TikTok star criticizes Victoria’s Secret – via flash mob

The US musician Jax (seen here in a selfie from April 29) takes on the fashion label “Victoria’s Secret”.

Those responsible for “Victoria’s Secret” may not have liked this action at all: the US musician Jax sharply criticizes the fashion label – by means of a spectacular flash mob in front of one of the shops.

This woman has a mission: Last month, American singer Jax (26) released her new song “Victoria’s Secret”. Celebrating fashion brands is nothing new in the music industry, but the song is more of a reckoning.

In the song, the musician sharply criticizes the fashion label. Among other things, she sings: “Photoshop and skinny models on magazine covers told me I was overweight. I stopped eating.”

She’s particularly harsh on the song’s chorus, where she says, “I know ‘Victoria’s Secret’, she’s an old man who lives in Ohio and makes money off girls like me. He’s profiting from problems with his own body and selling the image of skin and bones with big breasts – ‘Victoria’s Secret’ is really a guy.”

What is meant by these lines is the American businessman Leslie Wexner (84), who bought the company in 1982. The song, which has meanwhile been clicked millions of times, probably didn’t taste good anyway – but Jax went one step further.

Because Jax summarily drummed up a whole team of dancers and organized a spectacular, colorful flash mob to their song – and of all places in front of a “Victoria’s Secret” branch in New York’s Manhattan district.

She then published a video of the action TikTok, where it has already been clicked around 3.3 million times. There are also over two million views on Instagram, where she also shared the video.

There is a sad story behind Jax’s song “Victoria’s Secret”: In addition to her musical career, the singer also works as a babysitter. One of the children she looks after is Chelsea (13)

When Jax picked up the teenager from a mall, Chelsea was in tears, she says. The girl wanted to buy a bathing suit from “Victoria’s Secret” – but a friend wanted to tell her that the suit would make her “flat and fat”.

Jax struggled with eating disorders herself during her childhood and adolescence. To protect Chelsea from this, she wrote the song “Victoria’s Secret” – which is directed against idealized images of beauty.

While Jax is probably a completely unknown name in Germany, the 26-year-old is now a TikTok celebrity in the States. Over ten million people follow her on the platform. And there are likely to be a few more after this campaign.

Jax first appeared on the scene in 2015 on the talent show American Idol. Here, the then 18-year-old achieved third place. (tab)
