Following a barrage of negative comments about Holliday’s past — including a racially charged statement that Holliday has apologized for — the photo was deleted. Several individuals confirmed to Revelist that Fenty posted and deleted a headshot of Holliday wearing the brand’s new red lipstick, Stunna. In a video posted Dec. 1, YouTuber Corissa Enneking (aka FatGirlFlow) also spoke about Holliday’s deleted photo and the backlash from “haters.” After the interview went viral, the model made a lengthy apology, which can still be read here, and ever since has often used her social media platform to raise awareness of racism and issues that affect people of color. Fenty is on the right track to change that: All of its promotional content has been tremendous and industry-shaking in terms of representation and diversity. In its debut campaign, the brand featured plus-size model Paloma Elsesser (pictured below) among an inclusive cast. No doubt: A shout-out from Rihanna’s beauty brand could catapult the career of any up-and-coming model in the rarely-seen size 20 and up category. Revelist reached out to Tess Holliday and Fenty Beauty for comment on this story. We will update this post if we hear back from either party.
