“Time isn’t being kind toVictoria’s Secret,“Bloombergreported in July 2019.
In 2015, an anonymous source toldPage Sixthat “the money isn’t what it used to be.”
Instead of making millions, Angels were reportedly being offered mere $100,000 contracts.
This is why your favorite models have called it quits.
So, why did she quit modeling for the lingerie retailer?
Bundchen kept her reasons to herself until she published the bookLessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.
When the brand offered the supermodel a two-year contract extension, Bundchen admitted to feeling conflicted.
“I will always love Victoria’s Secret.
It has been an absolutely amazing time.”
But she doesn’t appear to have any regrets.
“I had an amazing time with them,” the former supermodel toldInStylein 2017.
Her reason, however, was very different from Klum’s.
“It wasn’t aboutmodeling clothesanymore; I felt like a piece of meat.”
“This is what Victoria’s Secret models do,” he told her, according to Bisutti.
“This is why they hired you.
If you want tobe like Gisele, this is what you have to do.”
Bisutti later announced on Twitter that she left Victoria’s Secret to be “a Proverbs 31 wife.”
At the time, rumors alleged that Kerr’s “difficult reputation” was to blame.
However, the former lingerie model toldThe Sydney Morning Heraldthat she was shocked to hear such reports.
I’m sure anyone that has worked with me would agree that it’s not true, she revealed.
According to the Angel, she was the one who decided to leave Victoria’s Secret.
“This is a natural evolution,” she told the publication.
The thing is, I’ve been modeling since I was 13.
I’m now entering a new phase in my life.
But not long after starring in the show, Heatherton severed ties with the company.
In an interview withTimesome three years later, the model finally divulged why.
“I look back like, ‘Really?'”
She said shefocused on healthy eatingand exercising multiple times a day, but to no avail.
Instead, Heatherton decided to listen to her body and stop modeling for Victoria’s Secret.
She alsotook to Instagramto encourage other women to become “the truest versions of themselves.”
In a way, that’s true.
Kloss divulged the full story when speaking to BritishVoguein July 2019.
At the time, Kroes had only positive things to say.
“But looking back, I stopped [Victoria’s Secret] at the perfect moment.”
Kroes still models, as of this writing, but does so selectively.
WhenPeopleasked Ambrosio if the gossip was true, the model replied, “I don’t know.
I can’t even believe that I’m here still.”
“And it was time for me,” she explained.
So why exactly did she decide it was time to hang up her wings?
The longtime Angel toldPeoplethat she was planning to shift gears.
