The fashion and modeling world is certainly familiar with Victoria's Secret, the world-renowned lingerie company and brand that is always known for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show event, which is often attended by top singers such as Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake. The appearances of the supermodels walking the runway with their characteristic wings are so dazzling that they often make other women jealous who also want to become Victoria's Secret Angels.

However, who would have thought that behind the glamour of the biggest fashion event, there are many dark sides and traumatic experiences for the models. Bridget Malcolm, one of the former Angels of Victoria's Secret, made a confession on her TikTok about the unpleasant experiences she had as a model for the world-famous lingerie brand. What is she like? Here are the portraits of Bridget Malcolm, a former Victoria's Secret Angel, and her confession.

On June 26, 2021, Bridget made a shocking confession in a TikTok video titled 'Too little too late Victoria's Secret' while wearing a bra and proving how skinny she was when she was a Victoria's Secret model.

In the TikTok video, she mentioned that when she was a model, she had a bra size of 30A, but now she has an ideal and healthy size of 34B.

Not only that, Malcolm also mentioned that she was rejected by Ed Razek, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Victoria's Secret, to participate in the 2017 fashion show because her body was not suitable.

The rejection was also based on Bridget Malcolm's one-inch increase in hip size, which Ed Razek deemed not good enough for the runway.

Malcolm's confession on Tiktok was only the beginning of her revealing Victoria's Secret's dark side. She then delved deeper into her traumatic experience as an angel in an interview with 60 minutes Australia.

Due to pressure and encouragement, she had implanted the belief that "The thinner, the better", she even went without eating for 3 days and only drank water in order to continue losing weight.

As a result, with her lifestyle, she experienced an eating disorder that caused her to suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, and frequent fainting. Her menstrual cycle also stopped when she was 25 years old and had an effect on her hair loss.

Malcolm said she had to rely on medication to treat her anxiety. She often feels tired and stressed because her body lacks nutrition during her time as a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Malcolm also shared about her unhealthy relationship with Victoria's Secret, where the conditions were very restrictive. Being a model and angel for the world's largest retail company became a traumatic experience in her life.

<nil>

She had to fight against depression, anorexia, orthorexia, and anxiety when she was 18 years old. Malcolm was encouraged by people in her career to use cocaine or engage in sexual activities to lose weight, even though she was underage at the time.

Lucky, now she can stop being a brand model that is said to be bankrupt and continue a healthy life. She no longer looks so thin and appears happier.
