Netflix hangs Old Navy out to dry in Netflix whitewashing scandal
Employees of a Philadelphia Old Navy say that after they spent hours making the store presentable for an upcoming episode of, workers of color were replaced by white employees from other stores when the cameras were rolling.
On August 21, Old Navy employee Monae Alvarado published a Facebook post claiming “Today they brought all these workers from other store around the region and they were all white. They had us standing in the back not to be seen while the other workers from another store get to work on our floor like it’s their store” after she and others had worked all night to get the location ready.
“I don’t know what happened behind the scenes, or overnight, but what I can tell you is that there [is] no way I would ever have allowed production to move POC [people of color] to the back,” wrote France. “I should also mention that I had one person join me on camera, from Old Navy. She was African American. This is the last I will say on this matter.
“At Old Navy, we celebrate the diversity of our teams and our customers and foster an environment of inclusion and belonging,” the company told Philadelphia Magazine. “We were proud to work with Theshow to film at our store in Philadelphia and to feature our local store manager on camera.
