Souled-Out

+1 There wasn't even one negative comment on dailymail for these photos, which is rare for that site. She looks great and happy. Strikingly radiant

No I am sure its a genuine mistake, I think I have seen her spell it like that before actually. Update, the actual photographer of the photo has caught on to the post, and as I predicted, he wants to give Metin "The talk" about posting that photo without credit. And it seems that some turkish person tried to say that the photographer was lying about owning the photo, another persons This a damn shame how this had to happen. Ofcourse only right after I post this the photographer comment to metin here, thats when he gives credit. But the dude photo is reposted everywhere now without credit and metin has the nerve to delete thommy's comment. Someone asked thommy if he was the one who deleted his own comment, he said no and if its not there, he didn't remove it..So metin did it. He honestly has some nerve to delete his comment like that. That's not right. He doesn't know if Adriana has to work with thommy again or something, because he liked a comment saying "bf or not, give credit when credit is due". So its not like thommy assumes he is just a regular person, he knows metin knows Adriana. He shouldn't have deleted Thommy's comment especially after he caused so many reposts anyway and he dragged his feet on giving credit. This is what we be talking about, he has no consideration for anything else in Adriana's life thats not him. Not her family. Not her work. Tbh, I hope she realizes she shouldn't just be annoyed at some commenters, but also Metin himself. If he didn't post a picture like this people wouldn't assume whatever they did from that picture. Like, don't just scold the people who only react in the way Metin honestly wanted them to. I mean, obviously he can't control what exactly people say. But with the way he watches his comments, he can control which ones are left and which are not. He can also sway people to assume things. He didn't even delete the comment she responded to himself and he surely has been watching those comments and he still deletes them. He won't delete a comment that made her annoyed, but he deletes simple comments that states "Did you and Adriana break up", they weren't even mean when they asked. He deletes someone comment asking him for credit. It just wouldn't be right to only project that annoyance at the people who comment (even though we don't know what exactly they said or how but you get an idea its about who took the photo and when), but the person who allowed that space for those kind of comments. I know she said "kindly", so she tried, but it was obviously still a scold and I hope she remembers who was the one who decided to post a picture thats gonna make people assume things and didn't bother to remove those comments

yeah thats true but its not everytime. Be hopeful lol

I mean, we already knew she was looking at his profile, because of those turkish fans, they used some kind of app see what she is viewing and they posted it on IG. So thats not surprising The a1 user is speaking in 2nd person so thats what makes it a little confusing but lets be real that grammar/english.... That lets you know who it is. No offense to Adriana but we know how she types lol. At first I was put off because she sounded kinda upset. I don't know what the person said but it seems they assumed Metin took it or something like that. And I am not sure if she said what she did because she was annoyed that the person made an offensive claim about the pic and when it was taken OR if its because Maybelline photographers are getting really tight with being credited for photos. Literally they have been hunting people down (understandably) about their photos being posted, without credit. For example, the person who actually took this photo, its not Andrew, its Thommy White and Here is him asking and complaining about not receiving credit. Every user I have seen posted this same photos, before metin, had to tag him because he made sure of it when the picture first came out: Thats the actual photographer who took the photo that Metin posted, he has been private messaging people and everything for credit because they would repost his work without giving it to him. Which is something Metin just did himself. And With someone like metin posting this, this photo is all over her hashtags and blogs now and the real photographer (Thommy) is not getting the credit he has been asking just regular users for.Now way more people are reposting the photo without crediting him, so he is probably gonna be really upset now that it is literally everywhere and Metin didn't give him credit before, so all those other accounts and sites won't neither, they will metin. The a1 account herself had to state credit to maybelline Hurricane Metin strikes again messing things up because of his ill intentions. Seeing how that photographer feels, he is probably upset because his non-credited work is everywhere. Smh, What did I tell you all earlier about this damn solo photo? if Metin was just genuine like Adriana, and chose a picture of them BOTH instead, this wouldn't have happened.. things like this happen when you're shady and not genuine

She doesn't live in NY anymore. So anytime she is there its because of work. She could either be working now or/and be meeting with her agency, which is also held in NYC. She isn't just there, its work related.

For someone reason I am just still hoping she one day finally sees his BS for what they are and how literally since she has been with him things haven't been the same, and I don't mean that in the good way. I think that is the optimistic person in me, that I swore actually exist lol, coming out. Also because at the end of the day I am a fan. If I truly thought Metin was some good, I would not have an issue, the problem is, he has done too much shady stuff. He has even upset her badly before himself. And the way he chooses to handles those situations makes their relationship toxic now. I can't see him the same anymore. And its sad, we all think so low of him, but its literally because of all the things he has done. Nobody is picking on him anymore... @The iora has brought up a good point too about him doing this when there is a chance she could head his way, like last time. Anyways, because of this stuff, I just still hope she sees why she deserves better and that there is better for her out there. I think she is a good person and despite her tastes and what she decides to put up with, I still want HER to win. And she hasn't been winning since she has been with him. And its literally like everything gets to normal when he is away. And I don't want this for her. I want the BEST for her. Somebody who isn't going to use and exploit her only because it will be convenient for just them. Somebody who doesn't even need to use her because they don't care about what her life comes with, or because they have a big lifestyle of her own. Somebody who is actually in shape and that can help motivate her to stay in shape and stay healthy. Somebody who isn't always trying to manipulate a situation after they have been caught doing wrong. Someone who doesn't claim to influence her and like a comment that implied that Adriana wasn't as great before her. That moment showed what he was really about. Adriana doesn't deserve this, somebody like her can find someone who is real and truthful and not shady. Someone that will actually bring better. He isn't bringing the best out. Regardless of her bringing it on herself, I will never wish less on her, I will always want better for her when I think she needs it. And I think she does, if it takes me speaking it to exist I will try lol. So yes, lets hope Adriana realizes this is not a coincidence when Metin behaves this way on social media. Anytime she publicly removes something of him from her social media + they haven't been seen together in two weeks, he does this

Not you're fine, I wasn't upset. Sorry to hear that, hope things get better for you! Gotta love her "talking to the paprazzi" photos lol adorable.

I just think him using her has became an increased thing over time. It’s obvious when this all started. As I said, when people weren’t sure if he was still with her. And its not like he even posts pic of them together anymore, he is either sneaking pictures of her, sneaking pictures of her home tagging the “ Miami” location. Like he isn’t even fucking posting pictures of them together.... its surely him using her but trying to make it seem like it was just a thoughtful post. If that was the case he would have just did that on Valentine’s day anyway. But on V-day, its wasn’t two weeks of them being apart yet and she didn’t delete that pic And the more he acts like this, the more obvious the differnce between how him and adriana respect their relationship and eachother it becomes. To me its clear, Adriana wants more privacy out of this now. He can’t take having privacy for their relationship. Like I said, adriana never posted solo pictures of him and promoting her work while doing it. Adriana always posts them together. Adriana doesn’t sneak photos of him. Adriana doesn’t record/take photos of his home. Adriana doesn’t care if people know what their relationship status is. Adriana wouldn’t do that because she doesn’t use people and she has nothing to gain from him. This is literally like: genuine ( Adriana) vs non genuine (Metin). Using ( metin ) vs not (Adriana) . As I said the difference in how they treat their relationship these days is so obvious and I think it’s because they view this relationship in two different ways and they want different things out of it. He true colors show more and more I am surprised she is just in NY. But I knew she was in a work location and she looks happy and looks like herself. She looks good

Lol I just screenshot the caption incase he tried to change it because I mention how the caption promotes his own work

It has been like two weeks since he was last seen with her and she deleted just one photo of them. What did I tell you all he was going to do after that mark? Do something on social media to remind people of this, after a certain amount of time. Adriana hasn't posted anything on her feed at all, so he doesn't have anything to like, now he has to do this. This a stunt. Especially since more fans probably noticed her delete that picture, so yeah, this seems about right. Anyone ever notice, when he post about her, he always promotes himself when he does it too? When he'd sneak photos of Adriana in his IG stories while in Miami he also quoted himself. He always promotes himself when he posts her. Really tired of seeing her being used by him in multiple forms. He literally can't go two weeks without reminding the public of their relationship since she unfollowed him. He can't post about her without promoting his work. He can't even stay with her for a month without him taking pictures all over her house to post on his IG stories, he has been home this entire time and he hasn't posted one piece of his home yet, but he keep showing Adriana's. He keeps coming across as disingenuous and using her for attention. The fact that Adriana, the one who is already known and successful and who obviously just wants more privacy, can actually avoid doing this but now he can't go two weeks without pulling this stuff is telling, and its not good because before she famously unfollowed him, he didn't keep pulling these stunts. He hates that the public don't know about their relationship status much, even though he shouldn't even care Thats why we saw this one coming because she deleted a picture too. It was only one picture but combined with the fact that the public hasn't saw them together for more than the week + the reason why she deleted the picture , he does something like this. All I can say is, I hope Adriana just doesn’t fall for this. He isn’t showing love, he is exploiting her constantly now. He didn’t even post a picture of them together, only a picture of her while quoting his own work...exploiting her. Thats why he also kept showing her home while in miami. This is all exploitation. I hope she doesn’t fall for this, there is a reason why he keeps being like this and she isn’t, because she doesn’t exploit him

I doubt she is in turkey. Wherever she is, it’s requiring her to be very busy because of her lack of social media activity. Like she wasn’t even liking stuff. She is busy wherever she is. Hopefully she is shooting for some cover. We never have a clue when she shooting for covers

There is no telling.She could even be going to California for ABS production? However, I think she has been traveling too long to be headed there.

The ones she got in brazil do look better

I don't agree with any of your logic. I think every promo situation is different, they aren't all the same across the board. I don't think everyone gets paid every single time they receive this stuff. Those companies just want the promotion. Its an exchange, you get something nice and you don't have to pay for it at all, you don't even have to really use it, just show it to people because you appear to have a large audience. Thats how it goes sometimes. I have a family member who is manager to one of the hottest celebs in the industry right now and sometimes they get things sent to their home for them to promote, and they actually wasn't expecting it. Granted through a letter that comes with it or something, they understand its to promote. But those situations show you it isn't that pre-planned all the time. Sometimes the things just come. It doesn't always have to be discussed before. What makes the difference is a letter explaining and there was none. Agree to disagree because I don't think she should have just taken it. She could have eventually found out what the deal was, or do as best as she can to just show it because thats what the thinks thats what they want.she chose to do the latter

Do we have selective reading? Uh, we have all acknowledged that she didn't know what it was, and she didn't know who sent it. Thats why I suggested it was maybe lily or jourdan. @Corner literally said "she didn't know who sent it to her". We have all acknowledged she was confused and why before your statement. Its not like someone lied on her. She also did say she "didn't know what this is about". This isn't some one sided thing. The swimsuit was made and shipped to her, that costs money and she didn't have to pay for that. "She gave them free advertising" they sent her a free swim suit. Just because someone gives you a gift with no letter that means you don't acknowledge it at all, not even a post? I don't think Adriana would have the logic of "No letter, means no acknowledgement. I'll just take it". She isn't going to do that. She didn't @ them in the post and she always does that. if she was familiar and only confused about the letter, she would have @ them like she always does.

I think she still lacks just social media kind of training. I don't think she lacks overall PR training because in the real world, its rare Adriana does/says anything that throws people off. Thats why people usually loved her. Like how every year people try to get her to either to talk shit about Gisele or talk shit about kendall/gigi and co, and they do this during live interviews. And Adriana is always smart in how she handles those situations. Other people would be more awkward or they'd simply fall for the trap and be a little shady. Adriana is never that way even though that was people's intentions. Alot of people praise her for how she handles those things. And she is like that with alot of situations, publicly. She can do things right publicly. So it isn't an overall PR training problem in my opinion. She is good in the non-virtual world. Its how she built a great reputation But anytime social media is involved?... I think its 50/50. The first half is, Adriana does lack the training on how to operate it successfully. Whether its her not realizing she has to use both her feed and ig stories to maintain followers or just simply the way she creates posts. With these things, I do think there is a lack of training on how to do those things in a way that she won't cause herself damage. Like the empty causes post could have went better if she didn't word things the way she did, and if she also used social media to say "I wasn't talking about VS" or "I have no problem with__" or some kind of disclaimer, instead she released a PR statement that didn't get nearly as much attention, because her actual post was made on social media. People are/were looking for her to use that same platform to deny the rumors that she was talking about VS, but she didn't.So alot of people still think she quit. More people would have saw her deny those rumors on social media than a PR statement, but she didn't do it. And like you said with the swimsuit thing, that could have been carried out better. She could have contacted somebody who may know (her managers) or googled what it was and then said thank you. She never even said anything close to thank you lol. The bulk of her post was she was just confused. Instead of being like "I got this for free but I don't know what it is so..." she could have said " There was no letter attached, i'm a bit confused. But thanks or I like it" something like that. But she types "Not sure what this is about", she doesn't even say that, she types that and a sentence like that can be taken wrong when nobody hears how you say it. In these situations you can tell she does lack training on how to handle it without people raising an eyebrow at her. The other 50% I just think she overlooks how helpful and beneficial it could be to her career to operate social media consistently and better than she has lately. Especially in times like this where she isn't working, and she hasn't made many appearances. She can help make herself stay relevant and probably even have people come to her with work if she maintained a good feed and social media presence atleast. Like it will help her in the long run, especially as a model who isn't getting younger. Works not gonna come easy for her, interest will not remain if little is being done to keep it. She needs all the different ways in remaining in this industry as she can get. But its like she doesn't see social media helpful in that way (even though it is) and its not because she wasn't trained to, but its just her personal preference to have a dry social media and look like she is retired. I am sure its just her preference to be that way because she will see people begging in her comments for certain posts or to see her and they just aren't going to get it from her lol So I don't think its an over all PR issue.She is good publicly. But the industry has evolved to where there is a virtual aspect and non-virtual aspect and you must handle both. She does great in the real world. But she struggles/refuses to do as well virtually (social media/internet) and thats not good because she hasn't been doing anything in the real world. Like I said, how is her interest going to be kept?

When will DiCaprio out somebody himself? This is a little off topic, but do you know whose hands he were in as a child? Ones that showed up in the documentary "open secret". I feel like thats the real reason for his supply chain of models as well as alcoholism, if you know what I mean.

Like she literally follows majority of the models here, it was probably Lily or Jourdan who had that sent to her...

Just one Yeah that was everywhere multiple models that she follow were apart of that bathing suit line as well as some angels. I hope they don’t see that story, its not the most flattering for them because she expresses so much confusion Sometimes I feel like her current management work for free themselves lol, seriously. she isn't even growing followers anymore because she is lacking so much with her career right now and she won't even post normal stuff on her feed anymore. Like I said, even if she doesn't realize how in the long run this isn't only going to hurt only her modelling career but anything that is associated with her, including her show and its rating, you'd think her management realizes it and they do something. Now, she is very out of touch with brands that her fellow angels and models she actually follow on social media designed themselves. as far we know, she doesn't want to retire, so when will her and her management stop acting like she does? Not only isn’t she doing anything to help her career, she doesn’t know whats going on in the industry anymore. . she really needs to get it together. how can she say she still loves modelling and wants to continue to do it but carry on like this?

Thats not the only pic she left up. And she only deleted one. I noticed it yesterday but I didn't say anything because 1. Its just one picture, it was probably something she did out of impulse. 2. He reads here, and he probably wouldn't have noticed by himself. So I didn't mention it because he'd know and you know how he gets when the public catches on to these things. He is going to start harassing her again, talking to the press about her again if they notice, and being a big leech monster again, when obviously its the last thing Adriana needs right now because she has other things in her life to worry about than just him and his toxic/shady antics. I didn't mention here but he was doing some very weird things on social media the past three days that concerned her. I won't go into it just know he was doing and undoing something on her profile and did it for three days straight. It was extremely weird. But yeah, someone told me via pm that she deleted that pic, I just didn't want to say anything because if he knows, she'd have to deal with more of that^, at a time she doesn't need to deal with such things + she left other photos up.

As I said before, I tend to write like this for anything because I am naturally an insightful person. It doesn't matter what I am talking about, its gonna come out an essay and its gonna be well thought out and the thinking will be critical. Thats the person I am, and I've studied and work in a field that requires me to be that way. I literally can't even afford to be simple minded. Thats just me and I benefit from it anyway. But its nothing specific to just this situation. As I also said, Adriana said herself just last week something different about what she wanted to do with her career and where she wanted it to go. What she said doesn't match whats going on. All those other times, were before she spoke on what she wanted to do and I actually thought she felt the opposite about her career (sometimes I still do obviously). So it is something to be perplexed about it. And even if you don't think so, thats you. Whats "perplexing" is relative. I just named, as well as so many users have too, multiple models who are her age or older and still manage to keep going. Ale's social media is poor also but for different reasons , as I said, she is half retired and her followers was thought to be bought (Neither of that applies to Adriana). But Ale still did atleast two projects already. Gisele is doing well in both.Models, don't always stop like this, not ones like Adriana. And we all know, its not only Adriana's career that is looking hazy, its been other aspects of her life, that could have affected her. And thats what also set her apart from others. So the "age factor in the industry"doesn't matter, its her. This also obvious because of her social media approach/activity, which I talked about. That's also her own problem, and she is clearly running a ditch in that herself. The main factor is this wasn't something that was slowly coming. This is a halt. This is someone who goes from getting one million likes for a photo one moment, to not be able to gain followers at all because of recent poor overall career/social media/PR management the next. Thats how you know its more sudden. I see what you are saying on the acceptance part but I am just not at that point and everything thats been discussed here previously shows why. I would rather hope that she won't be like this all year, she gets back up soon somehow and that we are all wrong about her wanting to end her career like this.

Welp. She has officially stopped gaining followers. Her average gain has surpassed 0 and is in the negatives, in the 100s. Officially every aspect of her career has declined. I knew eventually there was a chance this would happen with the way she poorly runs her social media page now (barely posting on her actual feed, she left a negative quote up there for two weeks, she stopped posting for 3 weeks. and how her mangers always ignore her SM like its not apart of her job) + her lack of work and people barely seeing her and people think she has changed/gotten dark these days, I knew there was a chance this was gonna happen. But it happened quicker than I expected. Also she is no longer at 11.62, she never got beyond that anyway, and now she is at 11.61 she has always been weird on social media but it was to a certain extent, it was never like this.Thats why this is the first time she has ever lost so much and isn't even getting followers anymore. And it wasn't that she was weird about it, back then she would just take a week and a half MAX to post. However recently, she stopped for more weeks. Back then it was ok when she went that one week without activity, because she was still working and active as a model. People still saw her, so that brings in followers still. Obviously people aren't seeing her much, she really isn't active. She has had 0 new work come out. She also is just now starting to post more on her feed this week, but she isn't posting most of what she is known for on her feed. She always posted quotes I will give her that, but she actually posted the work out stuff on her feed-thats the real reason why she is known for fitness, she posted basic selfies/photos of herself too, and every now and then she'd post her work. It was a good enough variety. But lately not only has her activity been weird, but her feed. She just posts quotes and old photos of other people majority of the time now. It doesn't matter with IG stories, like I said before, so many people don't look at it/miss it. Its not helpful on its own, she has to balance both the same. The proof is in the pudding, her followers haven't gotten better despite how much she uses IG stories. It does nothing. When she posts an IG story she should look at the number of views she get, and she will see how low it is compared to her followers. Adriana already never had the most aesthetically pleasing feed. You really had to like who she was as an individual to follow her, not just because she is a beautiful model. You had to like how athletic she was. You had to like her quotes. You had to like that she was a mom and seeing her kids. You had to like/respect how ambitious and successful she was. And if you look at her feed before all of this, thats what you got from her This is why people followed her. They either followed her because she is a model or because they can tolerate how her feed was and how it showed who she was. And at the time, she was a person alot of people actually liked. As we all know, there are people who feel like she changed for the worst and her social media isn't helping that (besides the guns post and the woman quote post).. But mostly these days she isn't really doing that, its like alot of bad voodoo juju going on lol, and I am not even going to say once more where I think that comes from... This is all just so annoying for me, because I would never think that I would see a day of such regression in her career like @Corner said. Never would I think that Adriana would be declining in every. single. aspect. of her career. All at once. Thats why I can't let it go. Adriana still has so much potential to be powerful in the industry, to set more marks, and its like she just decided to let it go completely. And its not like this was happening slowly, its like a complete sudden stop. Its out of nowhere, just like that empty causes post, out of no where. and I can't help but feel extremely disappointed. I just want to continue to be both proud and a fan. Its getting hard. She has been showing her fans love by responding to them, and thats the only thing that keeps me holding on right now and knowing she is a good person. But career wise? I feel like she is selling her self short all of a sudden. I know as a fan I may sound selfish, so let me say: maybe Adriana hasn't been feeling so well lately? Maybe she is depressed or something. It can't be a break she was looking fo, she had that in December and most of January. But 1. This is a fashion/model forum, if a model's career/followers is going down, then it can be talked about (other people used to talk about metin's followers here all the time *shrug*) . 2. She's still saying that she wants to do this and won't even speak of the word retire. So I am going to talk about how perplexing it is, when she is living like a model thats pregnant (in hiding, afraid to post selfies on her feed, not working and wasn't even getting fit) or a model thats half retired like ale and gisele (who are still managing to do better these days) I know people are gonna probably come in here mad at me because I am confronting this issue and its not positive, but I feel like she is falling. And if Adriana never gets back up and she doesn't ever return to being who she was before, don't say I didn't mention it. Because she is choosing a bad time to be like this, its towards the end of her career. Its not smart to cause this upon yourself when you are at the end because this industry will not get easier as she gets older, neither does life. She isn't taking advantage that she she can still do alot. Wasted potential is sad to see

Apparently she is well enough to get out of the house soon. I'd take that as a good sign.

Adriana is the one sharing pictures of herself everyday saying that she is still sick. (not that there is anything wrong with that, I am not gonna complain about her actually posting candids, even if its only on IG stories and I might miss it lol) Anyways, Its the candids section, people are literally just adding candids that she shares. Thats what this is for. There is nothing wrong with people wishing her well and there is nothing wrong with people posting candids that she shared herself saying she is sick. Not like people are sneaking pictures of her and assuming she is still sick. People are just passing on what she put in IG stories, which needs to happen because so many people don't get to see her IG stories posts
