Cindy Crawford criticized Oprah Winfrey for objectifying her during an old interview, saying she felt like “chattel.”

Naomi Campbell shared that she faced racial slurs from the age of five but didn’t let it deter her.

Linda Evangelista advocated for Naomi Campbell when she faced discrimination due to her race, saying she wouldn’t work unless Naomi was also booked.

Linda Evangelista revealed she was abused by her ex-husband Gérald Marie, who was accused of rape and sexual misconduct by seven women in 2020.

Naomi Campbell recalled an incident where an art director touched her breasts without consent, and she turned to her mentor, Azzedine Alaïa, for help.

Christy Turlington posed topless at age 17 for a photographer, highlighting the lack of age regulation in the industry.

Naomi Campbell fought for equal pay with white models when appearing on the cover of Vogue.

Campbell’s appearance on the French Vogue cover in 1988 marked the first time a Black person graced the cover, a milestone she aimed to build upon.
