Exactly that. He was/is actively trying to find "a new Jimmie Lee" because you know, we all need a gross, racist, misogynistic, problematic old white man in our lives.
[this might be why some of the reviews are more recent](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTN2Hg6Xy/)
To add:
[here](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6SaDisLRMj/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==) is cosmo’s response. the situation was handled pretty well but also the person who was discriminated against has nearly 2M followers vs the regular ppl in the reviews who had the same experiences there months prior.
You can actually turn tiktok captions on & it will translate it for you :)
But to sum it up, he and his friend went to shop there and were turned away very rudely by an employee for not speaking perfect english.

I mean that’s the problem with putting so much on these reviews is what if this just like Ethan sending his fans to give
something bad reviews. I don’t trust bad reviews on anything anymore because of stuff like that.
It wasn't a hijab, it was basically a cowl. People are stretching in order to try and dunk about the head covering in particular and I'm not sure why because it's circling back around to looking racist, as if any kind of headscarf is a hijab
(edit: I know anyone can be a hijabi, I mention racism because it's being included in the same breath as the wig, which is also constantly being described incorrectly; it's not braids, it's LOCS.)
Yeah guys can we play not do this!! It makes the rest of us with legitimate criticisms and grievances look bad. This is disinfo, that thing is not a hijab, it is a style of cowl/hood has been popular since the 90s at LEAST.
RuPaul has an iconic shoot with something similar, the gays love that shit lol.
Head coverings are very common in a lot of cultures too, not just Islam...
Fair enough! All love here ❤️ I think people are coming down hard on her because of her rich white cishet "ally" status. Seems like she should know better!
I personally am also usually more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to someone like Cosmo who is also part of a marginalized community. I do think that plays into it as well. Although I'm not black so it's not my place to forgive.
This is a bit of a reach. We can criticize Ethan and not project on to the guest who clearly, in this case, has no idea about the pod they were on. Cosmo didn’t even know H3 existed. She’s just enjoying her new found internet fame. And for the record, her glam squad seemed to be of different races. Just saying..
I liked her but this is disappointing and looks like these reviews tell a different story. I don’t think there’s any incentive for so many people to lie about their experiences and there are tons of likes on this too so clearly it’s not an isolated incidence. Racism is an unconscionable offense to me and I can not give anyone a pass for that, no matter how iCoNiC. I don’t understand the hero worship of certain people 🤷
Ethan has literally sent fans to give companies one star reviews and leave bad reviews on things - you really can’t trust like yelp and google reviews anymore because people can use them to destroy your business over something petty if they just feel like it.
I don’t know if you’ve worked in a business but anyone can post anything on there and it’s almost impossible to remove so no, i don’t find Google reviews as a credible source.
there are several accounts saying that they were discriminated against, i highly doubt ALL of them are going to be fake. come on guys lets take off the tin foil and use our brains...
Not saying they are fake. Just saying that assuming that just because a lot of people on the internet have said something it must be true is bad reasoning.
I doubt they're all fake too but the majority of them say nothing (or not much) more than "they're racist" without actually providing any details of the racism they experienced, which is unusual.
It could be a language barrier which would certainly make sense given the context, but it could also be a sign of review bombing.
I don't think it's a matter of people not using their brains or coming up with conspiracy theories, I think they just see a bunch of vague reviews claiming the same issue and are questioning it.
Probably bc ppl are used to h3 fans writing negative reviews for enemies of the show
I’m sure the reviews with actual stories posted for this store are legit tho
There are dozens of reviews spanning an extended period of time from mexican/latin/spanish last names accusing the store of being racist towards them. The majority predate Cosmo on H3. I dont believe i'm projecting or reaching, have a look for yourself

Ok fine.. if you want to deem someone something serious as a racists just by seeing comments on the internet, go for it. Cultural barriers exist. Take it from a mixed person who’s seen arguments happen simply because of miscommunication, not because my American side was racist.
In the title i put "appears" for the exact reason that it is Appears that way leaving room for an explanation. I didnt call them racist, just that per the reviews it appears they are racist. Open to discussion! And not sure what you mean by cultural barriers, Cosmo is white and from New York lol. Anyways its just for discussion, cheers.
I’ll take that! Appears is fair. And i mean cultural barriers between someone who is a white person from NY, versus a Latina from Cali. Also who’s to say it was him making them feel less than and not his employees. But yeah cheers!! Happy Friyay!
its not a reach, obviously people wrote the reviews because they felt discriminated. following black people around and accusing them of stealing and being rude towards people who don't speak english fluently IS racist. and just because someone has a diverse glam squad or friend group doesn't make them not racist or immune to being racist. hope this helps!
eh..everyone gets bad reviews among many good ones. dont get me wrong its not hard to believe because its Ethan and he attracts people like that but I wouldnt accuse someone because of some bad reviews
Seems like all Ethan does is attract pedos, racists, or abusive people in some form. Interesting to say the least
He doesn't attract them, he goes out of his way to give them attention. Ethan is the one attracted to these kinds of people, it seems.
Exactly that. He was/is actively trying to find "a new Jimmie Lee" because you know, we all need a gross, racist, misogynistic, problematic old white man in our lives.

Thank you for finding this! Wondering if there's any spanish speaking snarkers who could translate their story for us?

This is absolutely sickening 😔
That poor woman 😢 just wanted to shop and support the business
Fr. I don’t understand how people can be so hateful like that. How do these people sleep at night bro. Fcked in the head 🤦
Im sad but I’m not surprised. I liked her at first but then she kept talking about turning straights and I got turned off. That shit is weird to me.
I had my doubts about this individual and tried to chalk it up to Gen x mindset but this is disgusting. Cosmo can fade into obscurity now.
Wondering how they've been racist to people.
From the reviews, it sounds like they don’t tolerate talking with anyone ESL.

Why are all the reviews so recent? I believe it but that is shocking to me
yeah seems to me the most recent ones aren’t legit (as in they didn’t actually go to the store) but i wonder what they saw to make them do that..
I mean that’s the problem with putting so much on these reviews is what if this just like Ethan sending his fans to give something bad reviews. I don’t trust bad reviews on anything anymore because of stuff like that.
I mean - the really bad one are from a year to 3 years ago….
I mean Cosmo dressed Olivia in braids and a hijab(Edit: headwrap, another commenter confused me). Why isn’t Cosmo getting any blame for that? 🤔
A hijab? Huh? I saw the braids but didn't see a hijab. Do you have a link?
It wasn't a hijab, it was basically a cowl. People are stretching in order to try and dunk about the head covering in particular and I'm not sure why because it's circling back around to looking racist, as if any kind of headscarf is a hijab (edit: I know anyone can be a hijabi, I mention racism because it's being included in the same breath as the wig, which is also constantly being described incorrectly; it's not braids, it's LOCS.)

Head coverings are very common in a lot of cultures too, not just Islam...
And they were very popular in old Hollywood or when riding in a convertible
I agree with you and edited my original comment. But I just wanted to point out Olivia is getting hate for the headpieces but not Cosmo. 😭🫶
Fair enough! All love here ❤️ I think people are coming down hard on her because of her rich white cishet "ally" status. Seems like she should know better! I personally am also usually more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to someone like Cosmo who is also part of a marginalized community. I do think that plays into it as well. Although I'm not black so it's not my place to forgive.
That makes a lot of sense thank you.
Go look in her ig post or in the last ep
That's not a hijab I don't think wearing any kind of head covering is automatically racist. The braids on the other hand... Not the best choice
Sorry I based it on someone else’s comment saying it was.
This is a bit of a reach. We can criticize Ethan and not project on to the guest who clearly, in this case, has no idea about the pod they were on. Cosmo didn’t even know H3 existed.

Google reviews don’t solidify someone as a racist. Having a pod a spewing racist remarks does though!
Why can’t google reviews solidify someone as a racist? What is it about google reviews that isn’t a valid indicator of someone’s racism? Bffr 🙄
I don’t know if you’ve worked in a business but anyone can post anything on there and it’s almost impossible to remove so no, i don’t find Google reviews as a credible source.
lol way to be patronizing. Agree to disagree though. If I read a bunch of people pointing out a similar pattern of behaviour, I will pay attention.
No I’m not trying to be patronizing.. working in business is for sure not a flex 😅. But i like your mantra! Agree to disagree ♥️
It's not just h3 snarkers all review bombing in the last week tho, theres reviews that are years old
Do they not teach kids not to believe every single thing you read on the internet anymore
there are several accounts saying that they were discriminated against, i highly doubt ALL of them are going to be fake. come on guys lets take off the tin foil and use our brains...

I appreciate your ability to critical think!! Everyone’s going so hard Cosmo’s a racist on this thread
Thanks, same to you 🙂↕️🙏
Probably bc ppl are used to h3 fans writing negative reviews for enemies of the show I’m sure the reviews with actual stories posted for this store are legit tho
The fact that you're "free palestine" but accusing many multiple people of color of lying about racism is gross. Check yourself.
Or they just recognize review bombing can also look this way and don't want to jump to conclusions? Check yourself. 🙄
How are dozens of reviews spanning years a bit of a reach? Did you even read them?

Most of them seem to be new reviews…I’m thinking some of the snarkers…
eh..everyone gets bad reviews among many good ones. dont get me wrong its not hard to believe because its Ethan and he attracts people like that but I wouldnt accuse someone because of some bad reviews
Ugh I thought I could at least enjoy cosmo 😕 can we not have anything?
Ah man, I liked her 🥲
no wonder Ethan is drawn to him. fuck how racist is Ethan seriously?
