One Model Exposes Sexual Abuse in the Fashion Industry | Glamour Women of the Year 2017 

There are disturbing people in the comments section trying to downplay the issue and saying that she had the choice to leave. First off, I’m sure most of them are men and second, this industry preys on young naive girls most of which are taught to listen and do as someone says i.e. school: you’re rewarded when you do as the teacher says or get good grades, you’re recognized. Of course these young girls are going to listen to what their “boss” tells them. Not to mention the fear and embarrassment of speaking up when something happens to them I’m sure is unreal and overwhelming even though there is nothing to be embarrassed about you can’t tell them how to feel in the moment it happens. You can’t fault the victim, that’s ridiculous.

Wow! She is well-spoken, beautiful and BRAVE. I found it easy to relate to her story when she explained “is this what this is supposed to be like”...or whatever she said. Because when you’re young, innocent and naive to the lurking vultures, you have nothing to base anything on. These sick men choose young people because they can be manipulated easier. These men also know that young women are trying to achieve their goals and will Likely do things in that pursuit. Also, her discussion made Kendall Jenner pop in my mind for some reason. A while ago she was having a rough time on the Kardashian show; having lots of anxiety when traveling for modeling jobs overseas. She discussed this with her mom but I felt like her mom wasn’t getting it. I’m wondering if she’s also been a victim or seen bad things? I hope she’s brave enough to speak out to help others if so? I hope her mother isn’t pushing her into these things for monetary gain? Once you sell your soul, do you ever truly get it back?😔

Spoiler alert. It's every industry. Politics, sports endorsement deals, music industry, high level military. You reach a certain level then you have to metaphorically and literally sell you soul.

Me too. :) she is so brave

I could never be a model, I'm too stubborn for my own good.

God bless this women may Jesus Christ help all young women that are being abused

Can we have Brooke Shields do a doc. It's been going on for how long ? I'm 55 yrs old. Thanks fashion world.

here's a story of a 1920's fashion model; (can't remember name, some variation on catherine) katja walked over the streets, looking at the beautifull toys, she could never afford three florines for a dollhouse, father made that in a whole week. for her cheap toys where available, she would play untill they broke. so wandering through the snowy streets she looked for a rich uncle (patron), for 'tippling' her parents knew verry well, her lowly job. In fact it was they who sold her to the local brothel. for a shilling men would be allowed to 'use' her as the wished. katja was turned off by the idea of sleeping with old, drunk, ugly or thin men (fat was fashionable at the time) she preffered painters, those men who would compose a love poem, on canvas. they also mostly looked and rarely touched. one day a rich patron proposed, she married him, on her sweet sixteen. she told this story, shortly before she died at the old old age of eighty, she outlived all who feasted on her flesh. i think this is the life story of the barrones of vaugham. king leopold's misstress

Respect it takes immerse internal strength to come out and say it so honestly

I love this talk

Her first two minutes of justifying herself is utter bravo sierra. My daughter at 14, absolutely beautiful and whip smart, was in a movie , a minor part. They wanted to expand her role in the movie and pay her way more money. After about a week on the set she said " no". She quickly saw thru the facade, the emptiness of it all, the faking, the posers. She never worked a movie again.

Modeling is not a glamorous job. Neither is being a flight attendant or a topless dancer.

Thank you for speaking out!!

I wish they had put Cameron's name in the title

She is so articulate and well spoken. She is brave AF

Idc about her beauty, her intilligence is attractive.

Wow so much innocence I hope she knows she is a big inspiration.

I hate it when people go talking bad things about men but, when it gets to these stories however, since I have seen them myself I can't say anything but silence. 😔

This is the best speech ever, deeper than anything on equality I have ever heard.

"THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" JESUS WORDS OF LIFE ❤️🙏🏾❤️

"She knew exactly what was right and wrong..."

Brave woman.

You are an inspiration

A model's silence (considered 'professionalism' in the industry) is mistaken for voicelessness. The models are left speechless by abusive practices in the industry during photoshoots presented as instructions.

I see you. Thank you.

Her discussion of structural power is spot on.

I heard her Ted Talk a few years ago. I wrote about her speech for a public speaking class I took in college.

I hated thier leering so i gave it up and ran

Yes there are always manipulative disturbing people in the comments. God help all those who put their faith in them...

I can't even watch this. This sucks so much. This industry is really sketchy.

Wasn't this before the Weinstein allegations became viral??

👏👏👏👏👏👏💖

She sounds like Anne Hathaway 💗

Great speech!

Thank you for inspiring on this issue that exists across professions but especially in yours...and also for saying in so many words to paraphrase "Many many others speak out with far fewer resources and far more consequences..." False heroes aren't about recovery they are about manipulation...but will eventually be exposed on a massive level...

God bless...

Money was on the line but they don’t consent and keep doing it and letting the guys know it’s all good... lol how naive

Smile money, haha ha, money compromise.

Psalm 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

Help...metoo

Oh please you can leave if you want Who buys most of clothes the fashion industry produces and sustains the industry

I would like to mention that the q-word is a slur, and Russel's reckless use of its is pretty bad (7:47). She had a good speech otherwise though. I really loved how much courage she put forth into admitting she was taken advantage of by her jerk bosses.

Keep your politics to yourself

I don't know she might be fake, actually, she is reinforcing what is already there in industry and endorsing feminism , showing off her intelligence, whats is the point of all this? Nothing new
