Anok Yai is speaking out after Carine Roitfeld shared “tone-deaf” comments about the Black Lives Matter movement.

If you didn’t see, Carine, who is the EIC of Harper’s Bazaar, posted an image of her embracing Anok at an event, and when replying to a comment said that “Anok is not a black woman, she is my friend.”

In a piece for O magazine, Anok opened up about the comments and called them “jarring”.

“A lot of people have asked what my reaction was to an insensitive post from a friend of mine on Instagram last week. Of course, it was jarring—and it was just one of many similar microaggressions I’ve experienced during my time in fashion,” Anok wrote. “But the bigger point I’d like to focus on is that the fashion industry needs to become educated…and fast.”

She goes on, “Yet the industry seems to be depending on the Black community at large to educate them about Black history—as if we’re obligated to do so.”

“Black models should not have to teach working professionals how to deal with our hair and skin day in and day out. Educate yourself and come prepared. It’s your job. The world is changing right before our very eyes, and we won’t be tolerant of intolerance any longer.”

After her comments last week, Carine issued an apology.

Carine Roitfeld is apologizing.

The 65-year-old former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris issued an apology on Wednesday (June 3) after receiving backlash for her post with model Anok Yai, which was denounced as “tone-deaf” and “offensive.”

“Miss you,” she captioned a post of the two of them together, later adding in a comment: “Anok is not a black woman, she is my friend.” That post was then later deleted, but not before going viral on social media.

“I would like to sincerely apologize for my previous comments that were posted on social media. My intent was to express love and support for my dear friend, Anok Yai – not to deafen my message. I realize that I caused further pain and hurt to the very community that I was looking to support,” she wrote in her apology.

“I am learning from this experience and will continue to use my platform and voice to create opportunities for change. Anok you are a beautiful, strong and talented Black woman and I meant absolutely no harm. I only meant to send a message of support to you and your family.”

“I vow to continue to focus my efforts and stand up to these injustices to support and further create opportunities that amplify the black community and their voices in the fight against systemic racism.”
