Ariana Grande has taken to her Instagram story to make a statement, after claims were made that a photographer she formerly worked with requested nude images of a potential model.
In a post uploaded by Diet Prada on Sunday, a model shared supposed screen shots of an alleged conversation with photographer Marcus Hyde after he requested models for a photoshoot via Instagram.
The post allegedly shows the photographer attempting to charge the model two thousand dollars for a shoot with him after she claims she refused to send him nudes.

“Gotta see if your worth it,” the alleged screenshot reads in response to the model’s query about the nude request.
The photographer has shot huge celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, and Ariana has released a statement following the post from Diet Prada.
“dear models/artists in LA/anywhere, I have just read some shocking and really heartbreaking stories,” she wrote on her Instagram story.
❕PLEASE SHARE THIS!!
this famous photographer is asking models to send him nudes before the actual shooting and he makes them pay 2000$ if they refuse, but this asshole doesn’t care because he’s close to the whole kardashian family and he’ll “keep shooting celebs”. pic.twitter.com/265CRpyOOc— ????????????????????????????

“I hate that this is a conversation. but. please do not shoot with photographers who make you uncomfortable or make you feel like you need to take your clothing off if you don’t want to.”
“if you want to, sick. but if you don’t, please don’t. if they tell you you have to pay more money if you’re clothed that’s f*cked and I’m sorry that has happened to you,” she continued.
“I promise there are so many respectful, nice, talented photographers out there.”
The accused photographer has since deleted his Instagram.
The allegations come after the photographer survived a near-fatal car accident in October of 2018.
Celebrities rallied around as he recovered from his injuries, with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West donating $25,000 to his recovery fund.
