Former Victoria’s Secret Model Has Been Fired After Gaining “Half an Inch”
Former Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm has opened up about being rejected by a high-profile client after gaining “half an inch” around her waist, all while she was in the midst of battling anorexia.
The 27-year-old Australian model, who has been consistently vocal about her frustrations with the fashion industry’s concept of sizing, recently took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in a red bikini taken a few weeks after the aforementioned rejection.
“This was me, a few weeks after I got rejected from a high profile client. And now. Strong and happy. The reason for my rejection was ‘Bridget’s body does not look good enough’,” she wrote in the caption.
“The most messed up part of all of this though, is that I had been accepted by this client when I was half an inch smaller in previous years. I have been rewarded with my highest profile clients when my hips were at their smallest (33 inches). And when I gained half an inch from that, I lost those clients – being told that my body did not look good enough,” Malcolm wrote.
