The model who plays Melania Trump in T.I.s new video has a message for people who arent fans: Shes Canadian. Just a friendly neighbor to the north.
The video, which the rapper posted to Twitter on Saturday, depicts him sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office while model Melanie Marden, who is dressed to look like the first lady (in a I really dont care, do U? jacket) starts to strip.
Stephanie Grisham, the first ladys spokeswoman, has called for a boycott of T.I., saying its disrespectful and disgusting to portray her in this way simply because of politics.
Marden admits the reaction to the video has surprised her.
Somebody was going to hit me with their car, she told Inside Edition. Somebody was going to take a baseball bat to me. Somebody wished me to get raped and then killed.
Marden said she didnt intend for the job to be a political statement.

(6,853 posts)Her spokesperson called attention to a video causing it to get 2 million hits. There was nothing disgusting about the video. The model had more clothes on than Melania when she did several professional shoots. So suddenly shes a big prude.
Now if they shot a video of her comforting babies in cages, that would be false light.

Whenever I pass an evangelical church I think of Mel.

Their real religion is hate.

(41,959 posts)Not that they arent terrifying and shouldnt be taken seriously-thats how low weve sunk. Its perfectly fine to terrify someone and perhaps actually incite violence toward them when you dont like something about them. I suppose we get to see on a broader scale what many minorities have dealt with forever, eh? Its awful.
