The modelling industry seems so unhealthy and dark to me. The idea of already slim women being told to lose weight is pretty messed up in my opinion.

I think every job has a dark side to ‘it’ and the glamour industry is always in the light for these things. At the end of the day is just another job to give you that pay check....and if u don’t simply do what u have been told, then u lose it. You have the power to take another path if you choose to😌. Some people are not just suited for it, not every tall skinny woman, has the potential to be model, and that’s fine....coz there is a lot more to deal with, in this industry

Hmmm...I've been modeling here in Los Angeles for about five years, and have never experienced any of this. I am with Elite Model Management, and they do a wonderful job of nurturing and protecting me. I of course, have many friends I've met through the industry, and have never heard of sexual abuse. There's a lot of bad people who claim to be photographers and agents who will simply take advantage of young girls, but nobody legit is abusing anyone or giving them drugs. Again, I've been in this industry for five years now (I support myself and make a living by modeling) and have never seen this crap. You need to avoid the wrong people. Make sure you're signing with a legit agency like Elite, Next or Whilemena. Elite encourages me to stay FIT, not thin. Meaning, they don't tell me to starve myself, but to make sure I'm working out at the gym to keep my muscle. It's part of the job. So Kara, I'm not sure what you've seen, but perhaps you're in a part of the industry that's not legit. Again, there's many people who will pretend they are for real, just to take advantage of girls whether its steeling their money, or abusing them. Get yourself a legit agent and this crap won't happen.

poor woman! I m happy that you are feeling better now!
so sad how your childhood determine your future choices, this women is neither stupid nor a whore, but because she had no landmark what so ever, she made a series of bad choices, meeting all the wrong people being unbable to say no, or to stop this infernal spiral I work in the model industry and this is a reality, but luckily not the only one. I hope she'll be ok for now on. Love from Paris
I tip my hat in respect to this lady for admitting all of the bad things she got up to and what was done to her. Hopefully it brings the awareness to the industry secrets that she is trying to expose. Good on you gurl, good on you.
her mother took her to BARS Are YOU JOKING OMG may god bless her and GiVE HER strength .
This really broke my heart she’s been through a lot
I was severely underweight when I was a kid due to a digestive disorder that I’m still struggling with. People told me they wished they were skinny like me and that I should be a model. Then, when I finally got control of my body weight again, I gained back the pounds I needed (with the help of a dietitian) and now I’m the weight I need to be to donate blood (although my iron count is low and I need to get that back up). My ribs are no longer visible. I can stand for longer periods of time. I’m no longer in constant pain. However, people keep telling me that I need to lose weight or that I used to look so pretty. Or “what would the boys think?” I don’t care what those people say. It took me a damn long time to get my weight up. I’m 125 pounds (the minimum weight to donate blood is 120) and I used to have a low BMI. They keep telling me “oh but you need to lose ten more pounds! Get out of the triple digits” like? Go away? You’re not a dietitian. These are my aunts saying this too. They take my mom (who is overweight due to birthing seven children and taking a medicine that causes weight gain) and say that I’m gonna be like her if I don’t lose weight. These are people who own nightclubs. None of them are doctors. I’m studying medicine right now and making sure to watch what I eat so I can maintain my weight while avoiding heart attack territory. I’m proud of my weight. Anyone else who thinks I’m overweight can fuck off.

Really amazing of her to come out and talk about her story... so many keep it quiet forever for fear of not getting a contract ever again...
It is not okay to be overly obese or thin. Neither is healthy.
Thank you for sharing your moving experience with us; anorexia nervosa is one of the most severe psychological conditions. This medical problem has physiological, mental, and psychiatric disorders. Thank you very much for expressing and sharing your incredible story with the rest of the world through the web!
God bless this woman, she has gone through so so much
she's been through so much i hope she's doing well now💗
My God, you poor, poor soul. My heart aches for you. May you heal through this trauma
Being an ambivert, personally thinking of partying every other night seems like a headache....I mean it’s fine sometimes but not every other night?! Like duh I need my beauty sleep!
Don't ever judge a person off their looks, you really never know what someone's been through. So many think that beautiful people have it easy.
THAT MUST BE SOOOOO TRAUMATIZING, GLAD SHE GOT BETTER, STAY STRONG💪😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!
She was one of the first ones to speak up about abuse fro powerful people who lures models and actress!
Sweet being I hope she grew to be a Person who knows that she deserves all the love and care and genuine balance and sincerity
What a brave young woman for sharing her story. Salute.
The fast, exciting music at the part where she's talking about her "jet set" life, is really inappropriate considering that life was so destructive.
When I was younger and much thinner, I auditioned for an agency that stated that weight didn’t matter but then proceed to be impressed with me being (at the time) a size double 0. Thank goodness I eventually walked away. It’s dangerous
I remember I was contracted to model at the age of 14 and my mom said fuck that because she was in a modeling agency in Puerto Rico and she went through hell over there
The model industry may look glamorous from the outside, but there’s a deep dark truth about it. Never assume that modelling is just sugar and gold.

I went to school with someone who's come very far in the modeling industry. There is a lot of parties and a lot of drugs, and even when she was stick thin and probably had the tiniest body I knew compared to her height, she was still told to drop so and so in weight before an important fashion show. I mean... it seems hard as hell, especially if you aim for high fashion, and the industry is still brutal, but I think the most important thing is to have your wits with you and a stable network of friends and family. I think eating disorders and a hectic lifestyle is the real killer, so being balanced and taking care of yourself is important.

As a young girl, I used to dream of being in show business but after watching so many documentaries and news stories of how so many lives were ruined by the industry, I'm so glad that I ditched those dreams when I became an adult. I still LOVE entertainment but I'm content with just being a fan. I write fan fiction and fantasize about being with certain celebrities and I'm absolutely fine with that. Being a wealthy, famous celebrity isn't as glamorous as it seems as there's many pressures and temptations that many people can't resist. If you put out a public image that isn't really you, people will assume that that's really who you are. NEVER allow people to change your true self because it will eat you alive
The fashion industry is vile. The models from the 60s looked far nicer than the hideous waif like sticks these days. People like that outspoken twit Karl Largerfeld (?) don't help.

Even though I am a plus size girl and not your typical model type, but I was messaged by a plus size modeling agency and they asked me if I was willing to show sexy pics to "audition to be a model". I blocked them. Not all agencies are like this but some are.
I am not really saying that the modeling industry has to go. But I say that they need to stop this partys with cocaine and all that bad thing. They should stop rape and abuse and any other dark thing. This is not right. 😢 I always wanted to be a model it was my dream. But after I saw and read all this things not only hers but from others too I am actually re thinking.
Poor woman, she’s been through a lot. God bless her

Nicki D eating disorders destroy your organs and your body, but that doesn't mean you can't get pregnant at all. Usually, when you're really skinny and extremely underweight, you don't even get your period anymore, cause your body is only focused on keeping you alive and it doesn't have the strength to carry a baby, but it can happen that you get your period once you eat at least enough for some of your organs to work. She was very skinny and weak, so she would've probably lost the baby later.
