Angels in hell: New York Times reveals terrible facts about Victoria Secret

For decades, Victoria's Secret was considered by many women to be the definition of feminity. Catalogs and company fashion shows were among the most talked about. Models called Angels (angels) gained international fame. However, a New York Times investigation pointed to a dark side of the company that is plagued by women, contempt, prejudice, and sexual harassment. Investing the prestige American included interviews with more than 30 current directors of Victoria's Secret, former employee, employees, partners, models and judicial documents.

Ed Razek, for decades, was one of L Brand's top directors, Victoria's mother company Secret. He was subjected to repeated complaints about improper conduct; he tried to kiss models and asked them to sit on their laps.

The directors said they had warned Leslie Wexner, L Brand's founder and executive director of the inappropriate behaviour of his replacement. Some women who had complained had faced his revenge. Andy Muise, a model, said he was barred from participating in the VS show after rejecting Ed Razek, who asked for sexual favors.

Ed Razek was seen with scepticism even before, following insulting statements indicating he would never take on plus-size and transgiar models.

The atmosphere in the company was such that Razek was considered Wexner's representative, leaving the impression that he was invincible. In many cases, Wexner himself was even said to abuse women.

Interviews with models and other employees point to the dark side of the company, which was no doubt when Wexner's connection to financialist Jeffrey Epstain, a criminal arrested for sexual abuse and abuse of minor trafficking was declassified. Epstein managed Wexner's multi-billion estate and was said to be seduced and abused by many women, disposing as Victoria's Secret representative.

After the NYT report, Tami Roberts Myers, L Brand's spokeswoman, said: “We are sorry about every time we missed the target and are fully committed to continued improvement and full accountability. ”

At no time, she did not object to the New York Times reports.

Ed Razek expressed through an email that <x0 reports are false, wrong and taken out of context”, while Wexner refused to comment.

This investigation appears to be a last, even stronger blow to the VS, the company that is going through the hardest days with hundreds of closed shops, the annulment of the annual show, and certainly criticism by girls and women.
