First came the catalogs glossy mass mailings packed full of impossibly beautiful women modeling sexy, classy lingerie. Then came the all-pink stores in malls across America. Then, the ultimate extravaganza the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, a feast for the eyes featuring the brand's Angels, who became instant celebrities and had men watching in droves.
But now comes the scandal. According to the new Hulu docuseries Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons, Victoria's Secret's former CEO Les Wexner shared a decades-long friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in 2019 at age 66 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. "All the top models who have worked for the brand from Gisele Bündchen and Kendall Jenner to Gigi and Bella Hadid - are said to be horrified to learn about Wexner's close connection with 'pervy' Epstein," a source tells In Touch. "This must be absolute hell for them. No supermodel wants her name associated with Epstein. There are also fears that the full story isn't even out there yet, that even more sordid secrets like how everyone hated Heidi Klum because they were jealous of her - will be revealed!"
TWISTED TIES
Epstein and Wexner were so close, the documentary claims, that Wexner once gave power of attorney to the financier, and Epstein's private plane famously dubbed The Lolita Express - was previously owned by one of Wexner's companies. According to the documentary, Epstein also allegedly posed as a Victoria's Secret modeling recruiter in the '90s to prey on women. (In 2019, model-actress Alicia Arden claimed Epstein sexually assaulted her in 1997 at a Santa Monica hotel after he lured her there for what she thought was a modeling audition.)
