"That was embarrassing": Meg Ferguson's 'Project Runway' tantrum leaves Twitter furious

Project Runway Season 19 kickstarted this month and has not disappointed in terms of drama and entertainment. While fans absolutely love the designer outfits, they are also calling out some of the designers for their behavior.This time, it is Meg Ferguson who is under the scanner for her “embarrassing” tantrums. In the second episode of Project Runway Season 19, the drama led to Ferguson quitting the show.Ferguson joined the reality TV series to showcase her designs that promote body positivity and highlight fashion for plus-size bodies. Although her thought was noble, she couldn’t stand her ground when a heated argument ended up in her being shunned by other designers on the show.What happened on 'Project Runway' Season 19?The designers were asked to create an elegant three-piece streetwear ensemble in Episode 2. While the artists were working on their tasks, designer Prajje Oscar Jean Baptiste raised his concern about not wanting to showcase his design on a white model. As his outfit was inspired by his Haitian culture, Baptiste felt that a Black model should wear his design. View this profile on Instagram PRAJJÉ OSCAR | HAITI (@prajjeoscar) • Instagram photos and videosWhen he put his concern on the table, Ferguson lost her cool and blamed the fashion industry for “white-washing and excluding plus-sized fashion.” After her speech on the issue, judge Christian Siriano helped Baptiste switch models. However, this was not the actual reason why Ferguson quit Project Runway.After Baptiste, designer Kenneth Barlis wanted to do the same as his designs drew inspiration from his Asian heritage. He approached Ferguson to switch his white model. Instead of proving herself as an ally, she rudely addressed Barlis and said that she wasn’t making any promises.Barlis, who doesn’t like confrontations, told Ferguson that doesn't have to help him if she's not comfortable with the idea. Baptiste heard the conversation and called out the Oklahoma designer for her behavior toward Barlis. This triggered her and instead of pacifying the situation, she blasted at Barlis. The heated drama led to fellow designers coming to Barlis’ rescue.Ferguson, who apparently had a panic attack, stormed out and the next day, and Siriano revealed that she had left Project Runway for good.Twitter is furious at FergusonFans found the entire tantrum annoying and embarrassing. While many called her out for it, some were pleased that she quit.Here’s how furious Twitterati reacted:Julius E@juliusae3Meg Project Runway has been on for 19 seasons.
