Souled-Out

I just want ADRIANA to know what she is doing and to be careful and to not let him take advantage of her or manipulate her in any kind of way and to not let him have any kind of power of her career or what she does with it or how she feels about it. She has had her career for many years before him, she doesn't need him for it at all. Hell, I don't think she even needs him personally because in my opinion I don't see much progress since she lost confidence and she doesn't seem that happy right now. But all these people that have been telling her how much they respect her career as a model and as a person is because of Adriana herself. She is the reason why she is seen as an icon and why people loved her as a person. It came from who she was from 1999-2017. She has to remember that and know that and therefore carry on as that and to not let him invade that part of her life in any kind of way. Because I don't care who he is supposed to be, Adriana was already this huge star and a good person before she met him for a reason. As much as people praised her these past two weeks you'd think her confidence would be restored. But I guess having to leave VS mentally is a process and I understand that completely. I just hope that sadness doesn't last long and she becomes motivated to do everything she can to carry on Happy thanksgiving guys! This post is from Adriana

The sad part is, you can't tell her that obviously. I just think its ironic that he is supposed to be such a healer and so magical when its obvious Adriana is having one of her toughest years right now. Thats why I said only Adriana can help herself, I hope she realizes it. Because I don't see how he is supposed to be who he is, and Adriana has lost her confidence since she has met him and become more insecure. I noticed that when she made that essay about people's comments on an ig post, this: This post correlates with her being more censored on social media and such. But the thing is Adriana has been dealing with social media and people comments since 2014. She has been dealing with this industry since the 90s. But she just made the choice to say that, this year. Its ironic she does that when she is dating a guy who is insecure himself when it comes to comments and social media. That is why Metin is ALWAYS checking his comments, liking the good ones and blocking people who don't make good ones. Because he is insecure himself when it comes to people's comments on there. And as always when Adriana dates someone they rub off on her terribly, and his insecure ways has rubbed off on her. And so I am sure that is the reason why her confidence has taken this hit (along with her getting older) and now all of a sudden she cares that much about what people say on social media. Because her boyfriend does. And now, she is censored. But like I said, its obvious Adriana doesn't see it that way. She is still with him and all that. Like I said, at this point, I can only PRAY and hope things continue to get better and she truly finds herself again. Even if she thinks she has found herself, I doubt it with how less confident she has been all year. Her best years as a model and imo as a person, were before him for a reason. I KNOW I don't know her personally but like I said, she does not look happy right now. And she had alot of slip ups this year in relation to fitness, and her modelling career was affected. She has had much better years and ironically they were before him. So as I said, I hope she realizes this before its too late. Don't get me wrong I still think she is a good person with a good heart, but I feel that this year wasn't one of her best because of certain choices

I think it was a cover

Yeah, she is surely more censored. Its not even just about posting nice selfies, but the fact that even her work out selfies she used to post on her feed. You could tell she did not care. She didn't care if she was a model and was expected to post only pretty selfies. She didn't care that people complained about her sweating on the selfies. Like what happened to that? Thats why I said I feel as if she isn't a free spirit anymore. Which is ironic because she is supposed to be so "enlightened" because of Metin , however it is obvious she is very censored and lost confidence. How can you be enlightened and all that but be so censored for the first time? And the thing is, it's important to have confidence, especially as you get older. She can't let that be stripped away from her NOW because things only get harder as you get older. Only when she was younger was it more fitting for her to be insecure, not now. I am not convinced everything is that great for her PERSONALLY. It could be because she has left VS and so its still difficult for her. But I think if she was scared or uncertain about her future after it, she'd actually try to put herself out there more on social media and such, as a model today that is the smart thing to do. I think she is in a weird place mentally because of the career thing. However, its obvious this entire year that she has censored herself and didn't have as much confidence as before, so its not only because of this VS stuff. I just hope she truly finds herself again. I think she is still lost a little. And leaving VS probably adds on to that because she probably feels like a piece of her identity has been taken away. I don't blame her for feeling that way because it is sad. And it hard to be doing something for like 20 years and then you have to stop it. But yeah, I hope by 2019, things look way better than they have this year. Majority of this year has been a rocky to witness. Its only just getting good after her puma deal and after she retired because 1. VS is dying anyway, its a good thing Adriana doesn't have to deal with that 2. Her major impact as a VS angel has been solidified. She got alot of respect. But it seems like she is still in a weird place mentally, no matter how much respect and love she got. She did get a cover this year, the W magazine one. And thats a recent one, she didn't have any at the start and thats because of all the bullshit she had going on in the start of the year with her struggling with fitness at the start and all that metin and the IG post drama shit. Remember she didn't even go to the MET. Its been alot of shit this year, which is ironic. I just hope things look up more and she watches out for herself more, especially if she is scared or uncertain about her career after VS. She has to start acting like it and do what she needs to do. Which is help herself and get her confidence back too. Obviously only SHE can help herself with these things. She had one cover this year, for W magazine. That was a cover.

I doubt she will. You can really tell that right now, for WHATEVER reason, Adriana doesn't want to show alot anymore... I am glad that she retired from VS this year but I feel like in general she has censored herself this year. Not even just talking about the taking off the clothes shit. I feel like the free spirit part of her is kinda gone. Like she still lacks posting on social media, and to be honest, these past couple of pics we have gotten of Adriana, she doesn't look or seem happy. At the show I understood it, because that is sad even for the fans. But at the schutz event, in those creppy pics metin took of her, I don't get genuine happiness from her. IDK whats that all about...does she regret some life choices or is she STILL sad about her last show. But with her looking the way she did at her last event (the Schultz event) and those photos snuck of her and she is super silent on social media. I doubt she'd post anything about thanksgiving. I am not getting a good vibe. The last time Adriana looked like that was when she first got divorced. She has that exact same look + she is being so mute right now I hope she is okay But as far as her getting into another lingerie brand, I doubt it. Not only because of her post but also how she felt about VS. She was closer to those people than ale was tbh, I think she loved it more

She is probably like sofia vegera, the accent and english gets worse. It happens lol

The fact that Adriana has remained humble through all of it is amazing. Because I am so sure, nobody else's departure from VS will ever be as big and meaningful as Adriana's. Like the rock actually congratulated and praised her, even those who hated on her admitted that she was gonna be missed. She made one hell of a mark, there is no denying it anymore, and tbh probably the biggest mark. But anybody will tell you she is still kind and down to earth

OH MY GOD, How awesome! Its amazing to have someone like the rock respect your career as a model

When she had a party for him she did. Like when she had a party for sienna things were on posted (on her ig stories. I don't think valentina has had her party yet

She never posts about anyone's birthday lol. But yesterday was Thursday, its a week day and Valentina is young. She won't have a party on a thursday. She will probably do something this weekend. Thats what happened with Sienna.

Lol, it does not matter whether or not she is crying. Either way, whether she is smiling or crying while smiling, her face is being contorted. It was not just because she was crying You really gonna disregard that difference? Lol. Its obvious her face looks fuller with the makeup on And if she made the same mistake as elsa, why does she not look like elsa (who seems to be struggling to smile) when she is standing right next to her Probably because she always had her face structured like the rest of her family ^ that was in 2005. If you don't believe that her facial structure was exaggerated with makeup, you don't want to. Especially since you claimed you didn't know how it worked anyway. How it works is, no matter if you have makeup on or not, the person should still look the same. As I said, I can see if we were talking about someone who never had a distinct and raised cheekbones, but we aren't. Its very possible the makeup used for this season enhanced what she already had. Her face cheeks looked bigger with makeup on than it does when its off and highlighting was done alot this year. Her face looked too slimmer without makeup as well as on today. That is not a coincidence

No she does not look the same without makeup and in the photo from yesterday, than she did during the show. Her face looks like its usual and normal structure whenever VS is not touching her face. Before the makeup After the makeup If anything was "settled" she wouldn't look like that on the runway. And Adriana always had really high cheekbones, like her mother and grandmother. They don't come out of nowhere and makeup can enhance them even more. It was the makeup like @nhlovesadri said because her cheeks look way more normal before makeup was applied. If it were settled in the makeup less pic, then she wouldn't look like that on the runway after makeup was applied. If they look like they usually do without makeup, as well as during non VS events, it was VS' makeup scheme for this year.

I have no idea. Not at all. I am just glad Adriana doesn't have to be apart of it. Some kind of change will have be made though. I am just glad that she seemingly got a very deserving good bye.

It turns out makeup really is that powerful lol, especially since high cheek bones run in her family to be honest. Without it Adriana last night, makeup done by someone else

Wow, it hasn't even been a week since Adriana has left and VS is already crashing down. Like their CEO just resigned. I hope Adriana realized how blessed she is, because she left the brand at the perfect timing. Its not looking good for them and her departure was already gonna effect them. Now with their CEO also leaving, for sure things are going to get worse. Adriana seriously left at the perfect time. She won't have to deal with the bullshit thats likely to come

I am pleasantly surprised that she or her team started posting soon, its smart to keep the stimulation of her growing followers going, especially since she will be on her own now after the show. Take advantage of the new followers, its gonna do good for her

That was last year, they haven't came up with a new one this year

The VS contract would still count for this year, it just won't be next year. And by next year, who knows whats up next. She also still has her maybelline contract and her miu miu campaign and schultz from this year. Also that dudani ad

I knew it! Ya'll wondering why it takes so long for you to get pics of certain models backstage and you only see them with makeup on, this is why 'She's so down-to-earth': Rebecca Judd reveals Adriana Lima is the only Victoria's Secret model to allow media to interview her without makeup on https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6379597/Adriana-Lima-allows-media-interview-without-makeup-on.html

I KNEW IT, I knew there was a reason you wasn't seeing others like that lol

Yeah, Taylor’s comment about Adriana months ago was here

@Aurora Dawn I am looking at this person's post and you are def right they seemed to have made it to talk shit about Adriana everywhere. WTF. I know when something great happens for others, people like that do come out of the woodwork but atleast try to hide the fact that you're hater. Jeez. Every single post about this person is malicious to Adriana and they made the account just for that purpose. Let the girl have her moment, why do they have to be THAT person.

That part. Talking about there has yet to be any evidence of Candice treating Adriana like that. There is no evidence of Adriana being jealous or insecure of Candice at all. As a matter of fact, I have never heard that. Its actually obvious that Adriana has become CONFIDENT during those years. Thats when she'd actually post selfies of her after a work out and people would complain and she didn't give a damn because she liked it. Somebody who was insecure, wouldn't do that, especially when people complained in the comments. When Candice was being pushed, thats what Adriana was doing. Posting selfies she knew most people didn't like and saw it but she didn't give a damn. There is actually a post on her IG where she said she knew the lightening on the photo sucked and basically it wasn't good picture and she says "But I like it". Adriana had enough confidence that it gets mistaken as arrogance by those who know nothing about her. The ONLY insecurity Adriana mentioned this day is her teeth. All she said about her body is that it changed because she had children BUT she didn't say she was insecure about it. She also had no problem showing it off. And she said this around 2015-2016, VS was done pushing Candice. Before then, Adriana didn't talk about her insecurities. And she also mentioned while she hated her teeth, her face keeps getting better. So I don't see Candice making Adriana insecure. Like Aurora said, you sound more like a hater who probably is mad because Adriana had a huge moment and it overshadowed everybody, especially with you jumping at another's model defense like that trying to make it seem like Adriana was insecure because of them. Adriana has done so much more than her using her looks, I doubt it. And fuck all that underpaid shit, VS helped Candice career alot. You wouldn't have known Candice without VS, so she had better been grateful for being pushed. She didn't have to get paid like Adriana, they gave her massive exposure that lead her to getting more jobs and spotlight. If she had a problem with that, then she was just ungrateful. And none of that is Adriana's fault. Thats not even called resentment, thats called being an ungrateful bitch. Because you don't just start at a company and automatically get treated like the most valuable model. You gotta spend more time working for that, just like Adriana herself had to. SO, you're better off sticking with the mean girl theory than that "resentment" shit.You see how big of a deal Adriana is seen to VS? What does a newbie look like having her status already? So your theory is an even worse look, and it is not a reason to be rude to Adriana, if Candice ever was. Also, keep in mind like the user said, Adriana is NOT the only one Candice exhibited that behavior with. Makes it easier to believe when its not even the first time people have seen her be rude to others

Exactly. I DO think Candice has matured and grown. But what always turned me off about her was that when she was younger and VS was giving her a push you can tell she got along BETTER with those who weren't a threat. I don't want to bash her at all, but thats honestly how I felt. I do think she is past that now, however I personally am very turned off by it.
