More than 100 models have signed an open letter with the Model Alliance and TIME'S UP following a recent New York Times exposé on the "entrenched culture of misogyny, bullying and harassment" at Victoria's Secret.
But as reiterated by Model Alliance, they should be well past the stages of"learning and listening," given the severity and duration of complaints. At the head of the NYT report, it is stated that former L Brands CMO Ed Razek was accused of trying to kiss models, asking them"to sit on his lap," and even"[touching] one's crotch ahead of the 2018 Victoria's Secret fashion show.
We write today because the New York Times investigative report"'Angels' in Hell: The Culture of Misogyny Inside Victoria's Secret," shows that the culture of misogyny, bullying, and harassment at Victoria's Secret is even more egregious and more entrenched than previously understood.
We believe that this moment can be a wake-up call for Victoria's Secret. This is an opportunity to take meaningful steps towards ending these abuses by joining the RESPECT Program, as models have called for since December 2018. The RESPECT Program—a program of the Model Alliance—is the only existing accountability program designed by and for models.
