This deserved a longer and more detailed investigation

I was a private chef in Seychelles at a resort and the waitresses were all models from agencies. One girl was paid 100k and sent home after something happened. It definitely was very dodgy.

I was once invited to a party in Dubai at a fancy hotel. My friend said all the women in the club were models and said you can take any of them home, because they’ve been paid for. Dubai is a really awful place under the surface

The most ridiculous thing is that META knows about this issue but does nothing about it because they are making money from it. There are much worse things happening on Instagram, involving much younger girls, but people are getting banned and arrested for mean jokes, not for human trafficking.

Why do people swear that dubai is the safest city for women when its involved in ao much trafficking cases.

I had a GF who was very beautiful she would do runway modeling in her home country of Ghana. she was constantly put in awkward situations with powerful people and would reject them then one day her manager took her aside and said look if you want to be a successful model this is just something you're going to have to do. Then she quit and worked at getting her masters.

The moment you're asked to give up your mobile phone and passport means it is going to be bad.

People have to realise that the internet is a dreamland. First don’t compare and second, realise you’re lucky to be alive. Go outside and touch some grass😁🌻

Channel4 has really been stepping up their game! My salute to all the investigative journalists out ther💓

You’ll be shocked at the number of girls that do this, it’s not just models, it’s all the IG models… they all get approached

@eisbaros 1 year ago

Dubai has been like this for years… it has a very dark underlying tone!!!

@KayneKawasaki 1 year ago

To finish the narrative, they really needed either to expose ‘Daniel’ and Image agency or be booked for one of their jobs. The documentary doesn’t feel complete.

Music is a bit high in the mix at the start. It's like being at a post apocalyptic rave when I'm just trying to watch a program 😂

I remember when my daughter was a teenager and I wanted her to start modelling. People also encouraged her to try it because of her body and beauty. Thank God we didn’t explore that route. When things don’t happen, sometimes it is protection down the line. She is a dentist now, focusing on her career.
