Because we are talking about celebrity

Yeah I get that. But I would not think all celeberties are googling themselves on a daily basis. That's the PR teams job.

Its been 24 hours and like I said she just did something else for savage. She literally has a REASON to be looking up media response. Its not like she would be randomly googling herself

Her part you can see on her Instagram ( she posted the video) , it was only that.
About the braids well some white models from the Savage show also wore cornrows and stuff, she must feel it's okay to do so as well if they are not getting the heat like she is. Especially considering that she had done cornrows earlier in her career and that look is a favourite of many. The backlash if she knows about it would mean nothing to her if she feels she is in the right

Its the caption mostly in my opinion thats ignorant. Yes, Adriana herself has been pictured with braids alot. Nobody cares that damn much. But to call ANYTHING "urban chic" is damn near the definition of appropriation. Urban has stigma and racism and stuff tied to it. So for her caption to say she is making it chic, means she is making it "fashion" aka positive because of who she is, thats appropriation. I think if anything Adriana is thinking that she comes from a poor area herself in brazil surrounding by people of color, she may think its okay for HER to say that because she wasn't always rich and grew up poor. BUT she has been rich for like 20 years now. How she grew up is irrelevant now, she is now successful and wealthy and so it comes across insensitive to others and tone deaf. Plus, some people may not even know what Adriana life was like before she became wealthy. They just know she is now.
This tweet sums it up (yes people are STILL talking about i)
Its the caption thats really the problem & inconsiderate of people who STILL have to live an inconvenient urban life. Urban life is not "chic", its not glamorous, its not fun, its barely positive. Its honestly wrong and she def disappointed alot of people by not trying to fix it. Its def gonna make people start to doubt what good of a person she is. Because its not a good thing for people to think she doesn't care.
Its insane she apparently doesn't have people who work for her that didn't try to prevent this or fix this.

I agree. I actually said the same thing about another celebrity and ca. Not to mention the wig and the edges were badly done in the first place 😫
I hope she does delete it though. She can't afford to be problematic in her 40s
I went on twitter, the reception of her savage show is really good, almost making people forgive the braids
Everyone on her Instagram are talking about the braids, it was not ok. The wig look so cheap and doesn't mention the cultural appropriation, this is not good for her. Everything was good, but not the braids/wig. Idk why she or her team didn't delete the photo yet.

Because they are either selfish or stupid. You can tell by the captions what Adriana posts and what they post. They made a bad move as a collective and don't want to take responsibility. Probably relying on people "forgetting" about it, which is stupid and clearly not working, she is gaining 1,000 BAD comments on that post everyday. Her savage x posts are NOT gaining that many comments. Anytime Adriana posts something people gonna go on her profile and see that shit. Its not gonna go away unless they do something about. Its basically going viral. There were literally NEWS ARTICLES written about it. They are delusional if they think it wasn't a big deal. Its incredibly odd anyone would let this happen to themselves or their client. I kinda think her team doesn't want to break down ALL the issues with the post to her (because its not just the wig) to spare themselves and everyone behind this. Which is incredibly selfish and stupid to let happen
And I really want to know why Adriana is waiting at the end of her career to become so ignorant and bad with PR. Everybody else worries about how she looks as she gets older, i'm starting to worry about what goes on in her mind as she does. Because before 2018 there was not one damn thing that Adriana did herself that painted her in a "not good" light, but I can't say the same since 2018. Its like she has gotten sloppy about things and doesn't even care. The worst thing is, this is NOT the era to get sloppy about shit.

I mean there were some things. The thing I see brought up the most is from the stuff she said to GQ.
Personally, I'm starting to wonder if she even has a team due to the lack of response to this amount of backlash.
The GQ thing wasn't a BAD deal when she said. That gave her positive press for the most part. Its just the fact that its 2021, so people try make it a problem NOW. But back then that wasn't a real negative issue for her, neither was it ever something people brought up prior to NOW.
She wouldn't be doing these events and stuff, nor the work she has done if she didn't have some kind of team. An active public figure always gonna have someone on their team. Its not the first time Adriana ignored controversy. That DOES seem to have been her thing in the past for messy rumors that weren't her fault and stuff. Or when she says things that were taken out of context. Adriana does have the habit to try to ignore it. Except for the James Charles shit and the "Bullying kendall and gigi hadid shit", why in the hell did she think it was important to respond to that mess and not this is beyond me. Literally GROUPS of people have an issue with that post not just one or two people, and news articles are actually writing about it.
Here is how I feel about Adriana picking and choosing what she ignores and what she fixes, the other things weren't her fault before like the justin beieber and "starved diet" rumors. She didn't intentionally start that. Its okay to ignore things that you didn't start yourself. BUT the thing is, 1. That IG post and caption is clearly her and her team's fault and 2. The ignoring shit does not work anymore. If anything it makes her look worse. People think she doesn't care, and she may not. But thats a poor reflection of her and her values. Thats why I keep saying its 2021, this is not the era to do something messy and then ignore the response and backlash to it. Someone is failing to tell her and/or she is failing to see that. She won't be satisfied until she does something even worse that she won't be able to come back from and that will end up fucking up 20 years worth of having a good career and being known as a good person. Its like Adriana won't understand, until something like that happens. Then it would be too late and it will be very sad/disappointing
@Souled-Out I would think being pro life in 2006 was still controversial. Although yes, it would be a bigger deal to speak against it today.
I am not saying she has no team. She kinda confirmed she is with CAA for her agency. But agency and PR is separate. It's why she used to be with Andrea/Full Picture while with her agency even though they had no affiliation. I also think this needs to be addressed or deleted at least. Not saying she should continue to ignore. But I mean who is her pr team now? Her bf's friend/co worker? If thats all, then she needs to hire someone else asap. A social media team or something cause that dude is using his instagram like is 2013.
All people got out of that GQ interview was that she was a hot virgin. Thats literally it. Like when she gets asked about that interview through the years, and she has so many times, they don't ever bring up the prolife thing, its the virgin thing. That was clearly the focus of that interview and it was not seen as a bad thing. Like I said, people are just NOW bringing it up because people are more concerned with anything problematic linked to a celeb and it honestly is more controversial these days because its been in the news more. 2006 is just not the same as 2021. Which is the best point for all this mess.
I think Adriana doesn't check the comments, because she didn't delete or at least change the legend. She's worst than my grandmother when the subject it's social midia!
I don't think the wig leaning to one side with weird fake edges was the main issue. It was a horrible look and people would have just made fun of it as they have been doing on IG/Twitter. It is the use of the words "urban" and "spirit" as well. I can't remember exactly what she said but Adriana is too damn old and experienced as a model to make such missteps. She needs to hand her social media over and allow people with an understanding of today's climate to run it.
I honestly don’t think she made the caption herself, Adriana’s captions are literally more like her very cheesy, not on the problematic side at all. If not using some quote, she is saying something harmless and cheesy when it comes to her sharing random shots of herself . Examples would be her most recent ig post and the savage posts.

I understand why people questioning her relation with Jazo PR but why her agency? Is it because her controversial post people think she might not with them.
^ I didn't assume that. Adriana's team has always been crappy when it comes to handling her social media. Always. Even when she was with Society. They never did anything that controversial BUT they were never good at handling her social media and actually helping it. I think CAA's purpose is just to book her for events and jobs.
But as the user above said, the OTHER people apart of her team whose job is to make sure her PR is good and social media is good, needs a BETTER understanding of today's climate. Can't be making posts like the one made with that braided wig. Its OBVIOUS there is a disconnect and Adriana either needs to replace people like that, or they must be willing to understand how to navigate being a public figure in 2021
At this point, in which she only attends events related to cinema and almost none related to fashion, it seems quite evident that she is trying to make some contact with people from the film industry, I suppose it was helped or advised by her boyfriend. I have to say that I'm not very confident that she will become a great actress, although I would like her to become one of the best actresses. In my opinion, the vast majority of fashion models who want to play actresses don't usually do well. In the same way that most actresses (or singers or any other type of celebrity) are not usually good fashion models.
