【1981 Archives】

Instagram has disabled two accounts belonging to photographer Marcus Hyde after originally deleting a young model's post that called out his alleged predatory behavior.

According to BuzzFeed News981 Archives Hyde made his main Instagram account private after Sunnaya Nash, an LA-based model and interior design student, published her direct messages with Hyde. The messages showed him trying to exchange a free photoshoot with Nash for her nude photographs earlier this week.

Now BuzzFeed News is reporting that Instagram has disabled both Hyde's main account and his second account, @marcushyde_2. His main account had at least 1 million followers before it was disabled.

A spokesperson for Facebook, Instagram's owner, told Mashable that his main account was disabled “for violating our sexual solicitation policies.” The platform said that his secondary account also violated its terms of use.

Earlier this week, the celebrity photographer posted a call for models on Instagram. Nash responded, hoping to work with him. Hyde is known for shooting celebrities like Kim Kardashian West and Ariana Grande.

Hyde responded by asking her "Nude?"

Nash told Hyde that she didn't have any nude photos, and that she was "comfortable shooting lingerie and partial nudity."

Hyde said that without sending him nude photos, Nash would have to pay him $2,000 for a shoot. But if she sent him nude photos beforehand, he said that the shoot would be free.

When pressed on why it would be $2,000 for a shoot if she didn't send him nude photos first, he responded "gotta see if your [sic] worth it."

When Nash posted the conversation with Hyde to her Instagram Stories, Hyde messaged her "suck a fat big dick."

Hours after Nash posted the exchange, it was flagged for violating Instagram's community guidelines and was "removed for bullying or harassment." Nash then received a warning from Instagram, saying that her account may be deleted. Instagram also removed her original post about Hyde because of "nudity or sexual activity."

Instagram has since restored the original post to Nash's account and noted that it was a mistake.

Ariana Grande has since spoken out against photographers that use predatory behavior. Grande did not call Hyde out by name.

"If they tell you you have to pay more money if you're clothed that's fucked and I'm sorry that has happened to you," Grande wrote. "Look out for one another." 

Kim Kardashian said that she was "deeply shocked" to hear about the accusations against Hyde.

Mashable has reached out to both Nash and Hyde for comment, and we will update this post if we hear back.
