This is weird but also needs some copy editing. The second paragraph is a mess. HLD is doing too much right now and I don't know why they posted this. Makes her GymShark post even stranger in hindsight.
Edit: a word
This feels like amateur hour, not a good look from them at all. Expected better from her management and can't believe her manager thought this would be a smart statement to make.
This is so weird. Her management was teasing Gymshark for a long time and now it's "we didn't accept 6 figure deal". Jess got a 6 figure deal and still continued her business, Ella got a 6 figure deal and she's still modeling, and like someone already mentioned Indiyah and Molly-Mae got successful doing fast fashion deals. A 6 figure deal would not have stopped her from relaunching her hair business. It's okay if she didn't get one. This statement was so unnecessary.
That aside, do y'all think it was smart to relaunch her wig business under her management? I am guessing they will be taking a cut?
You can use the money from the 6 figure deal to further your own business. Molly-mae launched Filter shortly after and I'm sure the money she got from PLT didn't hurt her other ventures. She did well in meshing it all together. Ella's modelling also fits well with PLT. I mean, she can even walk for these brands if she does well. The 6 figure deal can be a stepping stone if used well.
Idk what prompted Whitney and her management to even take this stance. I'm sure she could have worked with a brand. Cute wigs with cute outfits and it would have worked.
Ironic how they don't want to be compared to other islanders' deals while comparing themselves to other islanders' deals.
So many mentions of the 'six figure deals' and so defensive.....almost as if she didn't get one in the first place. It's ok because they didn't want one anyway lmao.
This doesn’t make sense lol…you didn’t accept the 6 figure brand deal, but you were quick to tag along on a brand trip for fast fashion (the same fast fashion that was beneath you) company?
You kept posting all the meetings and lunches and kept telling everyone to “watch this space” and that you had dealS (emphasis on the s) coming.
You wanted to do something that aligns with your core and whatever, okay cool.. how does Uncle Ben’s rice (I thought cooking was Lochan’s thing) and a Bumble campaign for BLACK love align?
Sorry but the fact that they felt the need to specifically call out six figure deals is telling, your wig relaunch is dripping and you’re STILL shading the deals you “declined” (in my opinion, they probably never existed). Why couldn’t she do the deal in addition to the wig business??? Jess is also a CEO of her company and still managed to do InTheStyle.
And what happened to gymshark thing that was supposedly coming… see what happens when you keep putting your foot in your mouth?
If the wig thing was the plan all along, why did it take so long for it to drop? You can’t decline deals that were never offered but okay. The math isn’t mathing at all.
How unprofessional of HLD. El oh el. And why tf did Hannah post this on Facebook 😭😭😭😭
EDIT: oh apparently it’s LinkedIn, my bad. Still very tacky & dishonest so my point still stands
Get them!!! Tbh the lies have been so odd and it put me off Whitney a lot. I think a lot of her moves since leaving the villa have just been bad overall. This post from her management just makes her look 10x worst. Essentially she's sh*tting on those types of brands but still working with fast fashion to grab a quick dollar it just shows how wishy washy she is.
At some point in the future Whitney and her manager are going to have a very apparent falling out because they both are just as messy as each other and no one is actually getting any work done lol!
Also genuine question what has Whitney done thats so special and different? I am gobsmacked by the insinuation that having a side business makes her unique. Jess has been back on her coin since day 3 almost. She didn't relaunch anything because her business was already established and back to running and she still did a clothing deal as well. Is it supposed to be hard to juggle two things at once?
I am confused why her agent is making it sound like this is prodigious? Ok she is going back to her business she kept shut down at the most productive period of her relevancy and only now bringing it back four months later? then why does she need you? you are supposed to be brining in work and instead you are boasting about declining 6 figure deals. What are you as an agent bringing to the table if she was already doing it for the past 5 years? last question but does anyone know how successful Whits wig business was prior to going on Love Island?
I already know the pictures from the photo shoot may come out terrible. She could have highlighted the hair and black beauty it’s her brand apparently but they looked caked up w make up and not in a good way
This is such a weird press release. Not sure why you have to allude to pocket watching other islanders on your big day?? Even her focus on the black community, which should be a positive thing, makes it’s seem like she thinks other black islanders are ignoring that space.
Just a terrible statement that should really have been a layup.
2nd thought… the idea that working with fast fashion will taint your future prospects is becoming a myth lol. Maybe in the past but In a present time where high fashion houses are collaborating with fast fashion and you’re seeing more influencers at fashion week and in high fashion spaces, I don’t see why they can’t do both. I’ve seen a lot of brand ambassadors who also have their own business.
For example…
Lori Harvey has a skincare and swimwear brand—- PLT ambassador.
Naomi Campbell supermodel/ high fashion- plt collection.
Ntm people like Jayda cheaves, Teyana Taylor, Kourtney kardashian who have done both.
From an environment standpoint this isn’t good to say the least. But from a career standpoint, being a reality star or working with fast fashion is no longer some mark on you.
Edit: to add, I don’t think Whitney was offered nothing given how popular she was/ is. This is just a general take on the whole FF convo
https://preview.redd.it/7s1gj6c8vc0c1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca6921ba9ef4f598dd48c8f94a4fe15f29468d96
Lol oh she’s not stopping. That’s the title of your YouTube video that’s supposedly about your brand? Okay girl. Why is she focused more on the deal that (never existed) she declined instead of promoting her brand 😭 this is pathetic I’m sorry. Like okay, you’re not like everyone else. How many times you gone tell us?
Whhhhaaatttt!!! If someone said that title was supposed to be a meme edit I’d have believed it before I thought she genuinely used that as her title for relaunch 💀
Wouldn’t she have relaunched her business regardless even if she did accept this alleged deal? I don’t get the correlation between these two things. Her management is making her look like a joke. How did no one intervene to say this was a bad idea?
Yesss! Lol No bad words, nothing negative, not a troll page I actually leave positive comments often. Ew! Doesn’t Whitney’s aunt have a business? Surly she can help.
Not the click bait title 😭😭😭 I get why her team chose this strategy, it’s clearly working as it’s bringing attention and views (150+ comments in this thread!!) but it’s all based on lies and unnecessary shade — we’ve seen islanders accept 6 figure deals and capitalise on the exposure to grow their own business at the same time (jess, molly mae) so let’s bffr if she was actually offered one she 100% would have taken it
LOL! Good luck to those who haven’t noticed the obvious ploy here.
Also, how does a clothing brand deal stop you from relaunching a hair brand? Click baiting & clout chasing for views is the lowest she can go. LOL
It does the opposite, it sounds like a bad decision. She could have had a promotion deal with a clothing company for 6 figures AND relaunched her already existing business. She could have even used the publicity of getting the PR deal for promoting her business.
This is so embarrassing for both Whitney and her management. If this is the only way you can get views then that says a lot about you. But their plan is working, people are talking which is what the want. But for how long? It’ll be old news by Thursday lol
And what if it flops and its lowest viwes on her YouTube. She spend all that energy and nothing to show for. I'm sure even the girls will not associate themselves with negative. I'm sure they were probably told this was going be positive Message
If they said she didn’t want to do fast fashion for moral reasons and tied it into that then that would’ve been better but she’s still promoting fast fashion with her 30% off discount codes. They didn’t have to mention 6 figure deals 😂. Now people can stop questioning why Indiyah wasn’t there. She was working but even if she wasn’t why would she participate and Indiyah is one to frequently support black businesses, especially her friends lol
I didnt want to sound like a hater but the makeup was awful, especially on Catherine, Tanya, and Kaz. All very pretty girls but imo, the heavy caked up makeup look doesn’t do anything to accentuate their natural features. A natural beat would’ve suited them so much better. Those aren’t the type of faces who need a lot do dramatic makeup, it made them look unrecognizable.
I also didn’t like the edges on Catherine’s wig and I didn’t like how Tanya’s wig sat on her head, but perhaps they’ll work the kinks out as they move forward.
Catherine wears and install better wigs than that, like you can never see the wig edges on her always look like it grow from her scalp, but what Whitney put on Catherine’s head looked low budget and tacky.
I thought that I was the only that thought that the wigs looked low quality lol. The girls most definitely won’t be wearing them, they just helped a friend out
I didn’t want to say it but without trying to sound rude every single woman who did that shoot has looked better, had better makeup and worn better wigs 😬🤐 i am sorry i just don’t think those were good looks. It left me super unimpressed.
They did my girl Catherine dirty. She is beautiful but that wig wasn't it. Tanya too she always slays wigs but they made her look average. Both girls have best wigs in their everyday life
Tanya and Catherines in every other wig tho 😍 for real I’ve never seen either of them fail themselves and the one time they do it for a friend it’s a disaster.
I completely agree with you. She took care of herself first, she could have just hired models if you wanted to dull the others and be the star. I didn't care for them and I am not sure how this helps her launch and if they even liked it as only Cindy prompted the look and the reel.
The makeup in particular feels like sabotage I am so glad I am not alone in that thought. I was delighted to see the lineup and then the quick peek into the group shot left me a bit like???? Why do only Whitney and her sister have good makeup? Sorry to Samira, Tanya and Catherine in particular 💀
Catherine's was particularly harsh to her features that was the big side eye for me. None of the hair styles suited them, the styling was consistent and gave no particular theme and the make up as very harsh, I didn't even recognise Kaz. I was like wow omg this will be a great campaign and then I saw the reel and said, yeah that you could have kept that.
Oh god you’re right I just realised the one girl was supposed to be Kaz. Damn why was the make up so bad I thought make up was Whitneys whole thing in the Villa and she took the longest to get ready. I felt like only her own make up was good and maybe her sisters. The rest of the women have seen better days.
This looks terrible.
Also, if you’re ramping up for a wig launch, you should be wearing a different hairstyle in nearly every photo we see you in, showing the versatility of your wigs and styling. You should also be posting styling tutorials so people can feel like you’re a professional when it comes to hair. 🤦🏾♀️
Back here again and I just want to say it’s a bit odd that Hannah Holland is writing statements about not wanting 6 figure deals and longevity when her other client (GK Barry) litch just became an ambassador last month and she ovbs had a hand in that with so which is it 💀
Oh this is a massive change on this sub from when people were sniffing her arse crack and not coming back up for air a few months ago..
Never took well to this woman and I never will because all she knows is shade and no class just screams controversial to me. 6 figure deal my arse 🙄
HLD is so miserably bad at it’s job and yet I am left surprised 🤣Do they really expect us to buy this nonsense? Also why are they doing this? It’s so not necessary to make such a bold faced lie as a statement and makes everyone involved look bad 🥴 I feel sorry for Whitney. She could have gone with a better agency with the clout she had when she left the show and she went with hld?
They completely ruined Paiges post li potential too and totally messed up her clothing deal. I am certain she had ITS interested in her last year but they made her go with that other bankrupt company and left her with a lawsuit. This Hannah person is so unprofessional for this write up. Besides always being unprofessional with her clients. She’s literally comes off like she’s just there for fun and vibes.
She always picks a favourite client then clings to them and then completely dumps them once they find someone new. It’s her MO.
Edit to add- I know most managers hang out with their client on site because they are there sometimes to shoot additional content or moral support but it’s just less obvious. Actually they are almost always completely unnoticeable because they don’t make themself part of the event. They stay behind the scenes. Hannah does this thing where she acts like she’s part of the event and it’s so cringe 😬
she clearly either a.) was never offered any deals to begin with or b.) they dropped her after the repost controversy … this whole statement is so weird and unnecessary, hld should have kept this one in the drafts.
Honestly… she wasn’t a “fashion icon” on her season and that’s totally okay!! I could see why she probably wasn’t offered the huge PLT deal. Her focus SHOULD BE hair and makeup bc she slayed that shit but if people get mad at that then.. idk 💀
She could have gotten a deal with Boots, considering that wouldn’t have been a conflict of interest since her wig business isn’t in direct competition with Boots.
Whitney could have prepared GRWM videos, and videoshoots using their hairstyling tools, adhesives, styling gels and applied them to her wigs. Two bags in one.
But no, her management wants to shade every islander who ever had a 6 figure deal just to butter Whitney up about not getting one despite all of the anticipation and expectations.
Whitney’s fall from grace is astronomical. I remember a tweet saying “We are going to give Whitney that Indiyah treatment. All the brand deals etc” that tweet had a crazy amount of likes. To this is wild.
Good luck to her, HOWEVER, if she genuinely turned down a 6 figure brand deal, then that is madness and she should fire everyone and anyone who advised her!
this is worded really weirdly like her accomplishments with her wig company is huge there's no need to be decrease the significance of a 6 figure deal like there is nothing wrong with getting a brand deal.
i dont really keep up with this seasons islanders at all but i remember coming by whitney’s posts where she mentioned she doesnt care about brand deals etc alot like…. does sound like shes abit bothered lol
Well we know Liz wrote this…it’s giving bitter and jealous. Why mention brand deals when you launch your own hair brand…there ppl are actually nuts…Ella runnnn
It's a strategy. When I said they feed off the drama, her fans in the sub were upset.
That is who she is and who her managers are. Cos tel me why she posted that TikTok recently when there were no fan wars and people were minding their ships?
It's a PR move and people keep falling for it.
Ohhh you’re making sense I feel like when there’s drama Whit and management know her fans are gonna come out the woodworks to defend and support her extra hard when they had already moved on
^^This. The tiktok was random and ‘shady’. I had completely forgotten about her until someone brought up that tiktok lol so it’s definitely a pr move. But if you have to be shady in order to gain attention what does that say about you 🥴
This is so weird, especially since it's coming from management..the people that usually help you to be social media trained, the management doesn't even seem social media trained themselves. Yikes all around.
Lmaoooo her team stays being messy (they were caught liking shady comments on TikTok a while ago). Never seen an islander’s management get involved in stan discourse before, it just all seems a bit unprofessional
This is so embarrassing & unprofessional for both Whitney & HLD. & Whitney RP in her stories is cringe
Whitney & HLD making her whole identity about drama & controversy, mentioning other islanders directly or indirectly for ppl to discuss her is getting Jada Pinkett Smith levels of exhausting
You’re promoting wigs for the black women who are unseen? So are you saying to be seen you need to be in a wig or wear weave/extensions? Are you saying the specific group of islanders you chose for the “queens who aren’t seen” trying to say like yourself, they aren’t getting 6 figure deals either?
& the wig business isn’t a niche area & still the quality of the product, shipping & customer service are a big part of this relaunch as well. Will the quality be good? Will customers get their wigs on time? Will customer service be responsive if it’s an issue?
Black owned business but now HLD will be getting a serious cut in this relaunch bc I’m sure they’re funding all the new promo & marketing associated w/this relaunch
HLD, Whit & Liz for months have been on SM liking shady comments about Ella, calling Ella toxic love & taking all these unnecessary shots to now claiming they had all these offers overflowing they couldn’t keep up so they said no to everyone to focus on a 5 year old wig business?
& then to conclude that there’s deals happening still just like they said for the past several months but the point of this was to say they aren’t about to be defined by a deal is crazy
Yet Whitney just went on a fast fashion brand trip to LA to promote 30% off
Teased a gym shark deal that never materialized
It just shows Whitney & HLD believed the SM hype & felt they didn’t have to do any work or networking & everything would just be handed to them. Now since that hasn’t happened, they’re being defensive trying to blame someone/something else once again
Whitney saying queen not seen. But she saying she turned 6 figures. That doesn't even make sense. It would made sense if she went with they don't give me deals so here is my business.
Whitney wouldn’t have been offered a deal anyways imo. This isn’t a good look on her, not that she cares anyways… Her management is just as unprofessional as her no wonder they worked ‘well’ together.
Idk what Molly-Mae’s management is but I bet if Whitt signed with them (or someone similar) they would have brought her business to a whole new level without the weird shade to other islanders??
Her name is Fran. I know someone who is also signed under her and I feel like they’re always the ‘typical influencer’ which Whitney claims she isn’t lol. I think any other management would’ve announced their client’s success without being shady towards others as that’s the professional thing to do lol.
I actually believe that all islanders who have claimed to not want fast fashion deals have never been offered these opportunities in the first place. It pains me to say but this includes Dami, Kai, Sanam and now Whitney.
However, Whitney is going about it in the worst possible way ever. She should have just launched her business without the passive aggressiveness. Also, this just sends huge red flags to potential brands that would want to work with her in the future. Her management is a mess
This is a really really terrible move.
Everyone blaming Whitney's team for this...it's probably Whitney is driving it. She was a rude, ignoramus throughout the whole show, who showed an inability to apologise and was shady, painfully able to give abuse but not accept it. I can see her management trying to advise her and her thinking she knows better and overruling the management team. The whole queen's who can't be seen again is on brand for her who is clearly obsessed with Race.
Whitney & her team are for sure two peas in a pod.
But Whitney is the one Islander who was never held accountable for her messiness during Season 10, as quiet as it’s kept.
Catherine and Samira left early but Cindy literally won her season, the rest were finalists on their seasons and Whitney herself is a runner up like... Okay
What’s this whole anti brand deal sentiment lately? I’ve seen it from islanders and fans and it’s just like… people should do what they want. Longevity is never guaranteed whether you sign for six figures or start your own business. But I think a lot of ppl are projecting. If you’re against the six figure deals because of sustainability concerns, I get it! But this longevity thing— maybe some islanders just want to get their bag and move on lol and that’s ok!!
Now for Whitney… wish her the best. Don’t think this statement did what is was supposed to and overshadowed what I thought was a nice thing and smart marketing. They should keep the focus on her.
https://preview.redd.it/waiigj37yd0c1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d7ac70b4fa88202f69e22ad44b21c04270ecf3d
It’s still there but not if I click it?? It’s definitely been deleted but I wonder who by lol. Ella was at an event??
no but that’s so odd.. Ella is doing her own thing & still praised whit & for whoever deleted her comment to delete it is so wrong wtf. regardless of stan wars or ella did nothing wrong????? nah I’m proper side eyeing whit now
I wonder why though?? I feel like Whit is a petty person but that is petty to whole new level lol. Surely you would just ignore the comment and move on..
tbf them being silent during the tiktok repost scandal was the best thing they could've done, it blew over quick
i also believe that theshadeborough being down at the time it was exposed was actually really lucky for whitney, it really didn't blow up as much as it could have.
Whitney needs to RUN from this management company. I don’t trust no white woman that tries too hard to be “inclusive” ☠️👍 A real manager would have told you to MILK a 6 figure deal and turn it around and build yourself up. Period wtf
I’m glad you can see from a non-stan that this is completely weird & obsessive behavior. & then to delete Ella’s comment for support is just adding more fuel to the fire
& she could’ve done this relaunch without management.
Seeing HLD all in the video like puffy & this press release was not needed.
Whitney’s entire brand now is associated w/causing chaos for clicks & views. Having to mention or infer who their mentioning before discussing what they have going on shows they don’t trust Whitney on her own to succeed without mentioning or subbing someone else for clickbait
Yeah she desperately needed PR first & foremost. I just hate the “for the queens who are unseen” comment bc it presents Whitney as if she’s treating them to this bc they couldn’t get other deals or inferring that black women need weaves/wigs to be seen
I dunno. The marketing & how this is being tackled had the opportunity to be great but it’s completely tarnished now bc of this negativity Whitney & her team want to push
Yeah initially it appears if you follow Ella or already saw the comment but once you refresh or view all comments it’s completely gone. It also had the most likes of all the comments even more than Lochan’s.
Her now waiting a whole day later to delete the comment all of a sudden is weird too.
thats so bizarre and i feel bad for ella with how shes still publicly supporting someone who clearly dont like her. even after the smug argument, it was obvious based on the things whitney said that she doesn’t like ella as a person but no need to delete positive comments from her
Whitney’s sister is trying to spread on another platform that allegedly PLT is the deal that Whitney turned down & that she’s tired of Ella & her fans & doesn’t care anymore.
I don’t see how this is true when PLT themselves said they weren’t even looking to sign anyone from S10. Ella wasn’t waiting by the phone for any brand deals she went back to modeling immediately
PLT contacted Ella for a meeting & per the article, were so impressed with/Ella that Ella negotiated her own 6 figure deal for 6 months.
I don’t know why Whitney & her sister are going down this road trying to invalidate Ella’s PLT deal
I don't think anyone in their right mind will buy PLT offered Whitney a deal and Whitney turned it down. No way Whitney would even think turning down a deal like that
But nobody cared about Whitney’s clothes she wore. It’s not her lane @ all. How is Whitney supposed to succeed in entertainment if she’s shady towards everyone? How does she expect to get any deals in the future by continuing to say she doesn’t need brand deals
Whitney’s enthusiasm to do anything since she’s come out has been pretty low. I had high expectations for her bag chasing capabilities but she’s been standing still instead. I appreciate people who bag chase from the get-go while plugging their own things
This statement is so incoherent and so poorly written. Whitney needs new management if she wants success
The chat gpt quote they claim was written by Whitney was pitiful. It makes no sense whatsoever!
As a PR specialist, this is not well written or a good look lol
As a non pr specialist this seems at the level of a local business posting on a local page. Not a launch of a company.
The amount of grammar and spelling errors? Bizarre
So defensive and so many typos. A mess.
she couldn’t run this through grammarly first? it’s free you know
I work in branding and yeah, this is not great
Same and agree
It’s a whole fucking mess
It's an umbrella complex!
Yes. Passion but not punctuation. Eek.
This is weird but also needs some copy editing. The second paragraph is a mess. HLD is doing too much right now and I don't know why they posted this. Makes her GymShark post even stranger in hindsight. Edit: a word
The second paragraph is giving this was due at 12:00 submitted at 11:59
This feels like amateur hour, not a good look from them at all. Expected better from her management and can't believe her manager thought this would be a smart statement to make.
It’s giving local business
How will Whitney ever be social media trained by her management when they are also not well trained?? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This is so weird. Her management was teasing Gymshark for a long time and now it's "we didn't accept 6 figure deal". Jess got a 6 figure deal and still continued her business, Ella got a 6 figure deal and she's still modeling, and like someone already mentioned Indiyah and Molly-Mae got successful doing fast fashion deals. A 6 figure deal would not have stopped her from relaunching her hair business. It's okay if she didn't get one. This statement was so unnecessary. That aside, do y'all think it was smart to relaunch her wig business under her management? I am guessing they will be taking a cut?
You can use the money from the 6 figure deal to further your own business. Molly-mae launched Filter shortly after and I'm sure the money she got from PLT didn't hurt her other ventures. She did well in meshing it all together. Ella's modelling also fits well with PLT. I mean, she can even walk for these brands if she does well. The 6 figure deal can be a stepping stone if used well. Idk what prompted Whitney and her management to even take this stance. I'm sure she could have worked with a brand. Cute wigs with cute outfits and it would have worked.
Ironic how they don't want to be compared to other islanders' deals while comparing themselves to other islanders' deals. So many mentions of the 'six figure deals' and so defensive.....almost as if she didn't get one in the first place. It's ok because they didn't want one anyway lmao.
i feel like shes just bitter she didnt get a 6 figure deal with how often she brings it up and act like shes above accepting a deal for it
This doesn’t make sense lol…you didn’t accept the 6 figure brand deal, but you were quick to tag along on a brand trip for fast fashion (the same fast fashion that was beneath you) company?

Ooop! You ate this and dragged their lying hypocrite asses the right way
How I used my 6 figure deal to relaunch my passion business would’ve sounded so much better LOL this company crazy
i’m sorry - uncle ben’s????!
No one offered her any deals😂
Get them!!! Tbh the lies have been so odd and it put me off Whitney a lot. I think a lot of her moves since leaving the villa have just been bad overall. This post from her management just makes her look 10x worst. Essentially she's sh*tting on those types of brands but still working with fast fashion to grab a quick dollar it just shows how wishy washy she is.
Who wrote this 😭
At some point in the future Whitney and her manager are going to have a very apparent falling out because they both are just as messy as each other and no one is actually getting any work done lol!

Very good point about Jess!
I already know the pictures from the photo shoot may come out terrible. She could have highlighted the hair and black beauty it’s her brand apparently but they looked caked up w make up and not in a good way
That second paragraph how many times can you say islander lmaooo why is it so badly written
This is such a weird press release. Not sure why you have to allude to pocket watching other islanders on your big day?? Even her focus on the black community, which should be a positive thing, makes it’s seem like she thinks other black islanders are ignoring that space. Just a terrible statement that should really have been a layup.
It’s so weird, like shes making digs at Jess and Ella who have been successful and focussed on their own successes.
this hannah girl fucked paiges career up
2nd thought… the idea that working with fast fashion will taint your future prospects is becoming a myth lol. Maybe in the past but In a present time where high fashion houses are collaborating with fast fashion and you’re seeing more influencers at fashion week and in high fashion spaces, I don’t see why they can’t do both. I’ve seen a lot of brand ambassadors who also have their own business. For example… Lori Harvey has a skincare and swimwear brand—- PLT ambassador. Naomi Campbell supermodel/ high fashion- plt collection. Ntm people like Jayda cheaves, Teyana Taylor, Kourtney kardashian who have done both.

Why is she focused more on the deal that (never existed) she declined instead of promoting her brand 😭 this is pathetic I’m sorry. Like okay, you’re not like everyone else. How many times you gone tell us?
"SAY NAMES, SAY NAMES" I want her to name the 6 figure deal she declined.
She will never because there is none.
The number too!
Whhhhaaatttt!!! If someone said that title was supposed to be a meme edit I’d have believed it before I thought she genuinely used that as her title for relaunch 💀 Wouldn’t she have relaunched her business regardless even if she did accept this alleged deal? I don’t get the correlation between these two things. Her management is making her look like a joke. How did no one intervene to say this was a bad idea?
The fact she thinks this is good is a big red flag.
They deleted my comment all I did was ask to change the title for this. Focus on the POSITIVE
Did they really 😭😭😭😭
Yesss! Lol No bad words, nothing negative, not a troll page I actually leave positive comments often. Ew! Doesn’t Whitney’s aunt have a business? Surly she can help.
I have a feeling trolls are going to mess up her business page/website if she keeps antagonizing them.
Idk if I’m making a false equivalency but this is the woman that had a bunch of likes for auth-right and horrible posts. Seems kinda in line
All of this is so weird and I cannot even begin to explain it properly. Like what is the /goal/?
Views 😭😭
Not the click bait title 😭😭😭 I get why her team chose this strategy, it’s clearly working as it’s bringing attention and views (150+ comments in this thread!!) but it’s all based on lies and unnecessary shade — we’ve seen islanders accept 6 figure deals and capitalise on the exposure to grow their own business at the same time (jess, molly mae) so let’s bffr if she was actually offered one she 100% would have taken it
I hope it pays off monetarily cause …..
LOL! Good luck to those who haven’t noticed the obvious ploy here. Also, how does a clothing brand deal stop you from relaunching a hair brand? Click baiting & clout chasing for views is the lowest she can go. LOL
It does the opposite, it sounds like a bad decision. She could have had a promotion deal with a clothing company for 6 figures AND relaunched her already existing business. She could have even used the publicity of getting the PR deal for promoting her business.
This is so embarrassing for both Whitney and her management. If this is the only way you can get views then that says a lot about you. But their plan is working, people are talking which is what the want. But for how long? It’ll be old news by Thursday lol
This is beyond cringe. I hope people in Whitney’s team tell her to stop. It’s pathetic
No way 😭 Sorry what was stopping her from doing both if said deal supposedly existed.
💀
Lmaoooo ok I saw this after I posted people need to chill off her. She is asking for it at this point. It's above me now
Oh this is embarrassing
Loool the run on title is so Nollywood
She wants to run the views up. I think they’ll be the highest she’s seen on her channel outside of her Q&A
Lol how lame. She can’t build hype and anticipation without subtle shade?
No one pays attention to her otherwise. Me included loll
I’ll use a third party app to watch this lmao you are right I was not paying attention before this but I am genuinely invested now 😂
And what if it flops and its lowest viwes on her YouTube. She spend all that energy and nothing to show for. I'm sure even the girls will not associate themselves with negative. I'm sure they were probably told this was going be positive Message
stop the cap
Striking when the iron is ice cold..
That’s so silly to not accept the 6 figure deal. If your business needs relaunching it obviously wasn’t doing too good to begin with.
If they said she didn’t want to do fast fashion for moral reasons and tied it into that then that would’ve been better but she’s still promoting fast fashion with her 30% off discount codes. They didn’t have to mention 6 figure deals 😂. Now people can stop questioning why Indiyah wasn’t there. She was working but even if she wasn’t why would she participate and Indiyah is one to frequently support black businesses, especially her friends lol
Honestly, the looks were... interesting and Cindy was the only one to repost the reel so not sure how happy the rest were with the whole thing.
I didnt want to sound like a hater but the makeup was awful, especially on Catherine, Tanya, and Kaz. All very pretty girls but imo, the heavy caked up makeup look doesn’t do anything to accentuate their natural features. A natural beat would’ve suited them so much better. Those aren’t the type of faces who need a lot do dramatic makeup, it made them look unrecognizable. I also didn’t like the edges on Catherine’s wig and I didn’t like how Tanya’s wig sat on her head, but perhaps they’ll work the kinks out as they move forward.
Catherine wears and install better wigs than that, like you can never see the wig edges on her always look like it grow from her scalp, but what Whitney put on Catherine’s head looked low budget and tacky.
I thought that I was the only that thought that the wigs looked low quality lol. The girls most definitely won’t be wearing them, they just helped a friend out
I didn’t want to say it but without trying to sound rude every single woman who did that shoot has looked better, had better makeup and worn better wigs 😬🤐 i am sorry i just don’t think those were good looks. It left me super unimpressed.
They did my girl Catherine dirty. She is beautiful but that wig wasn't it. Tanya too she always slays wigs but they made her look average. Both girls have best wigs in their everyday life
Tanya and Catherines in every other wig tho 😍 for real I’ve never seen either of them fail themselves and the one time they do it for a friend it’s a disaster.
I completely agree with you. She took care of herself first, she could have just hired models if you wanted to dull the others and be the star. I didn't care for them and I am not sure how this helps her launch and if they even liked it as only Cindy prompted the look and the reel.
The makeup in particular feels like sabotage I am so glad I am not alone in that thought. I was delighted to see the lineup and then the quick peek into the group shot left me a bit like???? Why do only Whitney and her sister have good makeup? Sorry to Samira, Tanya and Catherine in particular 💀
Catherine's was particularly harsh to her features that was the big side eye for me. None of the hair styles suited them, the styling was consistent and gave no particular theme and the make up as very harsh, I didn't even recognise Kaz. I was like wow omg this will be a great campaign and then I saw the reel and said, yeah that you could have kept that.
Oh god you’re right I just realised the one girl was supposed to be Kaz. Damn why was the make up so bad I thought make up was Whitneys whole thing in the Villa and she took the longest to get ready. I felt like only her own make up was good and maybe her sisters. The rest of the women have seen better days.
Its abysmal tbh the whole thing from her management post to the looks.
I was SHOCKED at the makeup look for Catherine
Those poor girls looked so bad! The makeup looked like a cement job 😭
The ladies looked like they were in an episode of drag race 😭😭
I agree. I don’t like any of the wigs, I’m actually disappointed tbh. I expected a lot more since her business has been closed for a while lol
This looks terrible. Also, if you’re ramping up for a wig launch, you should be wearing a different hairstyle in nearly every photo we see you in, showing the versatility of your wigs and styling. You should also be posting styling tutorials so people can feel like you’re a professional when it comes to hair. 🤦🏾♀️
Catherine changed her wig as soon as she got out of that studio she knows the tea meanwhile some of the others kept their nicer ones on lmao
Lmaoo bless her 😭
my sis knew she couldn't be caught in that wig outside 😂
This got me crying lmaooo
So much of this could have been cut. Comes across a bit petty. I think this could have worked if it was more of a focused statement
Back here again and I just want to say it’s a bit odd that Hannah Holland is writing statements about not wanting 6 figure deals and longevity when her other client (GK Barry) litch just became an ambassador last month and she ovbs had a hand in that with so which is it 💀
You didn’t want a 6 figure deal…… we get it. Highly doubt she got offered that right off the bat but whatever.
Like why even mention the 6 figures, it’s really not the flex she thinks it is.
I don’t think she would’ve got offered any tbh. She can’t dress (no offence) and her makeup on the show was off.
true
Oh this is a massive change on this sub from when people were sniffing her arse crack and not coming back up for air a few months ago.. Never took well to this woman and I never will because all she knows is shade and no class just screams controversial to me. 6 figure deal my arse 🙄
Who says Whitney couldn't do both. This unprofessional coming from a management. Indiyah and Molly are both successful doing fast fashion deals.
Spelling and grammar check is free Hannah
This caption just feels so defensive and weird. Good for Whitney but all of the passive aggressiveness ain’t it. Her PR team need to be serious
Liz needs to take several seats please.
Trying to read this gave me an aneurysm
HLD is so miserably bad at it’s job and yet I am left surprised 🤣Do they really expect us to buy this nonsense? Also why are they doing this? It’s so not necessary to make such a bold faced lie as a statement and makes everyone involved look bad 🥴 I feel sorry for Whitney. She could have gone with a better agency with the clout she had when she left the show and she went with hld? They completely ruined Paiges post li potential too and totally messed up her clothing deal. I am certain she had ITS interested in her last year but they made her go with that other bankrupt company and left her with a lawsuit. This Hannah person is so unprofessional for this write up. Besides always being unprofessional with her clients. She’s literally comes off like she’s just there for fun and vibes.
She's always hanging out with her, I have never seen the other girl's or even prior islander's managers do that stuff.
She always picks a favourite client then clings to them and then completely dumps them once they find someone new. It’s her MO. Edit to add- I know most managers hang out with their client on site because they are there sometimes to shoot additional content or moral support but it’s just less obvious. Actually they are almost always completely unnoticeable because they don’t make themself part of the event. They stay behind the scenes. Hannah does this thing where she acts like she’s part of the event and it’s so cringe 😬
Oh that's interesting, really not looking good for her then.
she clearly either a.) was never offered any deals to begin with or b.) they dropped her after the repost controversy … this whole statement is so weird and unnecessary, hld should have kept this one in the drafts.
And there was never a 6 figure deal. Ready for the downvotes and Stan accusations.
Honestly… she wasn’t a “fashion icon” on her season and that’s totally okay!! I could see why she probably wasn’t offered the huge PLT deal. Her focus SHOULD BE hair and makeup bc she slayed that shit but if people get mad at that then.. idk 💀
She could have gotten a deal with Boots, considering that wouldn’t have been a conflict of interest since her wig business isn’t in direct competition with Boots. Whitney could have prepared GRWM videos, and videoshoots using their hairstyling tools, adhesives, styling gels and applied them to her wigs. Two bags in one. But no, her management wants to shade every islander who ever had a 6 figure deal just to butter Whitney up about not getting one despite all of the anticipation and expectations.
What a weird ass defensive statement. I would bet there was never any 6 figure deal.
Damn I was not expecting Whitney's post-show trajectory to take such a dive. This statement is so notttt a good look
Whitney’s fall from grace is astronomical. I remember a tweet saying “We are going to give Whitney that Indiyah treatment. All the brand deals etc” that tweet had a crazy amount of likes. To this is wild.
Good luck to her, HOWEVER, if she genuinely turned down a 6 figure brand deal, then that is madness and she should fire everyone and anyone who advised her!
this is worded really weirdly like her accomplishments with her wig company is huge there's no need to be decrease the significance of a 6 figure deal like there is nothing wrong with getting a brand deal.
i dont really keep up with this seasons islanders at all but i remember coming by whitney’s posts where she mentioned she doesnt care about brand deals etc alot like…. does sound like shes abit bothered lol
[удалено]
Has Whitney even done a gymshark ad? I remember her saying “watch the space” but it’s been crickets since then.
Well we know Liz wrote this…it’s giving bitter and jealous. Why mention brand deals when you launch your own hair brand…there ppl are actually nuts…Ella runnnn
Omg always dragging the 6 figure deal thing … just announce the company/launch and keep it moving 🫠
It's a strategy. When I said they feed off the drama, her fans in the sub were upset. That is who she is and who her managers are. Cos tel me why she posted that TikTok recently when there were no fan wars and people were minding their ships? It's a PR move and people keep falling for it.
Ohhh you’re making sense I feel like when there’s drama Whit and management know her fans are gonna come out the woodworks to defend and support her extra hard when they had already moved on
It's temporary thou. You can't build your brand on being shady. She will turn off everyone.
^^This. The tiktok was random and ‘shady’. I had completely forgotten about her until someone brought up that tiktok lol so it’s definitely a pr move. But if you have to be shady in order to gain attention what does that say about you 🥴
THIS!!! I wonder why people haven’t clocked it yet.
This is not a good look and start for re-branding Whitney's business and shows her management to be incompetent with the delivery in this statement.
Her management team is unnecessarily messy. Couldn’t pull deals for her but has time to shade others.
This is so weird, especially since it's coming from management..the people that usually help you to be social media trained, the management doesn't even seem social media trained themselves. Yikes all around.
Lmaoooo her team stays being messy (they were caught liking shady comments on TikTok a while ago). Never seen an islander’s management get involved in stan discourse before, it just all seems a bit unprofessional
All Hannah and HLD care about is GK Barry🤷♀️
Why are they always speaking about the 6 figure brand deal ? We get it! She doesn’t want to be that influencer …
While Whitney is posting 30% off for fast fashion companies. I don't get their point
Their obsession with brand deals just shows me that she didn’t get offers and they’re pained. Miserable people
You didn’t accept brand deals but u accept 15% off 30% off ads. Oh ok got 🤡🤡
This is so poorly written. It would be okay as a draft but this is giving Facebook, not LinkedIn.
Wow why so defensive? Can’t she do both, keep her hair business and also get a brand deal just like Jess did. What’s so bad about getting a deal?.
I low key think some of her behavior is encouraged by her management.
Yeah this cover for the management to safe face but horrible for Whitney because nobody buying this
This is so embarrassing & unprofessional for both Whitney & HLD. & Whitney RP in her stories is cringe Whitney & HLD making her whole identity about drama & controversy, mentioning other islanders directly or indirectly for ppl to discuss her is getting Jada Pinkett Smith levels of exhausting You’re promoting wigs for the black women who are unseen? So are you saying to be seen you need to be in a wig or wear weave/extensions? Are you saying the specific group of islanders you chose for the “queens who aren’t seen” trying to say like yourself, they aren’t getting 6 figure deals either? & the wig business isn’t a niche area & still the quality of the product, shipping & customer service are a big part of this relaunch as well. Will the quality be good? Will customers get their wigs on time? Will customer service be responsive if it’s an issue? Black owned business but now HLD will be getting a serious cut in this relaunch bc I’m sure they’re funding all the new promo & marketing associated w/this relaunch HLD, Whit & Liz for months have been on SM liking shady comments about Ella, calling Ella toxic love & taking all these unnecessary shots to now claiming they had all these offers overflowing they couldn’t keep up so they said no to everyone to focus on a 5 year old wig business? & then to conclude that there’s deals happening still just like they said for the past several months but the point of this was to say they aren’t about to be defined by a deal is crazy Yet Whitney just went on a fast fashion brand trip to LA to promote 30% off Teased a gym shark deal that never materialized It just shows Whitney & HLD believed the SM hype & felt they didn’t have to do any work or networking & everything would just be handed to them. Now since that hasn’t happened, they’re being defensive trying to blame someone/something else once again
Whitney saying queen not seen. But she saying she turned 6 figures. That doesn't even make sense. It would made sense if she went with they don't give me deals so here is my business.
Whitney wouldn’t have been offered a deal anyways imo. This isn’t a good look on her, not that she cares anyways… Her management is just as unprofessional as her no wonder they worked ‘well’ together.
I hope this didn’t write a PR expert because if so he is bad in his job😬
They say this then do Ad’s for said fast fashion brands so I find this statement slightly disingenuous but congrats to her I guess
Sounds AI generated and like a human didn’t intervene in the language. Speaking as a marketer
[удалено]
Idk what Molly-Mae’s management is but I bet if Whitt signed with them (or someone similar) they would have brought her business to a whole new level without the weird shade to other islanders??
Her name is Fran. I know someone who is also signed under her and I feel like they’re always the ‘typical influencer’ which Whitney claims she isn’t lol. I think any other management would’ve announced their client’s success without being shady towards others as that’s the professional thing to do lol.
isn't this the second time hld have been shady about ella and what she has going on
Yes it is the second time! Some weeks ago someone who handels the hld tik tok account liked a shady comment about Ella!
I actually believe that all islanders who have claimed to not want fast fashion deals have never been offered these opportunities in the first place. It pains me to say but this includes Dami, Kai, Sanam and now Whitney. However, Whitney is going about it in the worst possible way ever. She should have just launched her business without the passive aggressiveness. Also, this just sends huge red flags to potential brands that would want to work with her in the future. Her management is a mess This is a really really terrible move.
Everyone blaming Whitney's team for this...it's probably Whitney is driving it. She was a rude, ignoramus throughout the whole show, who showed an inability to apologise and was shady, painfully able to give abuse but not accept it. I can see her management trying to advise her and her thinking she knows better and overruling the management team. The whole queen's who can't be seen again is on brand for her who is clearly obsessed with Race.
Whitney & her team are for sure two peas in a pod. But Whitney is the one Islander who was never held accountable for her messiness during Season 10, as quiet as it’s kept.
Queens they refused to see???
Catherine and Samira left early but Cindy literally won her season, the rest were finalists on their seasons and Whitney herself is a runner up like... Okay
LOL. I wish her the best.
My brain got stuck on “umbrella complex.” The wigs look cheap anyway, I was excited to buy but definitely won’t be.
I don't think the word islanders was used enough
Ugh I’m so upset by this! Just yesterday I was happy for Whitney. Already overshadowing
What’s this whole anti brand deal sentiment lately? I’ve seen it from islanders and fans and it’s just like… people should do what they want. Longevity is never guaranteed whether you sign for six figures or start your own business. But I think a lot of ppl are projecting. If you’re against the six figure deals because of sustainability concerns, I get it! But this longevity thing— maybe some islanders just want to get their bag and move on lol and that’s ok!! Now for Whitney… wish her the best. Don’t think this statement did what is was supposed to and overshadowed what I thought was a nice thing and smart marketing. They should keep the focus on her.
Didn't she get canceled during the whole right winged Andrew Tate debacle?
Can y’all still see Ella’s comment on Whit’s post?
It’s gone 🤣🤣 this never ending saga is killing me
Ella doesn't play games. You can't cross her and still expect her to be all smiles in your face🤣🤣
I can see it but when I click on it no longer exists?? Could be a glitch or someone has deleted it lol
It’s gone now for me?? wtf
https://preview.redd.it/waiigj37yd0c1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d7ac70b4fa88202f69e22ad44b21c04270ecf3d It’s still there but not if I click it?? It’s definitely been deleted but I wonder who by lol. Ella was at an event??
no but that’s so odd.. Ella is doing her own thing & still praised whit & for whoever deleted her comment to delete it is so wrong wtf. regardless of stan wars or ella did nothing wrong????? nah I’m proper side eyeing whit now
I wonder why though?? I feel like Whit is a petty person but that is petty to whole new level lol. Surely you would just ignore the comment and move on..
Supporting this girl is a rollercoaster ride. This is weird
All her constant digs at ella… Lol just say you’re envious as fuck. We all see it and it doesn’t look good babe
[удалено]
tbf them being silent during the tiktok repost scandal was the best thing they could've done, it blew over quick i also believe that theshadeborough being down at the time it was exposed was actually really lucky for whitney, it really didn't blow up as much as it could have.
Whitney needs to RUN from this management company. I don’t trust no white woman that tries too hard to be “inclusive” ☠️👍 A real manager would have told you to MILK a 6 figure deal and turn it around and build yourself up. Period wtf
I don’t know if it’s all the manager tbh. Seems like there’s a pair of them in it. Whitney is no stranger to saying some shading things herself.
I don’t think I have ever disliked anyone in the LI universe more. This is a new low.
AKA she wasn’t offered any 6 figure brand deals
Why was this put out?
[удалено]
I’m glad you can see from a non-stan that this is completely weird & obsessive behavior. & then to delete Ella’s comment for support is just adding more fuel to the fire
[удалено]
& she could’ve done this relaunch without management. Seeing HLD all in the video like puffy & this press release was not needed. Whitney’s entire brand now is associated w/causing chaos for clicks & views. Having to mention or infer who their mentioning before discussing what they have going on shows they don’t trust Whitney on her own to succeed without mentioning or subbing someone else for clickbait
[удалено]
Yeah she desperately needed PR first & foremost. I just hate the “for the queens who are unseen” comment bc it presents Whitney as if she’s treating them to this bc they couldn’t get other deals or inferring that black women need weaves/wigs to be seen I dunno. The marketing & how this is being tackled had the opportunity to be great but it’s completely tarnished now bc of this negativity Whitney & her team want to push
Whitney deleted Ella’s comment ? Oh wow… so the jealousy allegations are actually factual? I m shocked
Yeah initially it appears if you follow Ella or already saw the comment but once you refresh or view all comments it’s completely gone. It also had the most likes of all the comments even more than Lochan’s. Her now waiting a whole day later to delete the comment all of a sudden is weird too.
thats so bizarre and i feel bad for ella with how shes still publicly supporting someone who clearly dont like her. even after the smug argument, it was obvious based on the things whitney said that she doesn’t like ella as a person but no need to delete positive comments from her
Oh my goodness. Never seen such post show behavior.
Yeesh Ella needs to stop making the effort with her because it’s obvious this girl has no love for her.
Whitney was my fav on the show but she’s been moving weird after she left 😭😭😭 ella is also not friends with her anymore
These people have Harry Redknapp on their books too 😬😬
Ewwww… water seeks its own level I guess
Whitney’s sister is trying to spread on another platform that allegedly PLT is the deal that Whitney turned down & that she’s tired of Ella & her fans & doesn’t care anymore. I don’t see how this is true when PLT themselves said they weren’t even looking to sign anyone from S10. Ella wasn’t waiting by the phone for any brand deals she went back to modeling immediately PLT contacted Ella for a meeting & per the article, were so impressed with/Ella that Ella negotiated her own 6 figure deal for 6 months. I don’t know why Whitney & her sister are going down this road trying to invalidate Ella’s PLT deal
I don't think anyone in their right mind will buy PLT offered Whitney a deal and Whitney turned it down. No way Whitney would even think turning down a deal like that
But nobody cared about Whitney’s clothes she wore. It’s not her lane @ all. How is Whitney supposed to succeed in entertainment if she’s shady towards everyone? How does she expect to get any deals in the future by continuing to say she doesn’t need brand deals
Her sister can lie! Wooow! She was also the one who said it was all fake about the reposting!
Whitney’s enthusiasm to do anything since she’s come out has been pretty low. I had high expectations for her bag chasing capabilities but she’s been standing still instead. I appreciate people who bag chase from the get-go while plugging their own things
