Lindsay walked the year her contract expired, but she walked as a non-Angel, and didn't get any of the spotlight or Angel treatment- back of the group shots, wasn't featured in the between show segments(that I can remember), or used in the press interviews, compared to Doutzen and Karlie who also walked their last show in 2014. They just phased her out slowly instead. There was also zero coverage or mention of her leaving. Karlie, Doutzen, Miranda all created a buzz when they were leaving, and Lindsay just faded away. Though, that's not really VS' treatment of her, but an indication of how much people cared about her.
