of threat ever-present

Molly-Mae Hague's dad defends her AND Elle Darby with huge rant
MOLLY-Mae Hague’s dad has defended influencers and social media stars after his daughter and Elle Darby were targeted by trolls. Furious Stephen – a former policeman – pointed out that individuals …

Oh dear
I think a lot of influencers do get cash payments per post though. Especially ones with followers in the 100 thousands.
they also get a ton of freebies, so they come to feel entitled to it. Why pay for stuff when 9/10 you can manage to get it for free, I imagine is the mentality. And it means they can hoard the actual cash they have coming in.
one of the influencers I used to follow, Nelly London, did the Instagram stuff alongside an actual job. But she quit her job sometime last year I think, and does “influencing” full time. She’s bought two properties in Brighton in the past two years and you can’t do that without significant cash incomings.
Bet she’s fuming she’s been dropped what I’d do to be a fly on the wall

I'm going to follow this lady just for this. Well done her
That must of been an awkward conversation between her and Lily considering she’s a bridesmaid (did she not even basically say she was a second maid of honour?) But you know what they say..never mix business with pleasure.
So what happens now could that lily represent them solely on her own? Will she be bridesmaid still? The questions are never ending!!!
I’ve been a silent lurker for most of this drama but I have to weigh in on the Gleam dropping
That is SHOCKING ! They will have had a contract with Gleam , so the fact Gleam have terminated it early and would have had to consult lawyers is HUGE ! It is a massive deal to be dropped by your talent agency , holy crap !
makes me wonder what happened , whether Gleam tried to advise on steps to take and Connor and Elle were resistant , or whether Gleam knew their true colours and this was the nail in the coffin … but wow , holy tit , I did not expect that !
(Context : I worked in PR & Influencer marketing for many years , have friends/colleagues who worked on the talent side of things at similar places to Gleam)

Yeah I was thinking this, I expect they did make the decision quickly but had a lot to untangle legally and contractually. Same for some brands, a lot were criticising them for taking a while to say anything but some will have probably had enduring agreements, paid them some money already, had upcoming projects etc and had to consult the necessary people beforehand so as to not fall foul of their contracts.
When Elle tweeted the horrendous things 10 years ago I was working as a makeup artist and wanted nothing more than to be an "influencer", I even had my own YouTube channel. I used to get so upset that it wasn't taking off as much as I wanted it to but now I have a job with great money and my own candle business. These "influencers" have no idea about hard work and they think they can bounce back after "reflecting" and "taking some time out". I'm so shocked by this all, I used to watch Elle religiously on YouTube but she has lost so many followers and brand contracts and rightly so.
Anyway, what takeaway are we having tonight?

Just hope IF she does make a return to YouTube she drops the hey angellllllllllls bullshit.
Same. I’m Elle’s age and don’t even know anyone who used that language growing up and was aware I shouldn’t associate with anyone who did either. Sick of people who get caught out for this behaviour blaming it on the times being different and the fact they were young - as if they were in our grandparents era when it happened. It’s not okay
