Victoria’s Secret

... tits like that and a waist like that, I'd probably be-

A Victoria's Secret supermodel?

She's also, like-

[laughs]

When his name came up on the credits, I go, "I know him." [laughs] Shane doesn't think my jokes are funny anymore, so he's like...

[laughs] But it was at Miz West, um, in Santa Monica, you know, the comedy club out there that's, like, behind the Victoria's Secret.

And he came-

Oh, the theater?

But keep in mind, there were so many brands that were trying to be more inclusive.

Also, we saw Victoria's Secret, they were trying to be more inclusive and not, you know, uphold the impossible beauty standard, but they only did that when the money started dropping, so clock it.

But I mean, I made a video about that, so definitely watch that video.

But of course I can't talk about all the brands that popped up during this time, so we are gonna talk about Lizzo's.

Adidas launched a My Body, My Swim campaign that included Maya Jama, who people immediately pointed out upheld the conventional beauty ideal rather than challenging it.

Then Mattel introduced tall, petite, and curvy Barbies in 2015, conveniently timed to coincide with the start of their sales declining.

So it's interesting, did y'all start including more curvy or Barbies because you really wanted to or because the money was not giving the way it was giving back in the day? Just some food for thought that also Victoria's Secret, we talked about this before, but they rebranded as a collective of diverse women in 2021.

And the timing was interesting because it was when they were getting canceled and also the sales were just not giving what they used to give.

We're going to add a little more context to MC2 and we're going to talk about just how prevalent they were working with some of the biggest retailers in the business.

This article was published by Business Insider and the headline is, Major retailers including Nordstrom, Macy's, and JCPenney's reportedly joined Victoria's Secret in using a modeling agency with ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

This article was published by Bethany Biron and it came out on August 19th, 2019.

It's a good question.

All of these companies, they're not wise enough to do some basic research on people they're going into business with, people that are going to represent their brand.

You're telling me they're not that smart? Well, if that's the case, then it's no wonder that all of these brick-and-mortar retailers are going out of business, because if they can't figure out that Jeffrey Epstein's a scumbag and Jean-Luc Brunel is no better, well, I don't know how they're going to balance a budget.

Bloomberg reported on Monday that MC2 Model Management, the modeling agency accused of supplying underage women to Epstein's alleged sex trafficking operation, worked with several major retailers beyond Victoria's Secret.

And, you know, it's par for the course.

So, who were they and why were they never charged? The DOJ has redacted seven of the ten names, citing privacy concerns, a justification the new law explicitly forbids for anyone other than victims.

However, three of the names were left visible – Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modelling agent who died in prison awaiting trial, and Leslie Wexner, the billionaire retail tycoon behind Victoria's Secret.

Wexner's inclusion is explosive.

For decades, he was Epstein's primary patron, entrusting the former math teacher with total control over his billions.

Brands like Juicy Couture, Gab, J.

Crew, Coach, Victoria's Secret, Esprit, K-Swiss.

They're suddenly cool again.

I can't believe this.

who's this guy that's interesting i

don't see a man like that going to a workshop Because what I'm thinking is, like, Victoria's Secret kind of style, you know?

You know,

like, before the show, they have, like, that red carpet thing and everything.

What's it going to be? They're not ready to walk down the aisle.

Wait.

The aisle is for weddings, huh? What is it like when Victoria's Secret, when they walk down?

The runway?

Is this where they're jumping around New York? Yeah, they're leaping around New York and there's people looking up.

And so what they do is they jump onto a Victoria's Secret ad and disguise themselves as the bra on this lady.

And then they're like, look, look, I'm touching boobs.

If this is a kid's film, what is with the sexual harassment stuff? They're
