24 hours after celebrity photographer Marcus Hyde was accused of soliciting nudes from Los Angeles-based model Sunnaya Nash, as well as sexual misconduct and assault from multiple others in the wake of her allegations, Kim Kardashian West has broken her silence.
The mother-of-three took to Instagram Stories to post a lengthy message saying that while her experiences with Hyde have always been professional, she is “deeply shocked, saddened and disappointed to learn that other women have had very different experiences.”
Kardashian wrote that she stands “in full support of every woman’s right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with.”
“We cannot allow this type of behaviour to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out,” she finished.
Kardashian’s post comes after fashion takedown account Diet Prada shared a side-by-side of Hyde’s request for models and his subsequent conversation with Nash, calling for Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande to condemn his behaviour. The post quickly gathered traction and both Nash and Diet Prada started sharing messages they were getting from women who had allegedly experienced similar situations with Nash. Most of the names of the senders were covered to keep the women anonymous and their allegations ranged from being asked to send nude photographs of themselves to sexual misconduct and assault during or after photoshoots.

Yesterday, Ariana Grande addressed the situation, writing on Instagram: “I have just read some shocking and really heartbreaking stories,” before going on to tell all models and artists that they shouldn’t work with photographers who “make you uncomfortable or make you feel like you need to take your clothing off if you don’t want to.”
“If they tell you you have to pay more money if you’re clothed that’s f—d and I’m sorry that has happened to you. I promise there are so many respectful, nice, talented photographers out there.”
Hyde, who has deactivated his Instagram account, is yet to respond to the allegations.
