“The model didn’t match our storyboard”

Model laments after being rejected on set for not being light-skinned

The video director was accused alongside his artist by a model who was rejected because of her skin colour says model didn’t match the storyboard. Recall that a young model identified as Ewa took to her page online to lament after she was rejected at a movie set for not being light-skinned.  Video director replies model. Photo credit: Ewa. Source: Twitter According to the model, the artist selected her for the shoot. However, upon getting to set for the shooting, the artist changed his mind saying she can not shoot because he wanted a light-skinned model. The lady tweeted, “8 am on Sunday, I left my house in Ikeja to the set of my at Lekki. Some minutes after noon, the artiste arrived on set and said he changed his mind. He wants a light-skinned model because my skin tone ‘doesn’t fit the aesthetic’. In response to the accusation, the video director has disclosed that the model wasn’t rejected because of her skin colour but because she did not match the storyboard and vision of the video shoot. According to the video director, he checked all the portfolios of the models for the shoot before he selected them but realized that Ewa, the model who called them out did not fit the vision for the video shoot hence had to drop her and look for a new model. He however debunked the allegations that the model was rejected due to her skin colour. He tweeted, “This is such a heartbreaking and false narrative. As a video director, I carefully selected models for this shoot (through an agency) based on their online portfolio and pictures but the reality was starkly different. The model didn’t match the vision or the storyboard. so I had to make the difficult decision to request another model. This had nothing to do with skin color, as I value diversity and inclusivity. I even took out time to speak to her and compensated her for her time. It’s disheartening to see this narrative being twisted into an issue of skin color. Let’s focus on celebrating talent, professionalism, and the power of visual storytelling.” so I had to make the difficult decision to request another model.

Some minutes after noon, the artiste arrived on set and said he changed his mind. He wants a light-skinned model because my skin tone ‘doesn’t fit the aesthetic’ At this time, I was done with makeup and halfway through my hair, so l was thinking it must probably be a joke. Am I supposed to whip out bleaching cream and turn myself into the skin tone that fits the aesthetic? The members of the crew tell me that it’s the artiste’s video and there’s nothing they can do about it. This is very funny to me because the artist himself cast me for the role a week ago. And it wasn’t until an hour into filming that he decided he wanted a light-skinned girl. They said I will be given a compensation fee which isn’t even half the pay for the job but I should be grateful because they could have just told me bye-bye. Throughout everything, the director and the artist refused to address me personally and instead resorted to sending members of the crew to me. They told me to go home, it happens all the time, and light-skinned women are preferable for mvs. They kept telling me how the situation could have been much worse. ‘What if I had started filming before the artiste changed his mind?’ I should be grateful they decided to give me some money because they originally just wanted to pay for my transport alone. I can’t begin to describe how insulted I felt. The fact that this didn’t happen in Europe or Asia makes it all the more hurtful. It’s always baffling to see how outrageously colorist our society and the industry is. I’m a dark-skinned woman and if I don’t fit the aesthetic or meet up to your beauty standards, don’t book me. It’s that simple. There are thousands of light-skinned women to choose from. Models are not accessories. We are not shoes or bags that you can change and replace as you see fit. We are people and we deserve to be treated as such. 8am on Sunday, I left my house in Ikeja to the set of a mv at Lekki. Some minutes after noon, the artiste arrived on set and said he changed his mind.

Johnson, a Superintendent of Police, further said: “Miss Atuonah Chioma promised to marry the victim, invited him to Nigeria for visits on several occasions, and convinced him to relocate permanently to Nigeria to live together as husband and wife.
