wait... so is this implying Gabi is not paid for test kitchen videos ... despite running the test kitchen?

 

Oh man, I didn't even think of that element of it all. My brain just focused on "Sohla is low woman on totem pole because new". Woooooof (if true).

 

Seriously, if Sohla, Gaby, Priya, Christina, and/or Andy haven’t been paid this entire time they’ve been having them do these BA from home videos then that’s insane.

 

Fuck that he’s got to go

 

Oh boy “Sohla” is trending on Twitter, this is blowing up.

 

Always got the vibe that Rapo was a dick just from his occasional appearances. Get rid of him and anybody who thought it was okay to not pay somebody for their work

 

Oh shit

however this is the correct stance that all of the white test kitchen staff needs to take




Edit: looks like Carla is joining her

 

I truly hope none of them were aware of that happening in the first place (which I find extremely hard to believe). It’s all nice and good to stand up for them now that there’s public pressure but that should’ve been their stance from the start.

 

I imagine Carla knew considering, as food editor, she had the highest position amongst the test kitchen staff. The others I could see not knowing unless they have previously had conversations about it.

But yeah if they already knew they should have done something long before this.

 

Delany joined in with Molly in not doing videos until there is change.

 

Rapo's gone

 

good

 

Fuck that guy. And he better not get a payout. Use the money to lift up the voices of biopic and diversify their staff. Establish a diversity and inclusion board now. Hold everyone accountable.

Fuck.

 

Good but that’s not enough.

Also Brad said he can’t control if they put out videos that they have already recorded but he won’t do anything new until they make changes.

 

Every single white BA content creator who doesn't come out publicly against this should lose their platform as well.

 

Is it weird to anyone else that almost all of this is going down in ephemeral Instagram stories?

I believe Sohla, and I love everyone lining up behind her, but why is all of this in posts which will disappear in 24 hours?

Or am I “old man yelling at cloud” here?

 

When you're a public figure nothing is fleeting, people have been taking screenshots of all these posts. I'd imagine they're doing it there so they can make sure people see it, instagram's algorithm for posts is weird sometimes

 

It's a place they know they have an audience and can speak without being edited or taken out of context.

 

Appreciated, folks. I didn’t think about the possible “BA has access to their socials” angle...

 

Claire asked them to not release any videos that have already been filmed.

 

wonder if the new EIC will be external or from within

 

this has really blown up. some people gotta chill though. saw some tweets trying to out claire as making "20k per episode." guys. claire isn't making 800k+ teaching us how to make gourmet hot pockets. come on lol
