The full story on the homeless man, as far as I am aware, is that he is in fact NOT Romani, his dog was NOT unvaccinated and did have his papers. The puppy was donated to him by a very kind woman after his last companion dog died of old age. She also has all the dog's papers and offered them to the group after the incident.

The head of the animal rights group has also made racist videos against Romanis in the past. He defended his group's actions by saying the homeless man refused to show them the dog's papers. Because when a group of violent racists come up to you and start trying to tear the only good thing left in your life out of your arms, you should comply with their demands for loving paperwork.






Beyond that, I don't know what has happened and can only hope the poor man has gotten his dog back.

Here's the thing, the job description for model is 'look good on camera'. Its not a job that you can advance through practice, study at gradschool, or even through nepotism. You have to be good or at least interesting looking, and that's not an achieved ability except through diet, exercise, taking care of your skin etc. Pro athletes have similar pressure on them to control their bodies.

Who decides what looks good on camera? To a small degree the clients themselves, but mostly the people they want to sell to. American apparel doesn't use waif thin models with perfect makeup, and their target market reacted really well to it and they will continue to follow their costumers' 'standard of beauty'. Lots of absolutely bizzare-by-beauty-standards looking people have internationally successful careers as models.

This lady 'thought for herself' and blamed her agency. What agency will pick her up after seeing her freak out like this?
Rightfully she fired them if they weren't finding her work, but blaming them specifically is misguided.
