Male Model Fired for Eating Croissant on Bruce Weber Abercrombie & Fitch Photoshoot

How is the pay differential between genders even legal?

 

How dare he! He should change his name to Florian Van Gluttony.

 

There's never an inappropriate moment for pastry.

 

what, was he performing open heart surgery or something?

I don't see how else eating a croissant could f up your job so much

 

Is the fashion world really so messed up or this is just an excuse to fire him? it sounds so childish...

 

The thread's title is just priceless

 

How ridiculous

 

Poor model. I'll get you a chocolate croissant dude....and I'll pick one up for me too while I'm at it.

 

its always been this way...male models generally get paid less than female ones

 

This is just plain stupid.I understand that they are very careful with what they eat during certain time before the shooting but how was a croissant going to make him fat right in the moment he was eating it?It's really not a decent excuse.This model could read the contract and see if it this thing was stipulated in his contract.If it wasn't,he could take legal actions.On the other hand, his behaviour doesn't show much professionalism.

I'm with you on this one!!!

 

I hope it was good cause it cost him about 1,500

 

1500 for 7 days work??? I thought A&F catalogs were suppose to pay really well???

 

it said he ate it at the wrong moment which is understandable in a professional setting.

(not referring to this guy) but i've seen a few male models who like to goof around and it's cute but it gets to be too much sometimes.. i've been turned off by so many because of how they act not matter how good looking they are.

anyways, i wonder if the agency will still keep him.

 

I think "wrong moment" is the only way they can spin it so that it won't seem like the devil ate their souls & that now their shallow lives are dedicated to his bidding.

This is absolutely outrageous. Their eating is "monitored" carefully? What the hell kind of world is this? Can we find these people and ship them to Haiti or Kandahar or Fallujah for some much needed PERSPECTIVE?

And then can we just keep them there forever?

 

wtf! the modeling industry can be one heck of an irritating pain! I guess the client and the photog r gonna hav to pay with unwelcome controversy though

 

That is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard.
Although, i could undserstand if A&F asked him to stop eating, and he argued and refused while shooting. something like that.
But if it's just because he wanted to eat a croissant, then let him eat the goddam croisant!
