What is this Marcus Hyde scandal?
Model Sunnaya Nash always loved Marcus Hyde’s photography. When she saw the chance to have the opportunity to shoot with him, she immediately jumped on it. However, Nash was not expecting it to go left as their conversation jumped to her sending Hyde nudes in exchange for a free photoshoot. The model declined, replying that she is “comfortable shooting lingerie and partial nudity”.

Nash posted the conversation on her instagram story and twitter with the hashtag #CancelMarcusHyde. Other women began coming forward that Hyde had them do things that they were uncomfortable with as well. Celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and others noticed the scandal and spoke out on it as well.
Quoted from Kim Kardashian’s Instagram “…. I stand in full support of every women’s right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with. We cannot allow this type of behavior to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out”
