Cindy has made millions off of her body, and now, 37 years later, she is traumatized by an Oprah interview. Give me a break. Models are treated worse than that by modeling agencies.
Also, Oprah's show was one of the ratings shows then. That is the reason she was there. I wonder if that was the only uncomfortable interview she had experienced?
@@scotchette I mentioned that. That is why Cindy can look at the system and see it for what it is when she was too young and too close to the job. As a mother, one would think that she would have her stop modeling. Yes, the money is good, but you cannot have it both ways. I don't watch talk shows anymore. Maybe today's interviews would have more substance.
But OPRAH show people was supposed to be a safe place another WOMAN interviewing..... everything that is known today STILL like her boggles the mind...Ice Cube ....50 Cent...Jamie Foxx.... Justin Bieber... Dave Chappelle....Julia Roberts... MEL GIBSON... Angelina Jolie...Denzel Washington THERE'S more that talk AGAINST oprah
So women who sold and exposed their bodies for money and fame are now upset that people talked about their bodies? OK, but if women are serious about this, they really need to stop sexualizing themselves. Why is it OK for Cardi B to talk about her WAP? The media is way more gross today compared to the 1980's. Since the internet, its become normalized for young women to do Onlyfans, and other online sex work. Today many women in the media look plastic with all the plastic surgery, breast implants, lip injections, butt implants, liposuction, botox. I think women were much better off in the 1980's
Period!!! I once heard Bette Milder that when Cindy was married to Richard Gere she was embarrssingly stupid, all what she wanted to talk about was modelling in the most inappropriate places
Oh, give me a freaking break! Cindy sexualized herself by accepting racy photo shoots (in exchange for money) and posing in all sorts of suggestive ways. And now, decades later, she complains about being objectified?!? No one forced her to become a model. She chose this profession of her own free will, knowing exactly what she was getting into.
@@vs52217Singers are asked to sing. Models are asked to model. Whatever your talent is a journalist will ask you to display it. Oprah asked the Michael Jackson to dance, when she interviewed him. I don’t see an issue with asking the Cindy Crawford to model.
Wasn't Cindy Crawford a model? Who made a career out of her looks, including that body of hers? Can we please stop pretending that modelling is all about personality and inner beauty?
She was there to talk about modeling. That is every different than being there as a model. I saw the video years back a felt cringe for Crawford. You can tell she felt uncomfortable being put on the spot like that. Can you imagine Oprah going on a talk show and was told to stand up to show how fat she was? This is the same thing.@@alicegauteng2358
Not old school complement. It was out of place and wrong. Oprah could have truly interviewed Cindy. Oprah who has always had a weight problem was envious of Cindy. With Cindy sitting in the chair and answering questions, she was in a more natural way showing how beautiful she was.
@@Magazinelady well everyone seemed to survive. It seems odd people are complaining and having delayed reactions about some words that were spoken years ago. I guess that means there is nothing pressing in their current lives. That’s a good thing ☮️
Yeah, totally agree. Modelling is all about your body. You don’t get hired as a model because of your intelligence or the depth of your soul. And I think it’s interesting that the person she’s choosing to “call out” is the woman. What’s about all the men like Howard Stern who said far more degrading things to her? I don’t see her calling them out.
Totally agree. what's the difference with me hyping my girls up before a date saying "twirl for me, you're serving looks" Cindy made sooo much money from that very hot bod.
Let us all be very honest. Cindy SOLD her body,for profit. She worked hard and deserves every penny, HER BODY WAS A PRODUCT. Don't play the victim card. Millions of women would willingly give anything to have Cindy's life.
That is a deceit. She sold images of her body modelling clothes. Don't conflate it with prostitution and what-aboutism. Who is so pure? Just say 'Oprah is an oppressed black woman who's all about empowering women whilst facing racist sexist scorn'?
@@karenmbbaxter Maybe she is? If you read social medias, she is. If you read the right wing British press, she is. If I read you, she is. We don't know the whole story. Not sure William is such a great guy? And if he is not Kate is complicit.
After the infamous interview with a prince and the wife I feel Oprah isn't the person we thought she was. Strangely, that video seemed to be taken down and was unavailable too.
She took down her whole interview with Sarah Ferguson also as she knew about the passport thing(royals don't carry passports). But the Harry and Meghan interview Oprah knew that but went well along with it. You could only find small parts of the Sarah interview. Gone!
Yeah, okay, I don’t get it. She made her entire career off of her body and now she has a problem with it? Without that “body” she wouldn’t be Cindy Crawford. She was as more than happy to be “objectified” at the time. If she’s going to complain, maybe she should give the money back too. And I don’t see her doing that. Cindy, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Also, why doesn’t she call out Howard Stern who said much more degrading things about her on his show while she sat and watched with a smile on her face. Like I said, she was happy to be objectified when she was benefiting from it. But now that she’s getting old and nobody cares anymore, she has a problem? Please!
The video has not been removed from UA-cam, watch the video. Cindy is a model being paid to have people look at her and ask: maybe if I buy those clothes I will look like that, too.
I'm not a fan of Oprah these days, but she was a model and she was commenting, almost complementing her on her look. Unless I'm missing something, I think people are being over sensitive about this.
I agree 💯 percent. There are far too many snowflakes today. Everything offends them. Listen, when I was in my teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, I was considered to be beautiful. I'm now almost 68, still attractive, but those glory days are gone. Super fun to experience, and I had/have the smarts to go along with that. Offended? Are you kidding? I'm glad to have appreciated and enjoyed it while I had it! Cindy Crawford and other former super models are ridiculous to now be saying otherwise...and are, I believe, lying. And you're right: she and others objectified themselves. I NEVER used my looks in that way!
Going back decades, when we were different, and nitpicking when somebody maybe hurt your feelings is getting tiresome. Sure, it could have been worded differently but let’s face it, Cindy Crawford was on Oprah because of her body. Anyone who gets paid insane amounts of money for bikini shots should understand that their brain isn’t the thing being photographed 🤦♀️
Oh for pity's sake: Cindy Crawford's face and body enabled her to access an amount of wealth, privilege and status that most of us can only dream of - and she willingly participated in that contract for decades. Her protest might have a bit more ethical weight if she offered to give all of that wealth back. In the meantime, her 'argument' just doesn't stand.
What Cindy Crawford said was her opinion. She is being interviewed and she answered a question (or a line of questioning. She is allowed to state her story. Oprah is known for putting people on the spot and not she is being put on the spot. If nothing happened to her regarding epstien, then she is untouchable.
@@alicegauteng2358 I totally agree. Besides it’s giving Paulina porizkova who, though still a very attractive woman, was upset she wasn’t getting the same attention she received in her heyday as a model because she got older. Cindy knows her time has passed and she is no longer relevant so she is now trying to garner attention for herself by throwing someone else under the bus. Sad really.
Oprah was being VERY complementary when she said "Now that is a body." ...also, literally being a model is choosing to be apart of an objectifying industry. I just don't think you can demonize Oprah for this.
Is it possible that cindy is using this old clip of that 'compliment' to remind ppl of her appeal from her younger days b/c she's feeling a bit left out now that her daughter has taken over her glory road? Sometimes ppl use reverse psych games on us to make it look like they're upset when really it's a kind of false modesty trip and they cover up their braggy info by making it look like they're offended? It could be this too. Ego-driven ppl in an ego-driven industry use this kind of thing to stir up 'movements'(like w/ the 5th wave feminists who are often hiding behind the 'good cause' of this while they passively-aggressively play a diff ploy & use their 'cause' as a nice cover to hide behind)..these issues really aren't about movements at all but are about showing off things they want to show us as new project or remind us of their value/ relevance again (in Cindy's case, I think it's both) b/c they feel they need more attention? I suspect that could be it or maybe part of it - Cindy's coy little publicity stunt while her star fades as she ages & her daughter dominates the fashion scene now. Celebs do it all the time. I've been to H-wood enough to see their games and also have been in marketing and sales my whole life so I see it from various angles and most ppl forget that pub stunts are very big - esp when someone needs a new fix of a fame hit b/c let's not forget that fame is the biggest drug of all!
Yes! Fame and power! That's why we have all the seniors in Congress when they should be retired at their vacation home playing with the grand-kids. @@kaitlynkarol4600
I love how we are continually reminded that Cindy was a smart girl and majoring in chemical engineering in college which she never graduated from cause she chose a career that requires being objectified instead.
EXACTLY what I have been saying. She CHOSE her career path to be ogled at and make tons of money and become globally known for her... BODY..and not her brains. Life is about choices.
Not to defend Oprah but if a talk show host asked someone known for something besides how they look to pose their clothed figure, then yes, unnecessary and irrelevant objectification. But she was a model, chosen for her silhouette on the catwalk and fashion magazines.
Cindy said if you look at it with today's eyes, that's so important. None of us seeing that 30 years ago would have thought it was inappropriate. It was a tv norm for the time. Oprah can be called out for a lot, but this wasn't it.
Speak for yourself. I am a few years younger than Cindy and never thought it was appropriate for anyone to objectify me, man or woman. I worked in media and it was always inappropriate, it’s sad that Cindy didn’t have the self esteem to stand up for herself and put Oprah in her place.
Oh please! Cindy was a model, ie. it is her body she is selling . She CHOSE that career path. What exactly did she expect. Besides, Oprah was being very complementary as someone who has struggled lifelong with weight.which is something I can relate to as well. I always marvel at some women and that they never have to struggle with their body because they have been naturally gifted with the right genes to keep them slim, tall, etc. @@Rubylove48
Not a fan of Oprah AT ALL but I feel Cindy is being utterly ridiculous here. As some other people have made comments Cindy literally sold her body in that time. What did she think she was on Oprahs show to do? talk about her massive intellect.? so to come out 37 years later with her ‘very disturbing memories’ is a bit rich.
I would agree. Plus, Oprah, way back sold everything to get to where she is. She had a smutty show that was purely opportunistic. This is who Oprah is - not the veneer that everyone worships of her. So the shock is weird. I mean, Cindy is also an unnaturally, attactive individual who does have exceptional proportions. She was on the show as the new model - of course Oprah was going to exploit her. No surprise to anyone unless you fell victim to Oprah's halo that has weirdly been issued to her over the past 15 years (or however long it's been).
Maybe Oprah shouldn't have said "stand up and show us your body", but Cindy you were a model that's what you did for a living...put your body on display.
She has a documentary and this is how she is choosing to promote it. Notice that Oprah did not ask her any personal questions. Cindy had to say something to be included in this documentary and this is it.
@anonymousa-uy1hk I wish I was. When all the Weinsyein sh*t hit the fan, several photos were leaked of these two together. Several other celebrities confirmed they were very good friends hung out often and that she was aware but turned a blind eye. However, when Oprah was asked, she said he was a good friend and she didn't think he did anything wrong. She also refused to comment on reports of physical and sexual abuse at her girls' school in Africa. Several of her former students confirmed and reported that they were mistreated. Apparently, her money quiets a lot in that country. Ever since her scam, Maui charity was exposed for the tax scheme and land grab that it is several reporters have been exposing her past shenanigans. Most of her alleged charities are simply ways to get tax breaks with no real charitable donations. She apparently isn't the good benevolent person we all thought she was.
what the- speak for yourself for one things. What she really is…? What’s that? She was beloved by people for decades for good reasons. She shouldn’t be blamed because Harry & Meaghan turned out to be morons.
Oprah isn't the problem. If you see all the photo layouts Cindy did that Cindy was always objectifying herself due to the nature of the modeling world. Photos wearing bras and bathing suites. Cindy must have a double standard here
I saw a large majority of her work and she's mostly topless or has a thong on or bathing suit so I'm not sure what she's talking about when she said Oprah made her feel objectified it's just hilarious. She never speaks on the industry she never says anything about being half naked in front of the photographers and going down the runway with a see-through top on I don't understand I have yet to hear her say anything about that maybe that's coming maybe that's her next video I don't know.
It WAS a different time. I don’t think she Oprah meant it to be demeaning and probably wished she was the size Cindy was. No, probably shouldn’t have been done but we can’t go back in time a dissect every interview. Yes, we do have more work in respecting women for their achievements and not treat them or value them for their body proportions.
Yesterday it “was” okay to be photographed in sexy poses to sell products / a movie, a video, etc and today it is someone makes that person feel “objectified.” No, these women and men objectified” themselves for money.
Yes. And oddly enough, she is right there again to take advantage of this opp to use OW again to project blame on to her that is not necessary. She used OW to hitch a ride to fame at age 20 and now she uses her again as a stepping stone to secure more relevance in a diff way at 57. Talk about your sycophant-opportunist! I know O is a sell-out too and I am not a fan of her either, but when someone is innocent or not wrong, I will defend them b/c I am defending the truth that is the side they happen to be on at the time. We should be principled about things, not biased b/c of our fave celebs or what-not. In this case, O was just being complimentary and Cindy later goes hunting for any little thing she can find for her documentary to play a victim game since her sex appeal has faded - at least on the mainstream level now that her young daughter has taken over her old scene. Her new attention seeking method comes by way of virtue signaling and playing the victim card b/c she has no other talents or legit things to fall back on for relevance. She may be smart in academia from her scholarship to be a chem engineer BUT her EQ is apparently very low as she is basically an emotional paraplegic as she barely wheel-chairs herself into this half-ass logical fallacy of a farce. This victim game is the new currency in order to be relevant today. It sells as much, if not more than sex! So sad and pathetic are these high school hipsters! I always felt Cindy was an overhyped shallow celeb who is all wrapped up in ego & image but now my intuition has been confirmed.
Yup. Oprah accepted the invitation to MM’s wedding paid for by King Charles and the BRF, and then she allowed the Sussexes to do an on-air hatchet job on their in-laws. All in the name of “journalism”. Thanks a lot Winnie!
Both sides are right. Cindy sold her body all over the place, including playboy. Oprah could have phrased it differently. This debate is immensely important to the world
I find it interesting that the people that get in trouble for sexualized individuals are not the sexualized individuals or those that force them to be sexualized, but those that notice, yet don’t see anything wrong with it. Aren’t all three categories the issue? If the person is a minor then you blame the parents, but otherwise even a model can say no. I think the real reason Cindy Crawford is mad at Oprah is because she thought Oprah would rescue her or stop the industry, but actually Cindy Crawford had more power than Oprah. Look at how some of these other women handle the interviews where they simply turn the joke back on the person asking like, “seriously when did we start asking about underwear?” The truth is if you don’t want people asking then you say no to that costume that leaves a little to the imagination.
The world has gone bonkers and over sensitive in make a big deal out of every little thing. Shes a supermodel, she has The Body so Oprah was telling her to stand up so everyone can see just how stunningly beautiful she is and why she is a supermodel. Its not like Oprah said ‘stand up, take off your clothes!’. 😂
Amen, sister! I'm so tired of how sensitive we have become! Get real! Cindy may millions off of how she looked and is still making millions because of how she looks! 🤷🏻♀️
In all fairness, Leonardo DiCaprio was asked over and over again when was he getting married and having kids so its not just women in the industry who gets that question thrown at them. Personally I think this whole video in general is just another excuse for people to get offended over nothing so it can make them feel special and important
Oprah had been given many passes- she’s lost her credibility big time with that bombshell interview by letting Meghan telling lies without challenging her!
How do you know it was lies? You were not there when things happen. Plus Oprah is a journalist, and its her job to seek hot topics and ask questions, especially of famous people.
It showed how she is not a serious journalist. That was not an interview but a commercial selling Harry's wife & Harry. A one-sided dialogue of complaints.
Helloo...That's her job as a TV presenter and journalist to let people tell their story, whether you are a street vendor or the queen, if she finds it interesting enough for her show, why shouldn't she do it, because you hate Meghan?. Pleaseee and by the way you didn't have to watch it...but you did! so Oprah did a good job getting you to watch too, LOL

@@londonengland1231 as if the English royal family is going to explain their side of the story? It is not an institution for nothing!!!I wouldn't hold your breath expecting a response.
I feel for the young Cindy, she was clearly uncomfortable. At the same time she earned millions of dollars because she commoditized her body and probably experienced far more awkward moments than the one on Oprah. From what I have read she was an excellent student, it's not like she had no other career options. Cindy Crawford made a choice to literally sell her looks and never wavered from that path.
I think many young girls feel shy when someone says, Stand up and show Aunt Joan your pretty new dress! That's called an awkward moment, not objectification.
I mean, Oprah wasn't a photographer or an agent or casting director to ask Cindy to show off her body, i see why the context makes it kinda cringe, but it could be just a weird anecdote in her modeling career and not something to call her out as being inappropriate so many years later, if it happened at a private meeting in Harvey Weinstein's office then that's a whole different story.
Being a model is all about your body. It’s not about your personality, intelligence or your soul. If Cindy didn’t like it, she should have made a different career choice. But, then, I’m guessing those other “careers” wouldn’t have paid as well as the modelling. She s just being hypocritical now.
@@anonymousa-uy1hk yes, part and parcel of working as a model is showing off your body, that doesn't mean you do it at anyone's command like some circus monkey, even if it's the almighty Oprah asking, and yes it is also about your personality, intelligence and soul, which is the difference between some unknown face on an ad and having longevity and success like Cindy, even tho the standards are being lowered to make it more about "inclusivity", which is mostly hypocritical.
@@anonymousa-uy1hk I agree with you. Its not like Cindy was the brightest bulb. Ciny was there as a model, Oprah could not have asked her about the state of the economy.
@@Ciclopea2 Modelling is about your personality and soul 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Now I’ve heard everything!!! Next you’ll be claiming that modelling is also the secret cure for cancer. Let’s not give the profession too much credit, shall we? Because we all know that you could have the most amazing personality and a beautiful soul, but without the physical attributes nobody would be interested in taking pictures of you. Also Cindy was a grown woman and she could simply have refused but she didn’t. Nobody was holding her hand to the fire. I also find it strange that she has chosen to call out Oprah, another woman, but has said absolutely nothing about Howard Stern who frequently objectified her on his show in the most vile ways while she looked on and smiled. Nor has she complained about her appearance on playboy magazine. She had no problem participating in culture of modelling while she was on top and making good money but now that she’s old and has lost relevance, she’s complaining. Seems to me like a cry for attention.
what a nonsense topic! At that time, models were admired by the somewhat sturdier women and Oprah wanted to emphasize this even more by having her stand and indicating that she indeed had the perfect figure of a model. these people are now very busy negatively analyzing topics from the eighties in contemporary times. You can't say that it's Cindy Crawford's fault that she contributed to the image of what women should be like as models, can you? Nowadays you see all kinds of different body types of models. something that was unthinkable at thar time.
Cindy is a model and a modeling agent was with her. And Oprah openly spoke of struggling with her own weight and body. So I see it as a compliment to a model. Like let’s get upset from how many years ago… hope Cindy can let go of it now, though now she’s going to be reminded of it over and over since people will help her reopen the can of worms.
I don't get how that was offensive, especially that Oprah was a big tv host, this got her more recognition on National TV. She was an inspiring model and clearly knew that their body and face is what sells. She wasn't under age, she was already an adult. She wasn't asked to undress or anything inappropriate. I just don't like that people go digging in OLD interviews and then want to call out a person when they had many chances to do so at an early time of their career.
I don’t think Oprah meant harm, particularly considering the time. Cindy was a super model who made her money off of her body. Cindy was famous because of her body. I think we draw the line very differently today.
I am probably going to get slammed for this, but times have changed. That was a totally different culture and time. We are taking today's views on what is acceptable and appropriate behavior and trying to apply them to the past. What is in the past is in the past. We learn from it and move on. In today's society and culture, those questions are inappropriate. Just take a look at the many things that were considered normal and acceptable back then: smoking, no seat belts, no bike helmets, children playing outside unsupervised for hours at a time, weapons being allowed on school property, the list goes on and on. I am no fan of Oprah, but I am fairly certain that if she were to interview a super model today, there is no way that she would ask that question or anything even close to it.
I am ultra feminist and i completely agree with you. It's not like Cindy didn't make her cheddar from her body. and it's not like Oprah meant it to be degrading, she was like hyping her up. jeeeez. everyone wants to be some victim these days.
What a 'model' Cindy was for us all these years ago! She was a perfect model for showing clothes can look pretty. The model I'm referring to is the young woman she was and we all wanted to be like her!
Unfortunately, she signed up to model her body. If she designed clothing, we'd ask her to show us her clothing. Someone commented below "The modelling industry is all about objectification. I’m not saying it’s ok, but they knew what they were signing up for." If she REALLY feels bad about it, she can give back all the money she's made being objectified and really make a stand.
I remember when Mary Frances Crosby the daughter of Bing Crosby was being interviewed by Phil Donahue on his daytime tv talk show. He praised her beauty and announced to the audience that her dress size was an American size zero and the audience clapped, whistled and cheered. That’s how it was in the late eighties and early nineties women were only valued for their looks and figures. Thank goodness it’s all changed.
Wait a minute that IS why they hired her they did not hire her for her "chemical engineering" it was all about her body that is what Cindy sold back then! That is what the modeling is you are out on the "butcher block" get real!
Totally - she was either a brand or she wasn’t . She traded on her body and her looks. This is pulling up the ladder because models should never be interviewed again incase of …..I cart stand Oprah by the way.
I dont like oprah at all but this is stupid! Cyndi Crawford was claim to fame was being a "supermodel" which is 100% about her body/shape. If it wasnt for that she wouldnt even been on the show. That is like Arnold getting mad for an interviewer asking him to make a muscle
Absolutely not OK to ask personal questions just because someone is in entertainment. A skilled professional interviewer always asks The interviewee off-camera what kind of questions they don’t mind talking about.
If it has never happened to you then you don’t know what you are talking about. It happened to me and I was highly embarrassed and wanted to crawl into a hole.
I couldn’t agree more! I guarantee you Cindy was objectified in same way by every designer she ever worked for. Oprah sucks but this isn’t the worst. Culture is different now. Cindy herself said she didn’t “recognize it at the time” and it’s because it …. Didn’t bother her. Cindy’s entire career is about turning around for brands. This is just so silly. Should Oprah have done that? Nah probably…??? not but who CARES.
Would she have asked a man to stand up and show his package? Marilyn Monroe posed for Playboy. Barbie Benton Hugh's girlfriend at the time posed for Playboy. Alot of women celebrities posed for Playboy back in the day. Even celebrity men posed for Playgirl. Burt Reynolds, Joe Namath.
The Super models also worked with the fashion photographers, of that era before 1995, who delivered pure art works, which deserves their own fashion photography museums with permanent exhibitions. Nowadays the artistic context is gone, it all died out in the midst of 1990. What we see today is dull untalented nepo based fashion models and boring fashion photography where of course the plastic surgery industry is playing a huge part as whoever can be called a supermodel with some surgery- botox-filler help. rip real supermodels😢
@@sonjar1853 I totally agree, a cover girl back then was carefully selected, the camera must love her, it was serious, it was status, it was magic, only a few who filled the criterias reached the high position of becoming a cover girl
but what people want Oprah to talk about Cndy,? she was there as a model...she's not an athlete, she's not a business woman nor a writer promoting a book at the time...Cindy's taking Oprah out of context here.
So 37 years ago Oprah was 32 and Cindy is now 57 and is trying to scold her for her past mistakes? Wow, aren’t we all guilty? I have made plenty of mistakes in my 20’s and 30’s that were harmful to even myself. You do better when you know better. I’m sure we have all learned hard lessons that made us who we are today. Give grace people!
I personally think Oprah caused so many women to have eating disorders. As a woman that so many women looked up to, her obsession with weight loss and her yo-yo weight - it is disgusting. I always thought so - her statement was “if I can do it, so can you”. Yeah, but she had a chef, an exercise guru, assistants, etc and she STILL yo-yoed.
She never asked anyone to look up to her. That's your fault. You don't even know her. Why would you look up to someone you don't even know. Oprah is a human, after all. Forming a new habit is the same for everyone; it's challenging. Dont bash someone for struggling with their weight. That's a low blow
I agree with you. in the early 90's watching her show she was always trying to be slim and making a big dell about it . When she could have empowered woman by embracing her body because she was loved by many. My mum could't stand her interviews she did'nt trust her. lol.
@@paradisesunprincess I never said I looked up with her and I have no room to talk about weight being a big gal myself - but women did and do consider her to be a feminist icon and look to her for guidance and I think she abused that power.
You have a problem in putting the fork down and you blane Oprah for it? Children are not suppose to look up to celebrities as role models. Thats your parenrs job. Celebrities are human too and just as flawed as everyone else. Take responsibility for your own actions
Cindy is being ridiculous ... she was being marketed as a supermodel with a great body at the time . Prince even wrote about it . Oprah helped build her fame.
Oh give me a break. Not only did she volunteer to model, she also introduced her daughter to the same profession. If she was so offended, then she should’ve made her daughter go to college instead. 🙄 🙄
Back in the 80’s women were treated really badly.. I was a model, and men slapped me on the butt, said inappropriate things, acted like we were objects. It’s a bit better today, but there’s still people (mostly older men) who haven’t evolved out of that old mind set. It’s really embarrassing not for me, but for the ones that still behave badly. I read an article recently that wrote about how women in general are evolving at a faster rate then men. I see it all the time.
If Cindy went on the show to model an outfit, effectively she would be saying, “look at me, look at me!”, I’m so slim and beautiful. That’s the world of the model. They exploit their looks for money. AND her daughter followed in skinny mommy’s footsteps. Interesting.
It was even worse the decade before the supermodel era. I worked in advertising in New York & London where the men were a disgrace - especially the Creatives. Every single day there would a man drooling, touching or making vile remarks which we just had to put up with or were even supposed to be flattered by. Most were married with a girlfriend and wanted even more. We thought it was normal. I got fed up with it & went back into music where, amazingly, it didn't happen. I'm pleased the way things have turned round but hope it doesn't go the other way where men feel esmasculated. Good for Cindy for verbalising her opinion.
Don’t like Oprah. But that was a different time and it should be accounted for. Especially considering that Cindy’s body was literally her job and the reason why she was there.
Things were VERY DIFFERENT back in the 80’s post the women’s feminist movement of the 60’s & 70s. I’ve been watching a LOT of English and & tiny bit of American detective dramas made in the 80s & I find myself sympathising with the men often because THEIR roles & rules had to change too & it was a confusing time for them. I had my first second and third children, one a year, back in the late 70s and early 80s. I CHOSE to be a stay at home mum which was pretty lonely because my new friends in my new city & state had chosen careers over kids at that time. Socially people would ask “what do you do?”. I’m a mum I’d answer proudly. “Yes. But what do you DO?” They’d ask again. I was accused of wasting my intellect. The feminist movement was meant to be about MORE CHOICE for women + equal pay for equal work. MOST of the JUDGEMENT came from other WOMEN.
She said it herself, with todays eyes ! a lot was wrong then and still is but I do wonder why people wait decades to say anything. Maybe Cindy has a book coming out or something.
Bizarre a model who made millions out of showing her body off and now has her daughter in the same industry, complaining that a talk show host made a comment about her body… 🤔
Huge Cindy fan, original supermodel. However she is over reacting. Born and blessed with a body like that, is very special. All Oprah did was to compliment him. Oh im not a ophrah fan. I also admire Cindy physics.
We’re discussing the feelings of a Supermodel, why did you have to dredge MessyMeg up? 😂 I think Oprah deserves to be vilified for objectifying another woman, based on her looks. Cindy Crawford was a Supermodel in the 1980’s, but she is still a person who deserves to be respected on Oprah’s show. Oprah’s days are over, she is rich enough to retire, before someone else comes forward s with another allegation??
Cindy has made millions off of her body, and now, 37 years later, she is traumatized by an Oprah interview. Give me a break. Models are treated worse than that by modeling agencies.
Also, Oprah's show was one of the ratings shows then. That is the reason she was there. I wonder if that was the only uncomfortable interview she had experienced?
That is the point. Cindy has a daughter now.
@@boldmover Totally agree. It was a good PR stunt for her and her career at the time.
@@Magazinelady And her daughter does the same.
@@scotchette I mentioned that. That is why Cindy can look at the system and see it for what it is when she was too young and too close to the job. As a mother, one would think that she would have her stop modeling. Yes, the money is good, but you cannot have it both ways. I don't watch talk shows anymore. Maybe today's interviews would have more substance.
Her career was based on how her body looks. Please don’t change the narrative 37 years later
Thank you
Thank you!
Exactly
👏
@anilabakhat6266: You are absolutely Correct.
Let's be honest, Cindy would not have made the money she has if she had not made money by being objectified.
Thank you!!! It’s so silly.
But OPRAH show people was supposed to be a safe place another WOMAN interviewing..... everything that is known today STILL like her boggles the mind...Ice Cube ....50 Cent...Jamie Foxx.... Justin Bieber... Dave Chappelle....Julia Roberts... MEL GIBSON... Angelina Jolie...Denzel Washington THERE'S more that talk AGAINST oprah
So women who sold and exposed their bodies for money and fame are now upset that people talked about their bodies? OK, but if women are serious about this, they really need to stop sexualizing themselves. Why is it OK for Cardi B to talk about her WAP? The media is way more gross today compared to the 1980's. Since the internet, its become normalized for young women to do Onlyfans, and other online sex work. Today many women in the media look plastic with all the plastic surgery, breast implants, lip injections, butt implants, liposuction, botox. I think women were much better off in the 1980's
Actually again she had been accepted to northwestern to study chemical engineering. How do you know how much money she would have made as an engineer.
you are 100 percent correct what is Cindy Crawford even going on about ffs.
You can’t have a career that’s all about your body and then be surprised when people talk about your body
Exactly!!
Thank you!
Period!!! I once heard Bette Milder that when Cindy was married to Richard Gere she was embarrssingly stupid, all what she wanted to talk about was modelling in the most inappropriate places
Never saw why Crawford was that big of a deal? Very average looking in my opinion.
Was she asked about other facets of her life? That'd be the test question.
Oh, give me a freaking break! Cindy sexualized herself by accepting racy photo shoots (in exchange for money) and posing in all sorts of suggestive ways. And now, decades later, she complains about being objectified?!? No one forced her to become a model. She chose this profession of her own free will, knowing exactly what she was getting into.
They were considered kind of prostitutes......Today, being a prostitute earns so much fame......the days of Noah.
Yep 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She's talking about this appearance and opras demand . It was wrong to demand she stand up.
Absolutely, what a hypocrite
and getting paid for it royaly
A model being asked to model is offensive? We are lost.
She wasn't there to model for Oprah, she was there for an interview.

Yeah, totally agree. Modelling is all about your body. You don’t get hired as a model because of your intelligence or the depth of your soul. And I think it’s interesting that the person she’s choosing to “call out” is the woman. What’s about all the men like Howard Stern who said far more degrading things to her? I don’t see her calling them out.
Totally agree. what's the difference with me hyping my girls up before a date saying "twirl for me, you're serving looks" Cindy made sooo much money from that very hot bod.
This is how she is choosing to promote her documentary.
Let us all be very honest. Cindy SOLD her body,for profit.
She worked hard and deserves every penny, HER BODY WAS A PRODUCT. Don't play the victim card. Millions of women would willingly give anything to have Cindy's life.
That is a deceit. She sold images of her body modelling clothes. Don't conflate it with prostitution and what-aboutism. Who is so pure?

The modelling industry is all about objectification. I’m not saying it’s ok, but they knew what they were signing up for.
After the infamous interview with a prince and the wife I feel Oprah isn't the person we thought she was. Strangely, that video seemed to be taken down and was unavailable too.
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
It was a new low for her. Even she knows it.
She took down her whole interview with Sarah Ferguson also as she knew about the passport thing(royals don't carry passports). But the Harry and Meghan interview Oprah knew that but went well along with it. You could only find small parts of the Sarah interview. Gone!
@@audreykennedy90 Don't worry she will go even lower, what can one expect.

Yeah, okay, I don’t get it. She made her entire career off of her body and now she has a problem with it? Without that “body” she wouldn’t be Cindy Crawford. She was as more than happy to be “objectified” at the time. If she’s going to complain, maybe she should give the money back too. And I don’t see her doing that. Cindy, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Also, why doesn’t she call out Howard Stern who said much more degrading things about her on his show while she sat and watched with a smile on her face. Like I said, she was happy to be objectified when she was benefiting from it. But now that she’s getting old and nobody cares anymore, she has a problem? Please!
Ummm, wasn't she a model? Her work was literally to show her body. How completely ridiculous.
Why should Oprah get a pass?
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
Great job, Cindy. Call that women on it. She (Oprah) cared only for her show, getting attention, rates, and took advantage of naive people.
Isn't she secretly Matried to Gail😂
Cause she asked her to stand up?
The video has not been removed from UA-cam, watch the video. Cindy is a model being paid to have people look at her and ask: maybe if I buy those clothes I will look like that, too.
I'm not a fan of Oprah these days, but she was a model and she was commenting, almost complementing her on her look. Unless I'm missing something, I think people are being over sensitive about this.
I agree, if anyone objectified Cindy it was herself, by posing almost nude. She takes no responsibility for her own actions.
I agree 💯 percent. There are far too many snowflakes today. Everything offends them.
Listen, when I was in my teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, I was considered to be beautiful. I'm now almost 68, still attractive, but those glory days are gone. Super fun to experience, and I had/have the smarts to go along with that. Offended? Are you kidding? I'm glad to have appreciated and enjoyed it while I had it! Cindy Crawford and other former super models are ridiculous to now be saying otherwise...and are, I believe, lying. And you're right: she and others objectified themselves. I NEVER used my looks in that way!

Oprah has no longer credibility and maybe it’s time someone asks where are the children that are missing? She definitely knows
Sure. Good for Cindy for waiting 37 years to whine over an interview.
Going back decades, when we were different, and nitpicking when somebody maybe hurt your feelings is getting tiresome. Sure, it could have been worded differently but let’s face it, Cindy Crawford was on Oprah because of her body. Anyone who gets paid insane amounts of money for bikini shots should understand that their brain isn’t the thing being photographed 🤦♀️
Tiresome is putting it mildly. People are over it. I can only imagine things we are doing today that will seem rude in 30 years. Who cares??
Oh for pity's sake: Cindy Crawford's face and body enabled her to access an amount of wealth, privilege and status that most of us can only dream of - and she willingly participated in that contract for decades. Her protest might have a bit more ethical weight if she offered to give all of that wealth back. In the meantime, her 'argument' just doesn't stand.
What Cindy Crawford said was her opinion. She is being interviewed and she answered a question (or a line of questioning. She is allowed to state her story. Oprah is known for putting people on the spot and not she is being put on the spot. If nothing happened to her regarding epstien, then she is untouchable.

Besides it’s giving Paulina porizkova who, though still a very attractive woman, was upset she wasn’t getting the same attention she received in her heyday as a model because she got older.

Oprah has gone on far too long without any consequences. It’s about time she faces the music.
Stand strong Oprah, Cindy needs to grow up and stop crying about something that happened 40 years ago
Amen to that!
You want to see consequences for this? LOL
Oprah should look at herself. 😳 Times have changed so has the public’s attire.
Totally agree, I never liked her or her talk show.
Oprah was being VERY complementary when she said "Now that is a body." ...also, literally being a model is choosing to be apart of an objectifying industry. I just don't think you can demonize Oprah for this.
Is it possible that cindy is using this old clip of that 'compliment' to remind ppl of her appeal from her younger days b/c she's feeling a bit left out now that her daughter has taken over her glory road? Sometimes ppl use reverse psych games on us to make it look like they're upset when really it's a kind of false modesty trip and they cover up their braggy info by making it look like they're offended? It could be this too.
Ego-driven ppl in an ego-driven industry use this kind of thing to stir up 'movements'(like w/ the 5th wave feminists who are often hiding behind the 'good cause' of this while they passively-aggressively play a diff ploy & use their 'cause' as a nice cover to hide behind)..these issues really aren't about movements at all but are about showing off things they want to show us as new project or remind us of their value/ relevance again (in Cindy's case, I think it's both) b/c they feel they need more attention?
I suspect that could be it or maybe part of it - Cindy's coy little publicity stunt while her star fades as she ages & her daughter dominates the fashion scene now. Celebs do it all the time. I've been to H-wood enough to see their games and also have been in marketing and sales my whole life so I see it from various angles and most ppl forget that pub stunts are very big - esp when someone needs a new fix of a fame hit b/c let's not forget that fame is the biggest drug of all!

Not to defend Oprah but if a talk show host asked someone known for something besides how they look to pose their clothed figure, then yes, unnecessary and irrelevant objectification. But she was a model, chosen for her silhouette on the catwalk and fashion magazines.

None of us seeing that 30 years ago would have thought it was inappropriate. It was a tv norm for the time.
Oprah can be called out for a lot, but this wasn't it.
Speak for yourself. I am a few years younger than Cindy and never thought it was appropriate for anyone to objectify me, man or woman. I worked in media and it was always inappropriate, it’s sad that Cindy didn’t have the self esteem to stand up for herself and put Oprah in her place.

Let's consider for a moment what will be deemed offensive in 30 years....
We have no idea. We'll all be considered monsters in a few decades. Lol.
Not a fan of Oprah AT ALL but I feel Cindy is being utterly ridiculous here. As some other people have made comments Cindy literally sold her body in that time. What did she think she was on Oprahs show to do? talk about her massive intellect.? so to come out 37 years later with her ‘very disturbing memories’ is a bit rich.
I would agree. Plus, Oprah, way back sold everything to get to where she is. She had a smutty show that was purely opportunistic. This is who Oprah is - not the veneer that everyone worships of her. So the shock is weird. I mean, Cindy is also an unnaturally, attactive individual who does have exceptional proportions. She was on the show as the new model - of course Oprah was going to exploit her. No surprise to anyone unless you fell victim to Oprah's halo that has weirdly been issued to her over the past 15 years (or however long it's been).
Maybe Oprah shouldn't have said "stand up and show us your body", but Cindy you were a model that's what you did for a living...put your body on display.
Yep and she even posed nude for playboy magazine!!
She has a documentary and this is how she
is choosing to promote it. Notice that Oprah
did not ask her any personal questions.
Cindy had to say something to be included
in this documentary and this is it.
Oprah was BFF's with Harvey Weinstein what does anyone expect.

@anonymousa-uy1hk I wish I was. When all the Weinsyein sh*t hit the fan, several photos were leaked of these two together. Several other celebrities confirmed they were very good friends hung out often and that she was aware but turned a blind eye. However, when Oprah was asked, she said he was a good friend and she didn't think he did anything wrong. She also refused to comment on reports of physical and sexual abuse at her girls' school in Africa. Several of her former students confirmed and reported that they were mistreated. Apparently, her money quiets a lot in that country. Ever since her scam, Maui charity was exposed for the tax scheme and land grab that it is several reporters have been exposing her past shenanigans. Most of her alleged charities are simply ways to get tax breaks with no real charitable donations. She apparently isn't the good benevolent person we all thought she was.

Oprah isn't the problem. If you see all the photo layouts Cindy did that Cindy was always objectifying herself due to the nature of the modeling world. Photos wearing bras and bathing suites. Cindy must have a double standard here
I agree with ypu on this for 10000%
I saw a large majority of her work and she's mostly topless or has a thong on or bathing suit so I'm not sure what she's talking about when she said Oprah made her feel objectified it's just hilarious. She never speaks on the industry she never says anything about being half naked in front of the photographers and going down the runway with a see-through top on I don't understand I have yet to hear her say anything about that maybe that's coming maybe that's her next video I don't know.
BTW, ORCA IS A PROBLEM.
It WAS a different time. I don’t think she Oprah meant it to be demeaning and probably wished she was the size Cindy was. No, probably shouldn’t have been done but we can’t go back in time a dissect every interview. Yes, we do have more work in respecting women for their achievements and not treat them or value them for their body proportions.
Yesterday it “was” okay to be photographed in sexy poses to sell products / a movie, a video, etc and today it is someone makes that person feel “objectified.” No, these women and men objectified” themselves for money.
I bet she ran at the first chance to be on Oprah show for exposure.
Yes. And oddly enough, she is right there again to take advantage of this opp to use OW again to project blame on to her that is not necessary. She used OW to hitch a ride to fame at age 20 and now she uses her again as a stepping stone to secure more relevance in a diff way at 57. Talk about your sycophant-opportunist!
I know O is a sell-out too and I am not a fan of her either, but when someone is innocent or not wrong, I will defend them b/c I am defending the truth that is the side they happen to be on at the time. We should be principled about things, not biased b/c of our fave celebs or what-not. In this case, O was just being complimentary and Cindy later goes hunting for any little thing she can find for her documentary to play a victim game since her sex appeal has faded - at least on the mainstream level now that her young daughter has taken over her old scene.
Her new attention seeking method comes by way of virtue signaling and playing the victim card b/c she has no other talents or legit things to fall back on for relevance. She may be smart in academia from her scholarship to be a chem engineer BUT her EQ is apparently very low as she is basically an emotional paraplegic as she barely wheel-chairs herself into this half-ass logical fallacy of a farce. This victim game is the new currency in order to be relevant today. It sells as much, if not more than sex! So sad and pathetic are these high school hipsters! I always felt Cindy was an overhyped shallow celeb who is all wrapped up in ego & image but now my intuition has been confirmed.

I find it interesting that the people that get in trouble for sexualized individuals are not the sexualized individuals or those that force them to be sexualized, but those that notice, yet don’t see anything wrong with it. Aren’t all three categories the issue? If the person is a minor then you blame the parents, but otherwise even a model can say no. I think the real reason Cindy Crawford is mad at Oprah is because she thought Oprah would rescue her or stop the industry, but actually Cindy Crawford had more power than Oprah. Look at how some of these other women handle the interviews where they simply turn the joke back on the person asking like, “seriously when did we start asking about underwear?” The truth is if you don’t want people asking then you say no to that costume that leaves a little to the imagination.
Its ridiculous topic...
You can't judge what happened 40 years ago by the standards of today in any situation. When you know better, you do better.
Wouldn't the standards of today be part of knowing better?
I don't get what Oprah did wrong in this instant. It looked like she was giving Cindy a compliment to me.
The world has gone bonkers and over sensitive in make a big deal out of every little thing. Shes a supermodel, she has The Body so Oprah was telling her to stand up so everyone can see just how stunningly beautiful she is and why she is a supermodel.

In all fairness, Leonardo DiCaprio was asked over and over again when was he getting married and having kids so its not just women in the industry who gets that question thrown at them. Personally I think this whole video in general is just another excuse for people to get offended over nothing so it can make them feel special and important

I feel for the young Cindy, she was clearly uncomfortable. At the same time she earned millions of dollars because she commoditized her body and probably experienced far more awkward moments than the one on Oprah. From what I have read she was an excellent student, it's not like she had no other career options. Cindy Crawford made a choice to literally sell her looks and never wavered from that path.
I think many young girls feel shy when someone says, Stand up and show Aunt Joan your pretty new dress! That's called an awkward moment, not objectification.
Exactly!@@fulanichild3138
I mean, Oprah wasn't a photographer or an agent or casting director to ask Cindy to show off her body, i see why the context makes it kinda cringe, but it could be just a weird anecdote in her modeling career and not something to call her out as being inappropriate so many years later, if it happened at a private meeting in Harvey Weinstein's office then that's a whole different story.
Being a model is all about your body. It’s not about your personality, intelligence or your soul. If Cindy didn’t like it, she should have made a different career choice. But, then, I’m guessing those other “careers” wouldn’t have paid as well as the modelling. She s just being hypocritical now.
@@anonymousa-uy1hk yes, part and parcel of working as a model is showing off your body, that doesn't mean you do it at anyone's command like some circus monkey, even if it's the almighty Oprah asking, and yes it is also about your personality, intelligence and soul, which is the difference between some unknown face on an ad and having longevity and success like Cindy, even tho the standards are being lowered to make it more about "inclusivity", which is mostly hypocritical.

Let’s not give the profession too much credit, shall we? Because we all know that you could have the most amazing personality and a beautiful soul, but without the physical attributes nobody would be interested in taking pictures of you. Also Cindy was a grown woman and she could simply have refused but she didn’t. Nobody was holding her hand to the fire. I also find it strange that she has chosen to call out Oprah, another woman, but has said absolutely nothing about Howard Stern who frequently objectified her on his show in the most vile ways while she looked on and smiled. Nor has she complained about her appearance on playboy magazine. She had no problem participating in culture of modelling while she was on top and making good money but now that she’s old and has lost relevance, she’s complaining. Seems to me like a cry for attention.
@@alicegauteng2358 Exactly!
what a nonsense topic! At that time, models were admired by the somewhat sturdier women and Oprah wanted to emphasize this even more by having her stand and indicating that she indeed had the perfect figure of a model. these people are now very busy negatively analyzing topics from the eighties in contemporary times. You can't say that it's Cindy Crawford's fault that she contributed to the image of what women should be like as models, can you? Nowadays you see all kinds of different body types of models. something that was unthinkable at thar time.
Cindy is a model and a modeling agent was with her. And Oprah openly spoke of struggling with her own weight and body. So I see it as a compliment to a model.
Like let’s get upset from how many years ago… hope Cindy can let go of it now, though now she’s going to be reminded of it over and over since people will help her reopen the can of worms.
I don't get how that was offensive, especially that Oprah was a big tv host, this got her more recognition on National TV.
She was an inspiring model and clearly knew that their body and face is what sells. She wasn't under age, she was already an adult. She wasn't asked to undress or anything inappropriate. I just don't like that people go digging in OLD interviews and then want to call out a person when they had many chances to do so at an early time of their career.
The Britney interview is bananas. Even back in the day, how could they possibly think that was ok?
I don’t think Oprah meant harm, particularly considering the time. Cindy was a super model who made her money off of her body. Cindy was famous because of her body. I think we draw the line very differently today.
I am probably going to get slammed for this, but times have changed. That was a totally different culture and time. We are taking today's views on what is acceptable and appropriate behavior and trying to apply them to the past. What is in the past is in the past. We learn from it and move on. In today's society and culture, those questions are inappropriate. Just take a look at the many things that were considered normal and acceptable back then: smoking, no seat belts, no bike helmets, children playing outside unsupervised for hours at a time, weapons being allowed on school property, the list goes on and on. I am no fan of Oprah, but I am fairly certain that if she were to interview a super model today, there is no way that she would ask that question or anything even close to it.
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
You won't get slammed by me I totally agree with you!!
I am ultra feminist and i completely agree with you. It's not like Cindy didn't make her cheddar from her body. and it's not like Oprah meant it to be degrading, she was like hyping her up. jeeeez. everyone wants to be some victim these days.
What a 'model' Cindy was for us all these years ago! She was a perfect model for showing clothes can look pretty. The model I'm referring to is the young woman she was and we all wanted to be like her!
Unfortunately, she signed up to model her body. If she designed clothing, we'd ask her to show us her clothing. Someone commented below "The modelling industry is all about objectification. I’m not saying it’s ok, but they knew what they were signing up for." If she REALLY feels bad about it, she can give back all the money she's made being objectified and really make a stand.
She was a model. Her profession has everything to do with her face & body.
I remember when Mary Frances Crosby the daughter of Bing Crosby was being interviewed by Phil Donahue on his daytime tv talk show. He praised her beauty and announced to the audience that her dress size was an American size zero and the audience clapped, whistled and cheered. That’s how it was in the late eighties and early nineties women were only valued for their looks and figures. Thank goodness it’s all changed.
It hasn’t really changed. Most heavy women want to be slim.
have you heard of the Kardashians?
Wait a minute that IS why they hired her they did not hire her for her "chemical engineering" it was all about her body that is what Cindy sold back then! That is what the modeling is you are out on the "butcher block" get real!
Totally - she was either a brand or she wasn’t . She traded on her body and her looks. This is pulling up the ladder because models should never be interviewed again incase of …..I cart stand Oprah by the way.
Not the first time oprah has done this...google oprah and the Olsen twins 😩 actually far worse and more cringe.
I dont like oprah at all but this is stupid! Cyndi Crawford was claim to fame was being a "supermodel" which is 100% about her body/shape. If it wasnt for that she wouldnt even been on the show. That is like Arnold getting mad for an interviewer asking him to make a muscle
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
Asking Michael Jackson if he was a virgin.
Geeze folks - it was such a different time!!!
Interesting, but everyone from John Casablanca to all the photographers to every man were all objectifying her
Absolutely not OK to ask personal questions just because someone is in entertainment. A skilled professional interviewer always asks The interviewee off-camera what kind of questions they don’t mind talking about.

Oh lord, we are so sensitive these days! I mean, Oprah shouldn't have asked her to stand up but it's not that big of a deal!
If it has never happened to you then you don’t know what you are talking about. It happened to me and I was highly embarrassed and wanted to crawl into a hole.
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
I couldn’t agree more! I guarantee you Cindy was objectified in same way by every designer she ever worked for. Oprah sucks but this isn’t the worst. Culture is different now. Cindy herself said she didn’t “recognize it at the time” and it’s because it …. Didn’t bother her. Cindy’s entire career is about turning around for brands. This is just so silly. Should Oprah have done that? Nah probably…??? not but who CARES.
Would she have asked a man to stand up and show his package? Marilyn Monroe posed for Playboy. Barbie Benton Hugh's girlfriend at the time posed for Playboy. Alot of women celebrities posed for Playboy back in the day. Even celebrity men posed for Playgirl. Burt Reynolds, Joe Namath.
The Super models also worked with the fashion photographers, of that era before 1995, who delivered pure art works, which deserves their own fashion photography museums with permanent exhibitions. Nowadays the artistic context is gone, it all died out in the midst of 1990. What we see today is dull untalented nepo based fashion models and boring fashion photography where of course the plastic surgery industry is playing a huge part as whoever can be called a supermodel with some surgery- botox-filler help. rip real supermodels😢
Yup. And there really aren’t cover girls anymore. They put celebrities on the magazine covers now.
@@sonjar1853 I totally agree, a cover girl back then was carefully selected, the camera must love her, it was serious, it was status, it was magic, only a few who filled the criterias reached the high position of becoming a cover girl
but what people want Oprah to talk about Cndy,? she was there as a model...she's not an athlete, she's not a business woman nor a writer promoting a book at the time...Cindy's taking Oprah out of context here.
Oprah's sainthood is being questioned.
And it's about time
🇦🇺
@@JoJo-sy3qt I agree. Celebrities are given way too much worship.
What ‘sainthood’ she is not nor EVER had ‘sainthood’! In fact I’d call her the OPPOSITE!
So is her grooming school
So 37 years ago Oprah was 32 and Cindy is now 57 and is trying to scold her for her past mistakes? Wow, aren’t we all guilty? I have made plenty of mistakes in my 20’s and 30’s that were harmful to even myself. You do better when you know better. I’m sure we have all learned hard lessons that made us who we are today. Give grace people!
I personally think Oprah caused so many women to have eating disorders. As a woman that so many women looked up to, her obsession with weight loss and her yo-yo weight - it is disgusting. I always thought so - her statement was “if I can do it, so can you”. Yeah, but she had a chef, an exercise guru, assistants, etc and she STILL yo-yoed.
She never asked anyone to look up to her. That's your fault. You don't even know her. Why would you look up to someone you don't even know. Oprah is a human, after all. Forming a new habit is the same for everyone; it's challenging. Dont bash someone for struggling with their weight. That's a low blow
I agree with you. in the early 90's watching her show she was always trying to be slim and making a big dell about it . When she could have empowered woman by embracing her body because she was loved by many. My mum could't stand her interviews
she did'nt trust her. lol.
@@paradisesunprincess I never said I looked up with her and I have no room to talk about weight being a big gal myself - but women did and do consider her to be a feminist icon and look to her for guidance and I think she abused that power.
No one causes you to have an eating disorder. Stop blaming everyone else for your issues.
You have a problem in putting the fork down and you blane Oprah for it? Children are not suppose to look up to celebrities as role models. Thats your parenrs job. Celebrities are human too and just as flawed as everyone else. Take responsibility for your own actions
Cindy is being ridiculous ... she was being marketed as a supermodel with a great body at the time . Prince even wrote about it . Oprah helped build her fame.
Don't ask Rachel Zegler about this as she would retort, "1980's evidently so". Now it would make sense.
Oh give me a break. Not only did she volunteer to model, she also introduced her daughter to the same profession. If she was so offended, then she should’ve made her daughter go to college instead. 🙄 🙄
This was 37 years ago. They are not showing the complete portion of this interview. They edited out key portion. Shame on you CINDY CRAWFORD
Back in the 80’s women were treated really badly.. I was a model, and men slapped me on the butt, said inappropriate things, acted like we were objects. It’s a bit better today, but there’s still people (mostly older men) who haven’t evolved out of that old mind set. It’s really embarrassing not for me, but for the ones that still behave badly. I read an article recently that wrote about how women in general are evolving at a faster rate then men. I see it all the time.
If Cindy went on the show to model an outfit, effectively she would be saying, “look at me, look at me!”, I’m so slim and beautiful. That’s the world of the model. They exploit their looks for money. AND her daughter followed in skinny mommy’s footsteps. Interesting.
hard to feel sorry for someone who willingly exchanged money for photos of their body
Just watched the segment here on UA-cam posted by OWN, and I thought it was fine. She's a model.
She's a model. So yes, it's about her body and the question was in context
Cindy Crawford is ridiculous! She made her living on her look. and she wants to blame Oprah for that??? C'mon, now!!!
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
The Harry and Meghan interview. The lies she told😂😂😂😂
It was even worse the decade before the supermodel era. I worked in advertising in New York & London where the men were a disgrace - especially the Creatives. Every single day there would a man drooling, touching or making vile remarks which we just had to put up with or were even supposed to be flattered by. Most were married with a girlfriend and wanted even more. We thought it was normal. I got fed up with it & went back into music where, amazingly, it didn't happen. I'm pleased the way things have turned round but hope it doesn't go the other way where men feel esmasculated. Good for Cindy for verbalising her opinion.
There must be a lack of news stories out there right now.... obviously.
Don’t like Oprah. But that was a different time and it should be accounted for. Especially considering that Cindy’s body was literally her job and the reason why she was there.
I don’t buy any of this. Cindy is weaponizing feminism.
She's posing in nude, underwear and bathing suit and she has the nerve to pretend to be offended.
if cindy didnt think it was wrong at the time, is it hard to believe that oprah didnt either?
Things were VERY DIFFERENT back in the 80’s post the women’s feminist movement of the 60’s & 70s.
I’ve been watching a LOT of English and & tiny bit of American detective dramas made in the 80s & I find myself sympathising with the men often because THEIR roles & rules had to change too & it was a confusing time for them.
I had my first second and third children, one a year, back in the late 70s and early 80s.
I CHOSE to be a stay at home mum which was pretty lonely because my new friends in my new city & state had chosen careers over kids at that time.
Socially people would ask “what do you do?”.
I’m a mum I’d answer proudly.
“Yes. But what do you DO?” They’d ask again.
I was accused of wasting my intellect. The feminist movement was meant to be about MORE CHOICE for women + equal pay for equal work.
MOST of the JUDGEMENT came from other WOMEN.
She said it herself, with todays eyes ! a lot was wrong then and still is but I do wonder why people wait decades to say anything. Maybe Cindy has a book coming out or something.
You didn’t give Oprah a fair chance to respond.
It was a compliment and nothing more… her body has made her millions
People say Barbara Walters embarrassed them...I say get over it 😊
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
Bizarre a model who made millions out of showing her body off and now has her daughter in the same industry, complaining that a talk show host made a comment about her body… 🤔
Oh for heaven's sake. They both made millions taking advantage of theirs and others physical assets or lack of.
Did she just call them “live clothes hangers” ? Lmao 🤦🏻♂️
Now I’m really confused! Catwalks, underwear modeling etc…and now she placing the blame at the feet of Oprah……Really🤯🤯🤯
I love how they are defending Oprah when if it was anyone else they would be nailed for it
Agree
True if it was a black person then it wld be racist.
Huge Cindy fan, original supermodel. However she is over reacting. Born and blessed with a body like that, is very special. All Oprah did was to compliment him. Oh im not a ophrah fan. I also admire Cindy physics.
We can't COMPLIMENT each other?? GOT IT.
@04:02 She took the video down... Then why is the video still posted here on UA-cam?
You know who DIDN'T get into
& Did Not Study at Northwestern
University? Megsie!🙄😌
We’re discussing the feelings of a Supermodel, why did you have to dredge MessyMeg up? 😂
I think Oprah deserves to be vilified for objectifying another woman, based on her looks. Cindy Crawford was a Supermodel in the 1980’s, but she is still a person who deserves to be respected on Oprah’s show.
Oprah’s days are over, she is rich enough to retire, before someone else comes forward s with another allegation??
Looking back yes , not nice and Beyond cringe I'm surprised my Pizza didn't come back up.
Opy was on the hunt for Weinstein's next conquest even then
She was called the Body
And honestly knowing she went on to make 5 covers of play-boy,.....
How to get back in the headlines when your time has passed...It was the 80's pullease
