It turns out that not even Victoria's Secret models themselves could live up to the crazy standards the brand put forward.
So, if VS is trying so hard to change, why are models like Malcolm speaking out now?While a step in the right direction, revamping the VS brand does not negate the experiences of models who suffered under the brand’s previous regime.“Let me take you on a journey through time and space,” the model says. “By the age of 18, I lived in three countries.” She goes on to say a much older man had groomed her. She had also been sexually assaulted several times.
“I developed PTSD,” she continues, “anorexia, anxiety and depression. I couldn’t socialize without drinking and was developing quite the reliance on Xanax and Ambien in order to get me through the night. On my 26th birthday, I had a nervous breakdown and couldn’t leave my house for a year.” Today, she is two years sober, four years in recovery from an eating disorder and is happy and strong. She explains that she couldn’t talk about her experiences before she reached where she is today, and that’s why she’s speaking out now.
“I’m solid in recovery, and I’m strong enough for any backlash. I wasn’t before this,” Malcolm concludes.
