According to the Daily Mail, the model said that back then, in her 20s, it was not easy either to understand that she was in an abusive relationship or to divorce her powerful husband.
Marie in the following years was accused by several models of sexual abuse and rape, which gave Evazelista the courage to speak out.
“Thanks to the strength of all these women who have come forward, I now have the courage to speak out… I really want justice to be served. I wish such m@λ@es would think twice and get scared before doing such a thing. I want women to know that they are not alone,” he said.
