他的Instagram上寫道：「今天早上我從一些女孩那裡聽到一件非常令人不安的消息，據說昨天在Balenciaga的模特兒試鏡會（Casting）上，Madia & Ramy（連續霸凌慣犯）舉辦了一場試鏡會，他們讓超過150位女孩在樓梯間等候，並跟他們說，他們必須留在那裡超過三小時，不能離開。照他們平常的作風，他們關上門就去吃午餐了，而且還把樓梯間的燈也關了，所有女孩只能透過她們手機的光線才能看得到東西。」
他還繼續寫道，「這不但是種殘酷的虐待，而且也很危險，讓許多跟我談過此事的女孩很受傷。大多數的女孩因為拒絕被當成像動物一樣對待，已經要求直接取消她們為Balenciaga走秀的機會，同樣還包括Hermes和Elie Saab，這兩個品牌也是交由他們負責選角。」

So true to my promise at #bofvoices that I would be a voice for any models, agents or all who see things wrong with this business I'm disappointed to come to Paris and hear that the usual suspects are up to the same tricks. I was very disturbed to hear from a number of girls this morning that yesterday at the Balenciaga casting Madia & Ramy (serial abusers) held a casting in which they made over 150 girls wait in a stairwell told them they would have to stay over 3 hours to be seen and not to leave. In their usual fashion they shut the door went to lunch and turned off the lights, to the stairs leaving every girl with only the lights of their phones to see. Not only was this sadistic and cruel it was dangerous and left more than a few of the girls I spoke with traumatized. Most of the girls have asked to have their options for Balenciaga cancelled as well as Hermes and Ellie Saab who they also cast for because they refuse to be treated like animals. Balenciaga part of Kering it is a public company and these houses need to know what the people they hire are doing on their behalf before a well deserved law suit comes their way. On top of that I have heard from several agents, some of whom are black that they have received mandate from Lanvin that they do not want to be presented with women of color. And another big house is trying to sneak 15 year olds into paris! It's inconceivable to me that people have no regard for human decency or the lives and feelings of these girls, especially when too too many of these models are under the age of 18 and clearly not equipped to be here but god forbid well sacrifice anything or anyone for an exclusive right? If this behavior continues it's gonna be a long cold week in paris. Please keep sharing your stories with me and I will continue to to share them for you. It seems to be the only way we can force change and give the power back to you models and agents where it rightfully belongs. And I encourage any and all to share this post #watchthisspace james scully（@jamespscully）分享的貼文 於 2017 年 2月 月 27 10:40上午 PST 張貼

他也警告像Balenciaga母公司開雲（Kering）這樣的上市公司，必須清楚自己聘請的是怎樣的人，以免這些人在外面打著他們的名號，幫他們惹上了官司還不自知。
除此之外，James Scully還指控Lanvin高層似乎刻意排除非白人的模特兒，而且還有個大品牌，正試圖非法偷渡年僅15歲的模特兒到巴黎走秀。
面對此番指控，Balenciaga證實，之前模特兒選角時確實出現了一些問題，而負責選角的Maida Gregori Boina及Rami Fernandes也立刻被開除了，並宣布再也不與該兩位選角導演的經紀公司合作。

Balenciaga也特別發表公開聲明表示，「在星期天，2月26日，Balenciaga注意到那天的模特兒選角有些問題，品牌立刻做出處置，對選角過程進行激進的改變，包括終止與目前選角公司的合作關係。此外，Balenciaga也向受到這個狀況影響的這些模特兒所屬的經紀公司發出書面道歉函，請他們分享給這些模特兒們。Balenciaga譴責這樣的事件，也將持續盡全力確保模特兒在最受尊重的工作環境下工作。」
LVMH集團主席暨執行長Bernard Arnault的兒子Antoine Arnault更直接在James Scully的Instagram貼文下回應：「假如你聽到像這樣的事情發生在我們旗下的品牌裡，請直接與我聯絡。」目前身為Berluti執行長和Loro Piana主席的Antoine Arnault，他的另一半是知名模特兒Natalia Vodianova。

而對於刻意排除非白人的指控，Lanvin嚴正否認此事，斥責這是無稽之談，並舉上季的發表會為例，證明公司絕對不會做出這類種族歧視的行為。Lanvin創意總監Bouchra Jarrar也在秋冬發表會後表示：「他們用種族歧視的罪名污辱了這些品牌。他們到底在說什麼？我們的更衣室擁有來自各種不同種族的女孩們，事實上，這些人裡甚至連一個法國人都沒有！」

模特兒遭到工作霸凌的事件在時尚界裡早已不是新聞，英國名模Edie Campbell就表示，James Scully提到的狀況根本是小菜一碟，業界更誇張的行徑多不勝數。
「那大概不是我所聽到最令人震驚的案例，我真的算是非常幸運的人，我一路上遇到的雇主與經紀人都非常好，讓我成為少數1%能夠走到現在地位的人。但我曾經看到許多令人生氣難過的事情，我曾見過女孩們被要求在攝影棚裡繞圈跑步，這就像個牲畜市場一樣。」Edie Campbell說道。

Thank you to @jamespscully for calling out those people within the fashion industry who abuse their positions of power. And this is also a thankyou to all those who choose NOT to demean, mistreat, or belittle models, assistants, or interns. A post shared by Edie Campbell (@ediebcampbell) on Feb 28, 2017 at 1:56am PST

「這其中時尚界的問題在於，這是個極為非正式的產業，許多底線被踩過，它允許人們能做出在其他『工作』環境中不被接受的事情，這也是個封閉的體系，假如你勇於發聲，你要面臨的真正威脅就是你再也無法在這個產業立足了。這也就是為什麼James目前所做的事情是如此不可思議的勇敢，應該得到讚賞。」
歌手暨模特兒Rina Sawayama也表示，她曾在與大型國際品牌的拍照過程中遭遇到許多令人傻眼的種族歧視：「有時候當你成為所有人當中唯一一位有色人種，你會覺得好像你需要低聲下氣，反正你會在那裡就只是運氣好，一定要取悅他們。但幸運的是業界的狀況正慢慢有所改善，輿論也改變了，也許還需要很多年的努力，但社群媒體會讓這個過程加速。」
