okay i’m going to do a thread on how this girl completely bamboozled me and took me for an idiot. i wasn’t going to but this playing victim shit needs to end today. https://twitter.com/moyosorebriggs/status/1205251908367273986
so she & i went to primary school together. we reconnected at an event in october & i was like aw she’s good vibes and her instagram is cool. a month later, i started planning my 21st birthday. i planned it all last minute so i needed to book a photographer quickly & i hit her up
everything was all cool, i gave her contact details to the venue and we both arranged to get there at the same time, which was 7:30pm. please bear in mind that prior to yesterday, every single conversation we had was via instagram dms
the day of my event came. i got there at 7:30pm. she said she had to go get film at 8:50pm after already agreeing to arrive at 7:30pm. she ended up arriving 3 hours late, high might i add. but i decided to leave it because when she got there, all was forgotten.
on the 19th of November, we discussed how i was going to get the pictures & she told me i would get it ‘tomorrow’, as you guys can see, i never once gave her a deadline. she told me unprovoked that i will get it & it was at this point that she set a standard for herself.
now my problem here is that i don’t mind that there were delays or setbacks, but why must i be the one to chase you before you give me an update? i asked her how long left after being promised i would get it “tomorrow” and she replied me 4 days later.
please also bear in mind that whilst all this was going on, she was still doing things as she normally does, posting frequently, going to events etc. she was posting all while airing my dms, so that’s when i had to put my foot down
she explained to me what happened and i kind of felt bad about being harsh, i was completely understanding and i told her that it was fine and she should send it to me whenever she could.
so as you can see from the time stamps in the dms, she told me 5 days and i gave her from the 23rd of november to the 2nd of december. that is 9 days. i gave her 4 days later than she told me and she still didn’t say anything to me until i pulled up on her.
she was posting frequently, partying, photographing people and releasing the work she did for them the day or two days after each event. all the excuses she was giving me, for some reason it didn’t apply to these other people. boy i wonder why

anyway, all this happened and i was still okay with it. other than regularly updating my friends on the situation, i kept this story pretty contained. i really do not like attention at all and i hate that she has made me do this thread.
she did a lot of spreading on her own part as well which i thought was a pretty weird flex, but that’s besides the point.
anyway, would y’all believe she blocked from seeing her stories?
someone sent me a story of her out partying and she normally posts stuff like that in her story so i decided to check and i used my finsta to confirm that she did indeed block me. LMAO. that’s when i lost it

and this event she blocked me from seeing, she still managed to get the pictures out in time before she sent me mine. but after she sent me the apology shown above, i decided not to be angry and i wanted to free it and just get my pictures and be done with it.
i really did not even want to have to be harsh to her at all, but i felt like i was being taken for a mug and i don’t know why i should have continued to tolerate blatant disrespect.
anyway, finally finally o, about 3 weeks later, she sent me my pictures. i was very happy to be done with the situation because the whole thing was putting me in distress. i collected my pictures and even told my friends to stop sending me her posts bc i’m done with the issue.
i took all that because i hoped that the pictures would be at least worth the wait. i hired her because she’s a portrait-style photographer and she takes portrait- style pictures. and so i was expecting that
now, out of 63 pictures i’m going to post the 4 (FOUR) pictures that i thought were good enough and worth the wait. 4/63 o
now moyosore, i want you to answer this question to me honestly, can you submit these pictures to vogue?
i never commented on the nature of these pictures btw because i wanted to dead the issue immediately she sent it to me. it definitely was not worth the wait. now, i’m going to post pictures my friends with film cameras and disposables took.

this is just to show you guys how the pictures turned out. i didn’t even really care that they were bad, i just wanted the situation to be over. i declared the issue deaded and i wanted to go back to regular programming.
i didn’t subtweet this girl, i didn’t say a single thing about it. my friend who was listening to my frustrations about her work ethic took to post within the comfort of her own close friends story to say “fuck moyosore briggs”.
personally, i feel anyone can say whatever the fuck they like about whoever they like on their own close friends story. she’s branding it as an “attack” but it wasn’t directly said to her. she should be taking out her frustrations on the person who sent it to her.
secondly, if there was a general displeasure with your work, it’s because your work was bad and i and my guests were not satisfied. we can react however we want. knowing all this, we still did not bring this situation to the public because like i said, i do not like attention.
however, she took what someone said in their own close friends story as an attack and proceeded to subtweet us. she made it seem like she had haters, when in fact, no one actually was bothered by her vogue online shoot, honestly congrats to her. we don’t care.
i hired her because i liked her photography, if vogue liked it too then that’s superb. she made it seem like we were praying for her downfall or some shit and that’s where you have me fucked up. i proceeded to then sub tweet back after being provoked, hoping this will end it:
her friends were spreading a false narrative on their own private stories, so i went to meet them. one said the money i paid her was too small, like she wasn’t the one that charged me. she even sent me an invoice. was i supposed to say “oh no pls let me pay more?”
like i keep saying, i never gave her requirements for the type of pictures i wanted, i just wanted her to do her thing and do what she usually does that has gained her so much traction.
before this, i told myself if she provoked me any further i would post this thread, but even after, i still wanted to hear her out.
i muted and unfollowed her because i don’t need bad energy, but i was sent these tweets and that’s what really got me heated. nobody said anything on twitter but she took me there. now i gotta show the world who you really are
also, please this girl and i went to the same primary school, it’s the same privilege we all have so i’m just sitting here tryna figure out if it’s crack?
i hope this has cleared any of the confusion that this has caused. i don’t use twitter to tweet about my personal life so i really hate that i’ve had to do this. but it’s fucking annoying when someone is spreading a false narrative when you weren’t even gonna say shit
it’s very frustrating having an argument with someone who refuses to see the point and constantly has an answer for everything instead of just taking accountability. the point is not even about the photography style, or anything.
it was that it was an overall shit experience, and you are still tweeting about it like someone did something bad to you.
i’m over this. if you want to condone unprofessionalism instead of reprimanding her as a friend, then you’re setting her up for failure. i’m not speaking on this issue again.
