Zendaya Smacks Down Twitter Troll, Offers His Target a Modeling Contract

Zendaya Smacks Down Twitter Troll, Offers His Target a Modeling Contract
The Hollywood Gossip

Social media is glutted with memes, jokes and sometimes blunt criticism about how women present themselves online.

This relentless commentary about "false advertising" is overdone, not particularly clever and, at worst, pretty damn hurtful. However, they keep going around, and Twitter user Eskimo Jay (who doesn't get a link to his profile, because he's kind of a jerk) recently tried to make his own contribution to this trend.

I imagined he expected some likes, some retweets saying things like "You know that's right" and then for it to fade into obscurity like every other joke like this. One thing he did not count on was singer, actress, and part-time Twitter avenger Zendaya seeing it and saying, "NOT ON MY WATCH, DAMMIT."


Zendaya not only shut this man right down, she asked her followers for help in finding the woman pictured above. The reason? Zendaya, who recently launched a clothing line aimed at "all ages, shapes and nationalities," had a modeling contract for her.


She asked, and her followers delivered. The woman in the photos was soon identified as Twitter user honey dip, who, needless to say, was astonished at Zendaya's offer.


I hope everything works out for both of them. To everyone who's been the target of a "false advertising" joke, in the words of Zendaya, "slay on, queen."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
