Souled-Out

Its not just one post. I said it was a combination of alot of things she has done since the end of last year that have caught people off guard. If a person changes their thoughts on something and they change the way they talk and some of the things they do, that means they have changed in some way. You don't know have to know someone personally to see that. And I know I am not the only fan with my POV on those things. And as far as Gisele being the only model her age who makes as much as her, again, thats before all this stuff happened. Everything was fine until November of last year. Literally before then, Adriana was saying things opposite of what she did at the end of last year (hello, thats called a change). So it doesn't matter. Adriana being on the Forbes list for 2017 is in the past. All her accomplishments that year, its in the past. Everything before November 2017 is in the past. But in December 2017 she said/did somethings that was crucial. But she did it while on a break, and she is just now getting back to work, so now we have to see what that will do to her. We literally have to wait and see, but one of the things I figured was going to happen already did. We all have to wait like @4BWL said.

Exactly, life is too short to act like that IG post wasn't controversial and like it wasn't everywhere. It was everywhere. She had to release a statement over it, thats not some "regular dumb post" that is a post that got alot of attention and everybody who knows her, knows about it. Take in what she said, and the fact that she literally wouldn't even post about the VS show last year until it aired (because she HAD to by then for the ratings). Those actions just makes people draw bad conclusions about her and they may not want to work with her anymore. Like you said, because she is older now, she would be at a point where her career is getting slow. But Adriana shouldn't do anything that could make it completely stop. Being blackballed, does exist and it can happen no matter how old someone is She CAN go on for a few more years greater. Some models her age and little older are. Ale already has a Vogue cover out this year. And other fellow models who are her age/older are also still getting signed for new campaigns and stuff. But this is all rare. And those few models who are still here and still getting success, they aren't saying/posting anything that is career and image threatening. They haven't made people think they changed for the worst. Thats the difference. And it should be obvious, thats the key to continued success. Just be true to yourself and never come off as ungrateful, even if its by mistake.I am not saying Adriana isn't grateful for VS and the industry, but in her statement she had to say that she was grateful. So that means, she found out it looked like she wasn't and like she was dissing an industry that gave so much to her. I just feel like she is walking on thin ice every since this If it wasn't for all the things that has happened since the end of last year, I wouldn't even be worried.

I didn't say she didn't go to the gym anymore. I said she doesn't express/show the same interest in fitness. That says alot for someone who tends to be expressive. There is a difference. You put questions marks for number 3 but how many fans have came in here saying they feel like she has changed but they aren't ready to admit it because that hurts to admit? Multiple. And it doesn't just stop here, I know a few fans feel that way.

Popularity exactly, but that popularity does not come easy. She hasn't had many commercials so far, but things like social media makes up for that. But her lack of posting earlier on has already come in to affect. Also, she is another year older, that alone makes it easier for her career to slow down. We know Adriana is stunning and aging well. Sadly, the industry is ageist, like you said. And thats the thing, She has been blessed so far to get where she has, Its rare for models her age to still be around anyway She is literally blessed. But what made those blessings was Adriana being the opposite of how she has been as of late. 1. Younger, because we all got older in time 2. She showed more interest and passion in her industry as well as fitness 3. Just being the Adriana that created a massive fanbase(The strong/feminist/religious stuff). 4. Consistent social media activity. These are the things that helped her maintain, but she has been lacking this lately. The main point though, is don't give the industry another reason to push her to the side unless she is ready to retire. We have to remember the announcing ig post about taking clothes off is also another thing that could affect her. As well as her sudden change in attitude towards VS compared to 2016 and july of 2017 (In 2016 and early 2017 she expressed excitement and happiness about working with them, then she ended up having to give a PR statement because it looked like she was leaving and turning her back on them in November-December ). Some of her actions since like November could all pile up and work against her, instead of for her. She can't afford that, because Its not like Adriana is at the start of career, she is closer to the end. To be real, its easier for the industry to not care about her these days because of the way it works. So, she has to be more careful than she has ever been.

Because she went so long without posting anything, thats why I kept mentioning her ignoring posting... Candice has posted atleast once a day since the show, thats enough to keep things moving at a consistent pace. Adriana went MIA as far as posting goes after Christmas. She was liking stuff but it was like she was ignoring posting. That's going to put a stall on things. Thats why I was saying when it happpened, I hope it didn't effect anything. Because I remember when Candice did the EXACT same thing in 2016.Her career hasn't been the same, yet. And Candice is just now getting many followers back and gaining followers at a normal pace, even though she had been posting more all of 2017. But it literally took a year for her to regain that. I know followers shouldn't really mean nothing. But we all the industry today. We all know people today. So this only alarmed me because, I felt being that way about social media also affected Candice's popularity (no offense to her) and things like that. Her stepping back put a stall on more than just her followers. These things can effect someone's career. But the thing is, Candice had a good reason for that, she was pregnant/a new mom. I understand somebody pregnant taking a step back from everything even if it will affect their career. Adriana wasn't pregnant. She isn't a new mom. And looking at Marko's IG, she wasn't with her kids on some of those days. But she couldn't even bother posting for new year. Even though for 2017 new year, she even went live. She didn't even want to post during the VS fashion, she only posted an old picture instead and it quoted you know who. I know it SUCKS that social media is such a factor these days, especially in her career field, but it is what it is. I can only hope that her relevance and career aren't also impacted by the way she was being on social, like it has impacted others.

^ I think Madison is a big fan of Adriana. She has been following Adriana for years on IG. She is probably very happy to have met her.

yeah.. Adriana has avoided being pregnant out of wedlock alot of times lol. She didn't look pregnant at any of the other events. Its just the dress. Facially she has been looking really good. I lovee the pics taken of her in that gold shirt. And people have been saying good things about her attitude and how nice she has been, so she is OK I almost can't blame people going there with the pregnancy thing because she is clearly still involved with Metin. Every since he showed up, she has been unpredictable. I was on the website ohnotheydidn't and they posted the post he made on IG when he was in miami. That post caused them to ask "has anyone else ever dated anybody creepy?". Because of all the things he said just because of some breakup rumors. Not only in the IG post, but the scientist stuff, that has nothing to even do with Adriana. People on that website aren't even major fans of Adriana like we are here and even they feel like his behavior and they things he say are worrying. Literally everybody is creeped out by him. Imagine what they would have said if they would have saw those posts Adriana started to honor him, or knew of the other things that he did. Then she had to block him once apparently. That makes it even more creepy, if its true she had to do that. The last time I seen that was when Karrueche had to block chris brown on there, and we saw how he would not let that girl go (a user here said they had the same fear for Adriana) but anyways, I digress, I know we agreed to not talk about how negative and scary his presence in her life has been, Sorry guys. Its just if it wasn't for her dating him, I think other fans would feel like they knew better. But its obviously the dress making her look that way for me

You know who she looks like in his pictures? 90s Eva Evangelista

Who ever did her makeup didn't match her foundation well or something. I think Adriana has a little tan right now. Well, she isn't pale. But at the maybelline fashion show looked like casper. She wasn't even that pale at the airport nor at the other maybelline events

Me too, he took great photos!

I think it was the dress, it has alot of air in it or something if she was that far along/big, she wouldn't have looked like this the day before here's her in the robe before the show I think her face looks more normal. Adriana pregnant in the face, is very wide. She was pregnant here: Yesterday She doesn't look pregnant from the side. I think its the way the front is made. I do think she gained weight because of her arms and how they lack tone. And it makes sense because we didn't see her go to the gym much. And we all know, from time to time, esp when not working, Adriana gains weight like that and people do think she is expecting. Its been the holidays and all that, again this happened in 2015. This combined with that dress makes her look it but only from the front.

Majority of the makeup looks were not good. TBH I think Adriana's makeup was the best. But only she could pull off such makeup, literally. Only her facial features and the size of them, could look as nice as she did with the makeup.

This isn't exactly "good" But I am wondering and hoping she is ok. She has been sharing alot more on social media. But she looks oddly tired and honestly unhappy in alot of the past events. She was barely smiling for IWC and she said she was jet lag that time. She's been trying more at maybelline, but its obvious she literally has to force it. She still looks like she hasn't been that well rested... Like she doesn't look rejuvenated like she usually does. And I don't think its because she is getting older. Technically her skin still holds up good on its own. She is smiling and her face isn't really cracking. However she got some bags under eyes, thats associated with sleep and rest. She has the look like she is lacking those, I saw the rest of the airport candids without her glasses. As well as on some of the maybelline photos (not the headshots). This is odd because she is just now returning to work. She had a long break, she looked great in Greece and the event before it. That was just a month ago. And it appears over her break she didn't go to the gym much. Yet she still looks tired. I wonder if she had jetleg more than just for one night. Some of her smiles from the maybelline event were the most forced I have ever seen from her See, her skin still looks good. But you can tell by her smile and her eyes.. , its always obvious when she is tired or not feeling hot. These past few days I have been getting that from her again. The last time I remember her being like this was in 2015. Hope she is ok and gets better rest ( if thats what she needs)

I have a feeling she gained weight ( Her arms look bigger but they don't have muscle) but that dress they gave her wasn't good at all and did no favors Those face shots of her are stunning.

The only thing I didn't like is the contour on her already high cheekbones, because when she smiled she looked different than she did literally yesterday. Adriana's cheeks are naturally to high and full for that

Anybody knows how to get some hqs backstage from getty, they are stunning

I know this person, yeah, they have been a big fan for years. I am so glad he finally got to meet her!

She had to block him at one point? See thats toxic. Either he never liked them or things got so bad at one point she had to block them. Either way, its not a good thing nor sign. But clearly he wasn't blocked forever, and he has had other chances to like her stuff and he still did never did. He still did this with motive.

I feel like he did that for attention and to prove something, ONCE AGAIN. Because he never likes her photos! You can go through any photo of hers since they met, he didn't like them. He may comment, and repost. But liking is something he never did until now. Even the photos of or about him/them she posted, He didn't like them. Even the one that he reposted from her, he didn't like. But he choose to like some random post about maybelline? Especially since now the turkish media is talking about them again, and Adriana hasn't followed him back yet or anything. He liked that so that people would see it and they would think something.Because he never likes anything. Thats literally the first one he ever liked. He did that so that people could see it smh. I hate that he always does that, he truly looks like an attention seeker. He does AND says things to get people to make assumptions about their relationship. I don't know whats going on between them but I wouldn't be surprised if he also did that to get attention from Adriana. Just know that he didn't do that just to be casual, he did that for a bigger reason. He had a motive and it was to benefit him

^ I think it looks good lol. Its def alot, so its not underwhelming at all and HERE she seems to look good with it on

I love that she told that and she shouted out her hometown. Something rare from her

I think VS is the reason why Adriana makes so much even if she works the lowest. And the bish just isn't going to leave on her own, not until she gets closer to her goals of breaking a record. After she walks the show this year, it should be good enough. I think PR is the reason VS aren't letting Adriana and Candice go. They are the most famous still.

hope we get more photos, again she looks good

He just keeps talking to the media about them...... He threatened to sue the media over some basic break-up rumors, as if he is annoyed by only them, yet anytime they want him to open up his mouth about adriana or give any indication about her, he actually entertains them and give information to them. He shouldn't be doing that and thats exactly why the media just keeps coming to him for more. And this is exactly what he wants them to do.

Yeah I just saw that too........
