'A random group of white folks came in to replace us at our own store,' one worker said.
“Queer Eye” — Netflix’s feel-good “more than a makeover” show that preaches self-love and acceptance — filmed an upcoming episode in a Philadelphia Old Navy store last week. But some workers say that they didn’t feel very accepted. In fact, employees of color claim that they were kept off-camera, despite having spent the week before preparing the store for the shoot, while several white workers from nearby suburban Old Navy outlets were reportedly brought in for the taping instead.
She also told Philadelphia Magazine: “I was told to go to the back of the store by [Old Navy managers] involved with the production. About six of my fellow co-workers were there, and we were shooed away from the camera as they filmed with these outside employees.” Many viewers and customers have begun calling out both the Netflix series and the store on social media, with some floating the hashtag #BoycottOldNavy. Many people questioned whether it was Old Navy or the “Queer Eye” producers who made the call to bring in the other work crew.
