An alliance backed by top stars says the lingerie chain has failed to protect women
New York — Victoria’s Secret is under fire again from models after new allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced at the weekend.
Models and executives were bullied and harassed for decades due to an “entrenched culture of misogyny” at the lingerie chain, owned by L Brands, according to a New York Times investigation published last weekend. An L Brands spokesperson said the company is proud of the progress it has made and remains committed to continuous improvement.
Victoria’s Secret made it “abundantly clear”, according to the letter, that it wouldn’t take the allegations seriously, and that management wouldn’t take any concrete steps to tackle the problem. Instead, the company told the group the business is “in the process of continued learning and listening”, the group said.‘Common goal’
