Groping, abuse and racism: 10 of the most shocking revelations from The Super Models TV show
Groping, abuse and racism: 10 of the most shocking revelations from The Super Models TV show
A new Apple TV+ documentary, which follows the careers of modelling stars Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford, has brought several shocking and formerly unknown revelations to light. The Super Models is a four-part series spotlighting the four model’s early careers and how they were treated working as young women, and the most sought-after models in the fashion industry in the late Eighties and Nineties. Campbell, Evangelista, Turlington and Crawford, now in their fifties and with children of their own, offer a snapshot into their early careers, like Turlington’s pre-modelling work experience that involved babysitting and cleaning toilets, or Campbell’s experience of having her bag stolen in New York and running out of money. Each episode has a theme – “The Look,” “The Fame,” “The Power” and “The Legacy” – with each model addressing the camera in intimate interviews, featuring archival footage from their heyday. While each of the models discussed the “glory days” or “golden years” of their careers in the Nineties, Evangelista admitted in the documentary that those years “weren’t always perfect”. As all four of the models recount their own experiences of misogyny and mistreatment working in the fashion industry, here are 10 of the main revelations from Apple TV+’s The Super Models: Evangelista said she regrets ever saying that she doesn’t get out of bed for ‘less than $10,000 a day’ In 1990, Evangelista uttered one of the most iconic lines in modelling history in a Vogue interview, confessing that she won’t “get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.” Despite later apologising, Evangelista said she regretted ever saying it. “I shouldn’t have said that – that quote makes me crazy,” she says in the series. “If a man said it? It’s acceptable to be proud of what you command.” Cindy Crawford calls out Oprah Winfrey for treating her like ‘chattel’ in old interview In a clip shown in the documentary, Winfrey is heard introducing the then aspiring model to The Oprah Winfrey Show , before asking: “Did she always have this body? This is unbelievable. Stand up just a moment, now this is what I call a BODY.” Crawford, who was accompanied by John Casablancas, a representative from Elite Modelling Agency, then sheepishly stood up before the studio audience to show her figure. Reflecting on the moment in the new documentary, Crawford said: "I was like the chattel or a child, be seen and not heard.” “When you look at it through today’s eyes, Oprah’s like, ‘Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you’re worthy of being here.’” Crawford added: “In the moment I didn’t recognise it and watching it back I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, that was so not okay really.’ Especially from Oprah.” The Independent has contacted Winfrey’s representatives for comment. Naomi Campbell says she was called a racial slur for the first time when she was five years old Speaking about her childhood as a performer, Campbell revealed that she was called the N-word when she was five years old, but the supermodel said that she didn’t let it affect the way she viewed herself. “I wasn’t going to accept being bullied at school for the colour of my skin,” she said. “My mother was paying my school fees just like everybody else. I had every right to be there, so take your bullying somewhere else, is how I felt.” Cindy Crawford says her father initially thought modelling ‘was another form of prostitution’ Elsewhere in the documentary, Crawford shared how her father, John Crawford, didn’t initially understand that modelling was a career. “My dad really didn’t understand that modelling was a real career. He thought modelling was like another name for prostitution,” she said. “So [my parents] came with me to my very first modelling appointment.” She added: “I never even thought about modelling,” she said. “I didn’t even know it was a real job. I didn’t know how I would get from DeKalb, Illinois, to a magazine.” Linda Evangelista told bookers that if they didn’t book Naomi then they wouldn’t get her either In a segment on the racism that Naomi Campbell faced while working in New York City, the model told the cameras: “I would put my hands out many times on New York City streets, and the taxis would fly by,” “Then Christy [Turlington] would put out the hand and they would stop. The guy would be like: ‘I don’t want to go to Brooklyn,’ and I’m like: ‘I’m not going to Brooklyn.’ I was just like, why is he saying that? It didn’t strike me until, you know, Christy would have to stand out in front of me, get me a taxi to get it to work.” Campbell then shared how her friendship with Turlington grew over time, noting that they lived together throughout the early days of her career. Evangelista also expressed how she tried to advocate for Campbell when the British model was discriminated against because of her race. “Naomi wasn’t always booked to do the shows,” Evangelista said. “I didn’t understand. Naomi, I thought, was more beautiful, had a much more rocking body than I did and a better strut. [I was] like: ‘Why aren’t they booking her?’ I said to them: ‘If you don’t book her, you don’t get me.’” Linda Evangelista claims she was abused by ex-husband Gérald Marie Evangelista was married to Gérard Marie between 1987 and 1993, who was the European chief of Elite Model Management at the time. “I learned that maybe I was in the wrong relationship,” she said looking back on the marriage. ​​“It’s easier said than done to leave an abusive relationship. I understand that concept, because I lived it. If it was just a matter of saying, ‘I want a divorce, see ya’... it doesn’t work that way.” “He knew not to touch my face, not to touch the money-maker, you know?” She continued: “I married him when I was 22 and I got out when I was 27 and he let me out as long as he got everything. But I was safe and I got my freedom.” In 2020, Marie was accused of rape and sexual misconduct by seven women, with Evangelista praising their “courage and strength”. Evangelista credited the seven women for giving her the courage to come forward She said in the documentary: “Thanks to the power of all these women coming forward, God bless all of them, it gave me the courage now to speak... In a statement to Apple TV+, Marie denied the claims of abuse and said he “has never committed the slightest act of violence”. While The Independent has connected Marie’s representatives for comment, his legal representatives told MailOnline: “Gérald Marie firmly objects to the defamatory and false allegations made against him. He refuses to participate in this dishonest media controversy.” Marie was never charged and the investigation into possible rape and sexual assault was closed. Naomi Campbell recalls a time an art director told her she had perfect breasts and touched them without her consent Reflecting on a photoshoot she attended as a young model, Campbell recalled how she dealt with a situation when she was sexually assaulted. “Once an art director felt the need to tell me my breasts were perfect. But he felt the need to have to touch them,” she recalled. Campbell said that she turned to her mentor, the late fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa, when the incident occurred. Campbell added that Alaïa, to whom she refers as “Papa” throughout the series, continuously “protected” her during her earlier career. “I called Papa immediately,” recalled Campbell. “I called him right away and Papa called [the art director] up straight away.” “[The art director] never came near me again. It served that I opened my mouth and spoke my truth because I believe that protected me, as well as everyone that I was surrounded by.” Turlington posed topless aged 17 While models recall the realities of working with adult men as teenagers, Turlington remembers being asked to pose topless by a photographer when she was aged 17. “Can you put your arms down a little bit lower? A little bit lower,” she says she was told. “I do remember being like, ‘Oh my gosh, I shouldn’t be doing this.’” She was shocked to discover the image appeared on the cover of PHOTO magazine. “I don’t think there was any age that you were supposed to be in order to have a nude picture. I don’t think there was anyone monitoring or regulating any of that.” Naomi Campbell said she was paid less than white models “I wanted to be paid the same as the white models,” Campbell said, recalling her fight to appear on the cover of Vogue. “I was working for Mr [Yves] Saint Laurent [at the time] so I told them,” she said. “I didn’t know what type of power he had. I didn’t know he would say something.” “The next thing I know, I was in New York.... I had no idea until it came out that it was the first time a Black person had been on a French Vogue cover [in 1988]. I didn’t think of it as breaking a barrier. I just looked at it as: ‘This can’t stop here, this can’t be the only token.” The Super Models is now streaming on Apple TV+.

Angela White reveals what she looks for in her ideal man
One of the world’s most famous adult actors Angela White has revealed exactly what she looks for in the perfect man. The 38-year-old Australian is one of the most recognisable stars of the adult industry and she has opened up about what qualities she looks for in a prospective partner. Speaking as a guest on the One Night With Steiny podcast, alongside fellow adult star, Sky Bri, White was asked about her preferences in men when searching for a serious significant other. White replied: “Kindness, intelligence, I guess openness because I’m a sexually adventurous person.” The host, Steiny, replied: “You never hear openness. I love that. I really think that people sleep on that.” “Kindness was the first thing that came to mind. Kindness is my number one,” White said in response. In her podcast appearance, the porn star revealed she has recently been much more career-driven. She has recently made several appearances on podcasts and on TV. I Got Rejected by Sky Bri and Angela White! | One Night with Steiny www.youtube.com Earlier this year she attended a conference at the University of California, Santa Barbara and White hinted at what her next career move might be. After giving a lecture, she said: “This is my third time as a guest speaker at this film studies class that approaches pornography as worthy of serious inquiry as a genre and as popular culture.” She added: “While it has been a number of years since my research dissertation was published in The Routledge Companion to Media, Sex, and Sexuality, academic pursuit remains an interest of mine and something I wish to return to in the future.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Freya Vee Review: I Took My Life (& Vagina) Into My Own Hands With This Razor/Vibrator
Freya Vee Review: I Took My Life (& Vagina) Into My Own Hands With This Razor/Vibrator
When it comes to unusual and specific sex toys, we thought we’d seen it all: from sex toys disguised as hammers, snails, and roses to wearable jewelry to household items (think wooden spoon as a paddle or an electric toothbrush as a classic clitoral stimulator). So, it takes a lot to surprise me. However, when I learned about Freya’s Vee — a vibrator-slash-razor blade — my interest (and fear) was piqued.

YouTuber uncovers dark adult version of SpongeBob made by show's creators
YouTuber uncovers dark adult version of SpongeBob made by show's creators
If you were a kid in the early 2000s, chances are you grew up watching the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants during your childhood. The loveable sea sponge and his best friend Patrick the starfish got up to all kinds of funny adventures, but now a dark adult version made by the show’s creators has found its way online. SpongeBob “Behind Closed Doors” is a book of NSFW pornographic drawings created by the cartoon show’s storyboard artists. The pictures that were never intended to see the light of day have now ended up online after they were recently uncovered by a lost media researcher this month. In a 2012 interview, the former writer and storyboard director at the show, Kent Osborne, revealed that such drawings existed and explained that there existed a book of NSFW, obscene depictions of SpongeBob SquarePants characters drawn by the storyboard artists. Osborne revealed: “At the end of the season, all the storyboard artists would do these hilarious, crude drawings of SpongeBob on Post-It notes just to make everyone else laugh.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter On 18 July, these images ended up being posted on YouTube by a user named LSuperSonicQ, who captioned the video: “The Darkest SpongeBob Lost Media, Found [Behind Closed Doors].” The video was about the book as the video creator revealed they were in touch with someone who had a copy of the NSFW document. It included a picture of the front cover and six images from inside the book which depicted characters from the cartoon engaging in sexual scenarios. The YouTuber also tweeted about the discovery, writing: “This is, the lost SpongeBob HOLY GRAIL https://youtu.be/mo1xHGhgjZQ “In the early 2000s, a dozen of SpongeBob's storyboard artists contributed inappropriate drawings to a book called Behind Closed Doors. “For over 20 years this was unknown to exist and never been seen until today.” indy100 has contacted Nickelodeon for comment.

Lena the Plug’s husband bought her a Lamborghini for sleeping with a porn star
Lena the Plug’s husband bought her a Lamborghini for sleeping with a porn star
Not everyone would celebrate if their other half was filmed sharing a bed with another person. But adult entertainers Lena the Plug and Adam22 are certainly not everyone. Indeed, such was the delight felt by Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison) that his wife had successfully shot an adult scene with porn star Jason Luv, that he decided to treat her to a lavish gift. The ‘No Jumper’ podcast host posted a video to social media showing his missus standing with her eyes closed next to a green Lamborghini. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Addressing the camera, he then announced: “OK, Lena, I’m so proud of you doing your first ever BBC scene that I decided that I wanted to get you a little something nice.” She then opened her eyes and shrieked: “What? This? For me? Babe!” before embracing her husband. (For the avoidance of doubt, “BBC” does not refer to the British Broadcasting Corporation here but to a very explicit slang term that we most certainly don’t endorse.) Lena the Plug (real name Lena Nersesian) and Luv had their erotic encounter at the end of June, to the shock of millions of fans. She and Adam are known for their podcast ‘Plug Talk’ which sees them interview a female porn actor, then have sex with her at the end of the episode. But this was the first time she’d had sex with another man since the start of her relationship with the YouTuber seven years ago. Adam admitted that he initially felt conflicted about their liaison, but soon came to embrace it. “It’s officially been a week since I let my wife do a porn with another guy,” he tweeted earlier this month. “I felt a little jealous at first but overall it wasn’t that big a deal. She’s watched me sleep with hundreds of girls and it’s never affected our relationship. “Sleeping with that gentleman has been amazing for both her career and our business @plugtalkshow. Overall I’m glad we did it,” he added. It comes after the content creator found himself subjected to a torrent of online mockery for “allowing” his wife to perform with a male colleague. Lena was quick to defend her man, telling TMZ: “I've had 200 threesomes with him and women. Is that a simp? "Someone who's been given all of this sexual experience and I get one guy and it's like a big deal?" Have your say in our news democracy.
