I have so much respect for Shannon. She refused to pose nude in cycle 1 and she stuck by her morals and convictions here. They said she's confused - no, she knows exactly who she is and what she believes. They are confused, since they don't understand the difference between underwear and swimwear.

Most people would be more uncomfortable being seen in their underwear than a bathing suit. It comes down to consent. Typically people in bathing suits are consenting to people seeing their bathing suit. Underwear is typically not seen. It’s worn underneath our clothes so we don’t typically consent for people to see that item. It’s not that complicated ANTM 🤦🏼‍♀️

So Tyra yelled at a model for posing for playboy (even though she pressures others to pose nude) because she doesn’t like what Playboy portrays… But she doesn’t understand why Shannon doesn’t want to pose in lingerie?

You don't have to understand someone's boundaries to respect them.

I would love to see a contest for Americas Next Best Photographer where multiple photographers shoot the same professional model to see who comes out with the best photograph. They have to work the stylist, set design, retouches, and give the model directions to see who best captures what the client wants.

I hate Jay saying Shannon is still a little confused. She's not confused. She has never changed her stance of swimsuits can be worn in public and underwear can't. They keep trying to trap her in every season she's in and she's been so clear.

That "fan" who cussed at Alexandra was so planted by production 😂

All Stars was more like a Black Mirror episode than a modelling show. It was just Tyra narrowing each girl down to one personality trait, then judging them based on how well they lived up to that label

Shannon’s boundary makes perfect sense, it’s so good she was mature enough not to be gaslit into believing she was being unreasonable. You wear a swimsuit to the beach, they’re made to be seen. You wear underwear in private, it’s made for you and your partner. Someone you’d be okay seeing at the beach walking in on you in your underwear would naturally still make you uncomfortable. There’s only a “double standard” when you wrongfully believe it’s about skin showing.

Concerning the booing that Alexandria got, I think it was real, and this is why. Her season had just happened (she was in season 16, and All-Stars was 17) and she got a REALLY bad edit. I watched all of the Oliver Twixt interviews with other girls from her cycle. All the girls said though she was a bit extra and annoying at times. but despite that they all liked her. They said that she was actually nice most of the time though, and their words were edited to make it looked like they all hated her. They would say things like "Alexandria is such a drama queen- but I love her." But the show cut out the "but I love her" part. If you remember how shocked Alexandria was when Brittani Kline went off on her, it was because she was shocked- the girls were friends. All the girls who were interviewed pretty much agreed that Alexandria got a terrible edit. With that being said, because she got the villian arc, I think a lot of people (myself included) did not like her at the time. And like I said, her season had JUST happened, so it was fresh in everyone's mind.

AAAAAAAAAgh!!! As a former professional model it drives me bonkers when people don't understand where Shannon is coming from. It's not the level of nudity she's uncomfy with- it's the context! Bathing suits are made to be seen in public, while lingerie is not. Therefore, the only person who would usually see her in lingerie would be her husband.

It’s just crazy how the judges would on one hand say “we’re teaching how to become models in the REAL world” but then also act like the predators in the real world trying to persuade models to wear under or shoot nude when they aren’t comfortable… so messed up

Tyra to the girls who haven’t changed: We want to see another side of you!

it's very obvious the more morals and boundaries you have on ANTM, the more they're going to try and break you. Almost nobody was styled in underwear/bikinis, but Shannon is the one they knew would have a problem with that, so they constantly feel the need to call her bluff and she proves time and again she will not be moved.

Antm really pushed the narrative that if you want to be a model you have to give up any boundaries or hang ups you may have and just be an avatar for the industry

You are 100% correct about how terrible every one of those photos were, the outfits, lighting, scenery, bottom basement, fire the photographer level.

While some of us can say “oh they knew what they were signing up for”, Lisa has been on podcasts and interviews where she said a lot of the girls were still working gigs and saw this as a good opportunity to get paid. When you live paycheck to paycheck, it’s hard to look at opportunities and be stingy. Plus, I’m sure they felt like since they’d been on and experienced it firsthand it might be easier, but no… production will always find a way to terrorize the girls.

The outfits the girls were wearing on live was MUCH MORE beautiful than the ones they were using in the actual photoshoot! It's insane that they themselves could style their outfits better than the people that are PAID to do that!

Thank you for shining a light on this exploitive industry. It's truly a public service because it makes people rethink the way young people are treated by this degrading, destructive business and perhaps stop it from happening anymore.

You know if Shannon had worn the lace panties they would have said "Oh, you didn't stand firm in your convictions!"
