There's nothing illegal or unethical about what IMG Models did. However, the New York–based modeling agency that has some of the biggest names on its roster suddenly discovered a hidden Cinderella in our midst: Ella Emhoff, who is Kamala Harris's 22-year-old stepdaughter. The problem with this amazing discovery is that Emhoff is entirely ordinary and seems somewhat scary. It's patently clear that IMG is capitalizing on her stepmother's position, and that's just sleazy.
Over the years, IMG has represented people such as Lauren Hutton, Christie Brinkley, the Hadid sisters, and Karlie Kloss — names so big and women so beautiful by any standard that even I recognize them

When I looked at her picture, the first word that came to mind was 'fugly'...

Apparently modeling contracts are passed out like Nobel prizes, i.e. in a manner that makes them meaningless.

The women of the left always look like the Russian women's Olympic weigh lifting team .

Advice to stepdaughter: take advantage of this opportunity. Save as much of your pay as a model as you can. Because when stepmom is out of office, you will probably have to learn to make solar panels to earn a living.

Thanks Captain Obvious. This is one of hundreds of examples of graft. Let's take a look at Chelsea and her stint at NBC.

Give a good makeup artist a couple of hours and she could be made quite attractive, but seriously...Kamala’s stepdaughter aspires to a modeling career? Good. Grief.

When Chelsea got a $600k intern gig at a msm network you know talent or ability means nothing to them. Since dems won’t change I hope pubbies start doing this.

This poor thing was the freaky looking one at the January 20 thing. I thought she/he might be another gender confused boyl Anna Wintour will undoubtedly put it on a cover and dig once excellent Vogue further into its grave.

I've noticed the standards for "beauty" have really hit rock bottom. Now male models wear makeup and women look like men - hairy armpits and all. This woman is not beautiful, or even average. Sorry, but that first picture looks like a male "transitioning".

They heard she can scratch behind her ear with her back leg...now, that right there's "talent"!

They did same thing with Jenner sisters, they got modeling jobs over people who worked for years in the game.
I can't say what I think of this person.

"In those photos, she has a face that I'd expect to find in an old East German bondage magazine." LOL, author Andrea Widburg wins for the best line of the week!

Isn't 22 a little old to be starting a modeling career?

Did nothing unethical?? If that means they can change the appearance standards they imposed on others for years with the blink of an eye to curry favor, than no they didn't do anything unethical. Of course, this is a modeling agency so ethics have nothing to do with it.

Daughter, professional ballerina, does modeling, but not runway modeling because she is just 5'3" tall.
This thing called Ella is 5'6" tall, still too short for runway modeling, but I suspect an exception will be made.

Maybe not illegal...it may well be unethical. Let's see if she's featured in the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition with Christie Brinkley.

When I was in college, we had two names to describe this hideous creature: dog-toad, and sweathog. She looks a bit emaciated for hog, so dog-sweat-toad.

Must disagree, Andrea. The three Hadid sibs are just average looking, thrust into the modeling meat grinder (as was Kendall) by their ruthless, overbearing and ambitious mothers. Their futures will not turn out well.
I do, however, agree with your assessment of the very unfortunate Ms Emhoff. Her "Momala" has a lot in common with the above two so she will succeed... for a while. Doubt she'll make many friends with that backstabbing gaggle though.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even a giraffe can look pretty to its fellow giraffe.

If "beauty is in the eye if the beholder", then IMG's getting their info from Stevie Wonder. What's she going to model - latest hillbilly/inbred line?

My son said she looks like the love child of Harry Potter and Sideshow Bob. Yes, I know we’re being mean but quite frankly my dears, after years of abuse from the left, I don’t give a bleep anymore. Time to fight fire with fire. I like seeing truly beautiful people in ads and in magazines—sorry but enough of the unisex, dirty freak look. It’s gross. Hard pass. Oh, and by the way, speaking of beauty, boycott Sephora as they, too, have gone full woke and do not desire our money. Add ‘em to the list!

It's really no different than Hillary Clinton's daughter getting that big job she got when she graduated college.
This woman is making a new fashion statement. Now millions of women will stop shaving under their arms.

There was a period of time in the mid-seventies when models were homely. She reminds me of that time. Also, she's skinny enough, and an awful lot can be done with makeup and lighting. If you haven't seen Sandy Cortez' look before her Commie handlers did a makeover, check it out. Obviously she couldn't hold a candle to any of the Trump women.

Being a big fan of Loony Tunes cartoons I have to use a quote from the great Bugs Bunny when describing the unfortunate looking Ella Emhoff. Hey Doc I’ve seen better heads on a bottle of root beer!

Interesting times when "fashion" magazines ignore the stunningly beautiful FLOTUS Melania Trump and give a contract to someone with an unfortunate face just to kiss the backsides of the FauxJoe regime!!
