Whoa! Kim Kardashian might wanna find herself a new photographer (DM us, KK)! Mrs. West's personal photog Marcus Hyde -- the one to whom she and Kanye gave $25K to help with medical bills after a near-fatal car crash last year -- is being accused of soliciting nude photos from aspiring models. In the post-#MeToo age, what idiot does that?!
Insta-model Sunnaya (or at least that's her Instagram handle), posted screen shots of a conversation between her and Hyde in which he demands naked pix or $2K for a photo shoot with him. "nude is free?" Sunnaya asks? "Ya," Marcus replies. "Okkkkk i can shoot nude but I don't want to send you nude photos," she writes; "Then don't," Hyde replies. Sunnaya clarifies: "Okay do you still want to shoot then? lol" To which Hyde writes: "It's 2k." She again clarifies, "Bc i wont sent you nudes of myself before shooting?" "Yeah," Marcus writes; "Gotta see if your [sic] worth it."
Not only should Hyde take some grammar lessons with Justin Bieber (for their use of your instead of you're), but a few other tips we have for Marcus would be 1) don't text something potentially detrimental to your career to a complete stranger; 2) don't do that sh*t in the first place -- trying to force girls to send you nude photos; and 3) when you work for Kim and Kanye, keep your mouth shut and mind your P's and Q's and be thankful for the gig and don't F it up!
Apparently Kimye aren't the only celebs Hyde has worked with because Ariana Grande joined the fray, expressing her disappointment at Hyde's actions since she's been photographed by him in the past. She took to Instagram to post the message (below), calling on models not to work with photographers who "... make you uncomfortable or make you feel like you need to take your clothing off if you don’t want to.†She went on, "If you want to, sick. but if you don’t, please don’t. If they tell you you have to pay more money if you’re clothed that’s f—d and I’m sorry that has happened to you. I promise there are so many respectful, nice, talented photographers out there."
Can't wait to see how Hyde responds to all this! He might wanna tuck his tail between his legs and get the heck outta Dodge!
