Listening to the podcast the beginning is a lot about the siblings but towards the second half she talks about the VS controversy a little and is talking about how her body has changed since she was 18. She said her body has changed a lot in the last year and she's felt it in the high fashion industry. She said it's discouraging her to do more high fashion stuff because she doesn't want to put pressure on herself to change the way she looks and ruin the healthy relationship with food she has right now. She is talking about how her fanbase is young and how she's always trying to be a "real and authentic" role model to girls because she was saddened realizing models she used to looked up to looked the way they did because of eating disorder and being unhealthy. She said if she loses the weight she wonders what image it is showing her young fans. She said she hasn't really done fashion weeks in like two seasons because she knew that she didn't want to put the pressure on herself to get her body there to where it would be accepted there. She talks about how Behati took her under her wing when they met and helped keep her grounded. 

 

I really enjoyed that part and I appreciate her candor. It's not easy for models to speak about those topics, but I'm glad both her and Romee (among others) are doing it.

She is a goddess, and reading this makes me love her even more. She should start with her own health--her face and figure are gorgeous--but her real allure comes from within. If she keeps that healthy, then she will remain a star for a long time.

me too, I mean I've loved her for like 7 years at this point since I followed her on tumblr lol but she was really open talking about that all in this and it just made me really happy to hear she is taking care of herself and is really thinking about the fact that she has a young audience and knows they're influenced by her and her choices.

Thank you for posting this and good on Taylor for looking after herself and setting such a positive example.

There is something more than a bit insane about a modeling industry that expect a 24-year old woman to have the exact same body she had as a 17-year old girl...

[Clauds]

I mean it's the same industry that will put the said 17-years old girl as the face of their Bridal collections... As if child-brides were not a major issue in some parts of the world 

[elfstone]

Its fairly normal in the industry for 17 or even 15 year olds to be working with bridal brands. IDK about y'all but I wouldnt be able to deduce how old they were by merely looking at them. Which is why I dont think its that big a deal

That is something else entirely. Those are girls as young as 13 or 12, and vast majority of them are forced into marriage by their parents

[Schemer]

Isabeli Fontana started working for the VS at the age of 16.

Which is especially nuts considering that Jeffrey Epstein loved hanging out around the VS girls. 😟

[elfstone]

Whats especially nuts is how some people, either consciously or inadvertantly downplay the true scope of Epstein's criminality. He wasn't just soliciting un****ge girls, but running an organized ring trafficking them, abusing/coercing them to have s*x with his pals.

Yeah and the fashion industry ain't helping at all by having 16 years old in bridal gowns, these girls should be modeling prom dresses, not wedding dresses that's creepy as fuck and it just helps perpetuate an image that is very wrong of extremely young brides being cool.

 

Tbh the entire fashion industry is gross but that's for a completely different thread

And then filming them and using the material for bribery. It's said that a ton of DVDs were found labeled (famous dude) + (girl's name).

 

 

I also got some creepy vibes from people around Taylor few years ago, but she seems to be OK now.

 

[elfstone]

Yeah Taylor dated that guy for six or seven years. There was no element of coercion or gaslighting that I know of, so good for her I guess.  I am sure it was worth it for her while it lasted, you could tell she really loved him

[SympathysSilhouette]

Wasn't he much older than her?

[elfstone]

Yeah, about a decade or so older. But again, whats the big fkin deal?

[Schemer]

10 year difference isn't much when everyone is adult, but it is a lot when one of the people is a teenager. But, that's done now so no point in talking about it too much. Hair Gel is in the past.

[elfstone]

Indeed It is frowned upon by some people. However, such relationships are certainly not odd or illegal, or morally reprehensible in any way. Not in Taylor's case anyway. 

[Schemer]

If she was under 18 when they started dating, then yes, those relationships are odd. And even legality is questionable based on location. And it's often called 'grooming'. And I do find them morally reprehensible. He was an adult man, she was a teenage girl.
