It's been over a week since The Young Black Leadership Summit — or what we've dubbed "The Sunken Place Summit" — has taken place, and it looks like one participant is facing real consequences.
Model Zoe Bethel was among a crowd of gleeful conservatives seen chanting "USA! USA!" in late October. However, her appearance has now reportedly cost her a contract with Ursula Wiedmann Models.
On Saturday, conservative commentator Candace Owens posted a screenshot of the termination notice Bethel reportedly received from the agency and summoned indignation.
This is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC.
A young woman who attended our #YBLS summit was released from her modeling contract when she got home for supporting @realDonaldTrump and this administration.

"The team has been talking about your political racist connections, and we have decided to release you from your contract," wrote Ursula Wiedmann in an email to Bethel. "We are an agency based on love, acceptance and inclusiveness, and your current public persona is not relative to our brand."
"Political bias is discrimination," Owens tweeted. "I am appalled at this circumstance."
The 33-year-old Turning Point USA communications director then used the opportunity to further promote the "Blexit" movement which urges Black voters not to feel pressured to align themselves with the Democratic Party.
