A slender and stunning young woman from Nigeria recently became an internet sensation when she shared her frustrations with the modeling industry. In a TikTok video posted by @crisnwana, she candidly expressed her disappointment with modeling agencies rejecting her for not meeting their stringent physical standards of being slender and tall.
In the video, she lamented, “I’ve been told I can’t be a model because I don’t fit their criteria. I’m not considered thin enough, and I’m not tall enough.”
This video immediately ignited a wave of responses from netizens who were baffled and disheartened by the body expectations set by the modeling industry. Many of them admired Crisnwana’s beauty and slim physique, wondering why she was denied opportunities when, in their eyes, she clearly embodied the conventional standards of beauty.
Social media users flocked to the comments section to share their diverse thoughts on the matter.
@Mzposh commented, “Maybe they couldn’t even afford to pay her, and she’s simply perfect the way she is.”
@YoureA_Wanker chimed in with, “I’m 5’10, and they told me I’m not tall enough as well.”
@ODEGAARD speculated, “Perhaps she refused to conform to their demands to maintain her authenticity and stay true to herself. She’s undeniably gorgeous.”
@Charlesdprimordial jokingly quipped, “Did you just spot her on the street or were you acquainted with her before this?”
@Queen li shared her own experience, saying, “They told me the same thing when I was a model, but look at me now – I’ve gained some weight.”
