To anyone who has posted in this thread alluding anyone contributing to Josie loosing work as ‘bullies’......This woman has shown racist behaviour yet she is an INFLUENCER, someone who’s job it is to influence people to do and be like her. Is that what you want in this world, people with racist tendencies influencing others? There are millions of others that can do her job, a million times better, thousands of them who already are. It would be no loss if her career went down the drain, it would instead be a positive thing to our society. It wouldn’t “ruin her life”. Sure, her income would be affected, but she has her home she is in now, the coach house, an apartment in London and her previous house in London that I don’t believe she has sold yet. She wouldn’t go homeless, she will never go hungry and has her partner, Mother and friends. Are you expecting us to support her and her career while she degraded black women and black models trying to further their careers in a magazine called Black Beauty. It’s no secret that it was mostly white women who were plastered over magazines with hardly any room for black women. Magazines are a dying industry, youtube and instagram are the top runners now where thankfully it isn’t up to editors to decide who gets to be in front, it’s us the viewers. Is this the type of person you want to keep being on the top, influencing your children/future children? We might be the average Joes who nobody knows, but we have the choice to make a tiny change, but an important one, by bringing light to the behaviours she has shown to brands and companies that feed her career and progress. I saw someone say they want to stop messaging companies and “let them see the tweets for themselves”. Well what if the company employees are saying “we shouldn’t stop our working relationship with her unless the viewers have seen the tweets for themselves”. We have already seen them. I’m not a frequent poster of this thread, but I have read them and saw the tweets yesterday. I don’t want them on my conscious. Do you want to look back in a decade and someone ask you, “Do you remember the international human rights movement during Summer 2020, what do you remember doing?”, and your answer be “Nothing really, I saw an influencer who had half a million subscribers had been publicly racist but sat back and did nothing in fear of seeming like a bully”. Let someone else, more deserving with better potential and the correct morals, who has the decency to apologise when they’ve done wrong take her place. I assure you, she will be fine without her free handbags and pricey moisturisers. But our society won’t be fine with commending racists and looking up to them as influencers.
