Heidi Klum responds to Victoria’s Secret relaunch | Stars

entertainment">The lingerie brand has been hit by accusations of a misogynistic corporate culture, misconduct by one of its managers and ongoing criticism of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. That catwalk show, at its peak around the turn of the century, good for 12 million viewers in the US alone, according to critics, painted an unrealistic picture of the female body.

entertainment">In 2019 Secret’s Secret came under considerable fire. Leslie Wexner, the founder of the lingerie brand, was forced to resign as CEO. His business ties to former Hollywood boss Jeffrey Epstein played a major role in this. Last year, Wexner completely severed ties with the lingerie brand.
