responds to criticism
Gervide called for an answer from Gina Tricot, and they’ve now spoken on Instagram. In a now-disappeared post in Instagram’s story post, the company made it clear that they realize they have a responsibility, and that the topic is important to them.
– My heart is broken

In the past year we have collaborated with Bianca, but also other profiles and models to always be comprehensive and inspiring”, one of the things that they write.

not satisfied
However, Gervide followers believe that Jenna Tricot’s answer falls short.
“That’s really not an answer. The criticism was directed at Gina Tricot, who has moved away from her previous policy of communicating only with people without eating disorders. It’s embarrassing that they chose to bend to criticism in this way,” one follower wrote.
Facing adversity: – Totally wrong
Another agrees and believes that criticism was never directed at individuals.
“Comments aimed at a person? After all, comments target Gina Tricot and question their choice of model,” the person writes.
“The answer is bad. People who don’t follow Bianca then, and don’t know everything about her and her openness about eating disorders? How will they know if you don’t follow her. Anyway, young people are fed unhealthy ideals. I think Bianca is a nice person, so there’s nothing Bad in them,” he writes ter.
Ingroso himself has not commented on the case.
“Infuriatingly humble web fan. Writer. Alcohol geek. Passionate explorer. Evil problem solver. Incurable zombie expert.”
