It is the most arduous task to find a woman who has never been the victim of abuse or harassment. Former British model Kate Moss, 48, revealed in an interview with BBC radio that she became part of this sad statistic when she was still a teenager and taking her first steps in her career.
She said it all happened during a photo shoot for a bra catalog. “I was only 15 years old, probably, and he said, ‘Take off your shirt’. So I took it off. And I was very shy about my body,” said the Brit. “Then he said, ‘Take off your bra.’ I felt like something was wrong, so I grabbed my stuff and ran.
Moss signed her first contract at age 14, in 1988. Four years later, she went through another situation that she described as “unpleasant” when posing in just her underwear for Calvin Klein, with actor Mark Wahlberg. The former model said she was feeling “extremely vulnerable” and scared and had to take a tranquilizer to finish the job.
Today the owner of her own agency, she says that in her company, the models have all her support to denounce and refuse proposals or situations that could make them uncomfortable. Among the agents is Lila, 19, her daughter, the result of her marriage to British journalist Jefferson Hack, founder of the magazine Dazed and Confused.
“I take care of my models. I make sure they have their agents on set so there’s someone there to say, ‘I don’t think that’s appropriate,'” Moss said in an interview with the Desert Island Discs radio show. BBC.
