Gaby and Brad left hearts on the post.

He's been appearing on BA's video channel for three years and only got a video contract in January 2020 of this year.

When he says that he had conversations with "specifically a former coworker," I assume he's talking about Alyse Whitney who's story about Antoni

Off-topic quick question first: Instagram embeds never seem to work for me? Every time they pop up, they're a grey block with a URL link floating like a ghost at the top. Is there a way to fix this?

On-topic comment, kind of: Good idea of making this a protected post, OP.

[tucker]

Do you mean when you try to post imbedded posts or when other people post them and you’re trying to look at them?

If it’s the latter, the same thing happens to me on mobile. I either refresh the page or if it’s in a comment sometimes hitting “thread” so I’m just looking at that one comment can help

Hopefully someone gives you a better answer

[helenrdemeter]

It's the latter. It specifically looks like this hot mess of an embed. Happens both on my mobile and my laptop, so I don't know if it's just a 'cursed technology vibes' thing or something else.

But I will try your method on mobile next time I'm on my phone. Thanks for that tip! I just want to see stuff without clicking to other sites.

We worked around it for ages by making a new post and putting the insta link in the add media video button because thAt html worked fine.

I haven’t uploaded an insta recently so idk if that solves it...worth a try

[tucker]

I just wanna know the tea with Antoni

He probably just is jealous doesn’t like Antoni but I want to know if it’s juicier

[nicolroco]

antoni beat him for the role in queer eye. thats literally it lol

[tucker]

Is there a source to that or are people just speculating?

I only ask because someone I know who worked on casting for queer eye said he didn’t know who Andy was, but they considered so many people that I’m sure Andy still could have at least submitted for the spot lol

[helenrdemeter]

!!!!!!!!

Can I ask who else was considered for the roles or who were the top picks? I always find casting trivia fascinating.

a locked post?

[petecarl]

Accident. idk how to unlock it.

eta: figured out how to unlock it.

[lawofcosines]

Jesus Christ, if Andy couldn't get a contract until THIS YEAR, is there hope at BA?

(This is not an excuse for what he did Alyse Whitney btw.)

[tucker]

It’s pretty crazy that it took Andy almost three years to make money for the videos

Seems like the one who was probably making the most money was Claire because as far as I know she was the only one who walked away from the company and then got hired on contract just for the videos (I think maybe Carla did they too to work on her cookbook but I’m not sure)

Part of the BA apology tour should be making all the salaries public, then I can get my curiosity satisfied lol

[yeezy]

she's also the one that brings in the most views, so it'd be extra fucked up if they didn't pay her lol

[indy788]

The guy who handled all the salaries and contracts for people on camera resigned last week so I hope there is hope for BA.

[petecarl]

This is the girl who broke the Adam Rapoport brownface news. She's hinted at a lot fo what's going on at BA, so I'm guessing this spreadsheet is real:

apropos of everything here is a spreadsheet of conde employees sharing their salaries and statshttps://t.co/79vGfAx9FH

We’d be like hi Anna
