How in the hell can you pick a guy who does not like black women? You have got be the crazy to put that Spanish KKK guy in the show. I am faulting Tyra for not screening this jerk.

I agree. I know Jaeda isn't the best model but come on. Who wouldn't react like that. This man was fully being a jerk towards Jaeda. I would like to see Tyra having to work with this moron.

I couldn't believe it either. Well hopefully some of his clients see this and decide not to hire him and then his agency can drop him.

Of course Tyra did nothing about it. I'm sure nobody came to Tyra's rescue to save her from discouraging or racist people when she was a young model just starting out. Anyway, I suspect it may have been scripted. I think the lesson learned for the models is not to expect anyone to care about your feelings. The modeling job is about looking good and getting the job done. Maybe it's unfair but that is how they can expect to be treated in the real world. I know I sound unsympathetic but I agree totally that it was wrong. The women have to deal with the reality of the industry and if they can't handle it they should try a different profession. Maybe Tyra was also trying to give them a little warning to watch out for male models. I believe I recall her saying in a previous season that she had a relationship with one in Italy when she just started modeling who broke her heart.

Very good point. I was really shocked that they let him stay but it makes sense the way you presented it. In the real world you work with real jerks and you can't let it get you down. I'm sure Tyra and other women of whatever color had that happen to them and still made the shot.

Did we actually hear him say this, or did we just hear someone else say he said it?Not that it matters all that much. I think where racism (and sexism and a lot of other nasty "isms") you have to pick your battles. I wouldn't waste time on this guy.
Any more than I'd waste my breath arguing with, say, Rush Limbaugh. On the other hand, I'd be happy to kick him a few times.

I didn't record it, so I can't rewatch the scene, but I don't think he ever said, in so many words, that *race* was the issue. I thought he just said that he didn't like *her*, which isn't exactly smart to say to another actor you have to work with on set, but isn't racist either.Until the girls started talking about racism, I honestly thought the guy had misunderstood. I thought he thought that Jaeda was coming on to him, and he was just telling her, bluntly, that he wasn't into her. Regardless, I thought he was incredibly unprofessional for refusing to reherse with her. "I'm eating now." WTFever. You're getting PAID now, and besides, none of the other guys seemed to have any trouble eating and helping their partners with their lines. Slice n' Dice's Sigpic Chop Shop 2004

I re-watched this episode last night and I have to agree....I didn't hear him say anything (well at least I didn't read it in the subtitles) that he didn't like her because she is black. The subtitles translated it as I don't like you. There could have been several reasons why he didn't like Jadea. Maybe he didn't see her as attractive (she certainly didn't look it at that time) or maybe he found her to be annoying? The black thing came out during confessionals and if I recall correctly the other girls said that he was being a jerk. I'm not saying that the guy didn't say it but I question why it wasn't shown.........

I think racists are idiots. But exactly when did this guy show racist behavior? All we have is that Jaeda claims he said he didn't like black girls, and although the lack of him saying it on camera is not proof that he didn't say it, her penchant for histrionics causes me to think she misinterpeted him. If he -had- said it, and there was footage of him saying it, I think it's a safe bet we would have seen him say it. What I saw is that she was sort of hovering over him, and quite possibly could have annoyed him. He did seem to speak to her in a rude manner, and I think this offended and hurt her. Fair enough. But-- The only person here who might have reason for a lawsuit, would be him, since the show presented him in such a manner-- afterall, now we have people who watched it calling him a KKK member, possibly quite few people refusing to work with him, and etc. Even in Spain, people are entitled to their opinions, so, no, Jaeda would have no right to sue this guy, even if he did say he didn't like black girls. He was rude, but in the end he was also professional, even feeding her lines during filming. I'm not saying the guy was an innocent victim, but I am saying a lot of people, including Jaeda, seemed to leap to conclusions. My first impression of him was that he was a jerk, nothing more nothing less. Add to that the whole lost in translation factor, and I think it's the proverbial mountain out of a molehill. Jaeda needed a better excuse to freak out than that he was being mean.Gosh, a model being a jerk!?!? Now that's unthinkable.
If you really want to be a sheep, I can point you to a shepherd.

i know what you mean! My guess is that Tyra probably did screen this guy, and then put him on there to create drama and better t.v. for her show. Don't get me wrong, i love ANTM, but I think sometimes they go a little far to get good ratings. I felt bad for her, but she still shoulda worked through it if she really wanted to stay in teh competition.

i watched that episodethe male models were helping the girls learn their scripts in spanish. jaeda asked for his help. he wanted to be left alone and enjoy his dinner. jaeda probably thought he didn't want to work with black women.
