Victoria's Secret modeling industry controversies

Overview

Discussions surrounding Victoria's Secret have centered on model compensation and broader industry working conditions. While the brand has not publicly disclosed specific remuneration for its fashion show models, historical estimates suggest a downward trend in pay scales. Previously, top-tier models reportedly earned millions of dollars annually, whereas more recent estimates suggest high-level earners may receive approximately $1 million plus bonuses.

Beyond financial compensation, former models from the 1990s have raised concerns regarding the dark side of the modeling industry. These accounts highlight systemic issues including sexism, ageism, abuse, coercion, and unfair working conditions. Specific mentions include the experiences of Karen Mulder, who spoke about mistreatment after achieving global fame through the brand.
